July 7, 2023 :: Death, Photopea, and Bukele

One quote from the past…

Life with disgrace is dreadful. A glorious death is to be envied, and, if anything happens to me recollect death is a debt we must all pay, and whether now or in a few years hence can be but of little consequence.

Horatio Nelson

Want a masterclass in leadership from Britain’s greatest hero?

One tool from the present…

Photopea is like Photoshop but free and in your browser. I need to mess around with images from time to time, but I don’t know the first thing about graphic design. This is unbelievably helpful.

One thought about the future…

People sometimes ask me who I think the “great men” of today are. Nayib Bukele is near the top of my list. He has turned El Salvador from one of the world’s most dangerous nations, to one of its safest. He’s currently got an approval rating over 90%.

Despite this, some people wish he would be nicer while engaging in a life-or-death struggle with the world’s most dangerous drug gangs. He’s definitely someone to keep an eye on.

One meme…
