BFP now under 16% (from ~40% about 10 years ago). Abdominal fat index went from 12 to 7 on the Hume scale over the last 6 months. Credit to consistent weight training/ cardio (5 days/wk), daily T, healthier diet choices, Trulicity for T2DM and now, Mounjaro. Frisky at 63 and loving it :-)

The entire scene looks like Norman Rockwell painted The Death of Empathy, directed by Jeffrey Dahmer and executive produced by Satan. Hang this next to The Scream and the painting would lean over and whisper, Is that guy okay.

Even though New York, Washington, Colorado, and Maryland can’t redistrict in time for 2026 — they need to be laying the groundwork to draw new maps for ‘28.
SCOTUS could give the GOP up to 19 new seats by striking down the VRA. We can’t be caught off guard. We need to be ready to cancel them out.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The average American simply has no idea how quickly the infrastructure that keeps us safe and healthy is collapsing. These systems run in the background thanks to government employees who quietly do critical work. Those employees are being purged and systems are being destroyed.

(5/5) There IS a wiki page for narcissistic mortification (surprised me) and here's a sentence worth echoing here: Narcissistic Mortification is "the primitive terror of self-dissolution, triggered by the sudden exposure of one's sense of a defective self - to a narcissist, death by embarrassment."
