Renew Your Passports Pronto!
From PureWow - H/T Alisha
Yikes, Here’s What Happens if You Don’t Renew Your Passport This Fall
By HEATH GOLDMAN
Unless you renewed your passport yesterday, do yourself a favor and take it out right now. If it expires anytime next year, get yourself renewed now.
Why is that? Well, as reported by the L.A. Times, fewer people apply in the fall, so wait times from September to December are the shortest (just four weeks instead of months).
Here’s another (very tricky) reason: In January 2018, the Real ID Act kicks in. This means driver’s licenses from 23 states (including New York and California) won’t cut it for domestic travel, forcing folks to use their passports.

How to Avoid A**holes
An excerpt from Vox -
A Stanford psychologist on the art of avoiding assholes
"Not giving a shit takes the wind out of an asshole's sails."
by Sean Illing
The world is full of assholes. Wherever you live, whatever you do, odds are you’re surrounded by assholes. The question is, what to do about it?
Robert Sutton, a psychology professor at Stanford University, has stepped up to answer this eternal question. He’s the author of a new book, The Asshole Survival Guide, which is basically what it sounds like: a guide for surviving the assholes in your life.
In 2010, Sutton published The No Asshole Rule, which focused on dealing with assholes at an organizational level. In the new book, he offers a blueprint for managing assholes at the interpersonal level. If you’ve got an asshole boss, an asshole friend, or an asshole colleague, this book might be for you.

Quote
The players have not committed the sin of introducing politics into football. Their sin is to be black men talking about politics when the NFL wants them to shut up and entertain. - Travis Waldron
