Last Feb I casually posted this neck stretch on Instagram (that I thought everyone knew 🤷♀️) and it blew up in a way I couldn’t imagine. It’s now been viewed over 8 million times 🫣😬🤣 and has brought so many wonderful people into my world.
So give it a go, it’s a pretty lovely stretch. (Though it’s not actually magic, it’s just an up…
Well, we hadn’t planned it this way!
But this post about Elon turned out to be highly timely, given last night’s results in Wisconsin and today's news that Trump may kick him out of the inner circle.
Emotion regulation is not about controlling what you feel. It's about choosing how you respond.

I wrote about the increasingly pervasive feeling that PEOPLE ARE BAD AT THEIR JOBS — and the source of most of that badness.
“People are bad at their jobs is a sibling, of course, to no one wants to work anymore: the refrain of peak pandemic years. But both are deflections from what actually makes people “bad” at their jobs — or disincentivizes people to work. The truth is: the jobs are bad.”
One of the baseline questions a mental health professional asks a patient is, "Are you having homicidal, suicidal, or suspicious thoughts ?" Someone with Trump's cluster of personality disorders has those thoughts ALL THE TIME. He thinks about hurting/killing other people, buildings burning, etc. Kristol's little tongue-in-cheek exercise fails to capture the malevolence of someone with such a pathology, which is essentially untreatable. Trump is not the cloddish boor in Kristol's story but is instead a profoundly evil man. If the voters return him to power, there will be blood.
