I tried to think of a situation in which using LinkedIn's Intro is okay
There isn’t one.
Don’t use it.
This has been a PSA.
Every week I try to think of a reason to keep my LinkedIn account going. They may be making it easier for me to delete it.
$0 so far today to keep Books For Soldiers going & our bills are piling up! Donate today.
Since 2003, we shipped over $30 million in care packages and aid to US troops serving overseas. That is a record and so are our bills. Every year things get more expensive – bandwidth, hosting, rent, care package items and most importantly POSTAGE!
This year sees us beginning our transition from only shipping care packages to also include helping the soldiers that have returned home. With all the work the soldiers do, they need us the most right now. We operate totally on donations and usually this is a month-to-month operation. Please help where you can.

When I was a kid, I would stare at these illustrations, these paintings, for hours. To this day, I cannot imagine how they are created.
Ditto. Love seeing his work on the covers of sci-fi novels when I was growing up.

Look, I know there’s a lot of conflict about TBBT, but this moment from last night was really lovely.
Due to prep for the Cub Scout fall campout, then the actual campout this weekend, I didn’t get around to seeing this episode until last night. It was worth the wait. Certainly the best so far this season, and because of this scene, the heartfelt love from Howard, a character who has shown so much growth when it comes to relationships with the opposite sex, has vaulted past the competition to my #2 all-time favorite Big Bang Theory episode.
Well done, writers, cast and crew.
If Congress can do whatever in their discretion can be done by money, and will promote the General Welfare, the Government is no longer a limited one, possessing enumerated powers, but an indefinite one, subject to particular exceptions.
I … place economy among the first and most important of republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared. … Taxation follows that, and in its turn wretchedness and oppression.

More Than A Feeling Scrubs Style (by Michael Teagle)
Because your Monday that is a workday when a bunch of other people are closed or are not able to work needs this in your life.
One of my favorite scenes (and favorite episodes) of the entire series.
No pecuniary consideration is more urgent, than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt: on none can delay be more injurious, or an economy of time more valuable.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our government’s reckless fiscal policies. … This rising debt is a hidden domestic enemy. … Interest payments are a significant tax on all Americans – a debt tax that Washington doesn’t want to talk about. If Washington were serious about honest tax relief in this country, we would see an effort to reduce our national debt by returning to responsible fiscal policies. … Increasing America’s debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that ‘the buck stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.
