Finding balance in routine and falling into the steps of adulthood is tricky! I share a chunk of my experience here in my new post.

BREAKING

Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading?

IT'S HAPPENING.

James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but EVERY FUCKING RETAILER needs to show the tariffs next to the price -- not just Amazon.

Walmart, Target (where I do not shop), ALL OF THEM. It's a fucking tax, why shouldn't we see it?

I want to know exactly how much trump's tariffs are jacking my prices up. DON'T YOU?

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

VERY unpopular opinion:

Humans were never meant to be this busy that’s why everybody is anxious and depressed.

Educate yourself.

When a question about a certain topic pops up, google it. Watch movies and documentaries. When something sparks your interest, read about it.

Read, read, read.

Study, learn, and stimulate your brain.

Don't just rely on the school system; educate your beautiful mind.

I refuse to be the kind of person who loses their mind over a delayed train or lets a spilled coffee set the tone for the whole day.

I want to be the one who stays composed, who sees the good even when things don’t go as planned. The kind of person who breathes through the little chaos and still finds beauty in how the day unfolds.

I want to be soft. I want to be steady.

I'm not concerned about the undocumented immigrant with some parking and speeding tickets. I'm concerned about the American citizen with 34 felony convictions who is driving America right into a fucking ditch.

I read this same article at TPM in the Editor's Blog. Nearly word for word.

Check out Just Security, WaPo. Guess you need to widen your reading horizons

a bit. I don't mean that as an

insult, just as a idea for future

reference.

I just thought the phrases tracked too similarly, too many of them. I know the same story is covered in many places, just go compare the two and see if you agree.

Sure. TC needs to show attribution and quotes on

some of his "included" remarks. That should clear

clearup anyone's puzzling.👍

An absolutely riveting onion this is. A bite-sized history morsel, academia and her barriers of entry, the internet (read with terror), asking: when is the discourse over? Never.

The death of the public intellectual
Ash's avatar

So so much was unpacked here,,, tirelessly running towards efficiency and optimization for decades that we eventually find ourselves craving the chase and suffering of collecting and digesting instead of just the prized end product itself. We’ll embrace the analog methods until we get bored or frustrated and once again seek ways to fast-track our experience, and the cycle will. always. repeat.

Why do we crave useless knowledge?
