Very sad news - Joe Romm was a kind, wise and valiant man. May he rest in peace.
It is with tremendous sadness and sense of loss that we regretfully share the news that @PennCSSM senior research fellow, and my close personal friend Joseph Romm has passed away unexpectedly. He will be sorely missed here.

The more you help others the calmer your mind will be. You will be able to overcome misdeeds committed in relation to others. Familiarizing your mind with kindness and compassion yields peace of mind, which makes you happier and even improves your physical health.

The US government has announced it will rename the USS Doris Miller, an aircraft carrier dedicated to an African American sailor for his heroism during Pearl Harbor. The aircraft carrier will be renamed Donald Trump.
How about no. How about fuck Trump.

Concern yourselves more with the needs of others, with the needs of all humanity, and you'll have peace of mind. Selfishness creates a distance between us and other people, leading to suspicion and mistrust, ultimately resulting in loneliness. Think of others' well-being and you’ll be happy.
