At least in the first gilded age we got museums and railroads and hospitals. Now we get meme coins, social networks and Gofundmes.

New York Times Editor’s note: “Jimmy Carter died on Dec. 29, 2024. Roughly a year before he entered hospice care, he wrote his final New York Times Opinion essay. In it, he looked back on the Capitol riot and explained why he was so worried about American democracy.”

Some doctors say a focus on profits is hurting health care in U.S. ERs
A doctor fired after criticizing care at the ER he ran said execs are focused on the financial outcome, “and the outcome is ‘Hey, we’re making money.’”

Distance, for now, is my new answer to politics.
I no longer react.
I no longer argue.
I no longer dive into the drama.
I no longer clench at the sheer malfeasance of it all.
I simply remove my presence.
For now, it's the only thing that will keep me
from going insane.

I can’t imagine there is a single person whining right now who would not have done the same thing for their son—especially given that his or her son would have been about to be at the mercy of the new Trump DOJ. Give me a break with the melodramatics.

I highly recommend the documentary, Zurawski v Texas (now playing nationwide).
I attended a private screening and left the theater in shock. The film is as devastating as it is empowering.

Mexico's president Claudia Sheinbaum said that migrant caravans aren't reaching the Mexico-US border.
This comes a day after it was reported that illegal border crossings are at the lowest of President Biden's presidency.
Yet MAGA is giving all the credit to Donald Trump's proposed tariffs.

Just on the tariffs thing three things are true: 1) tariffs will be paid by American consumers 2) most people don’t know that yet 3) this isn’t complicated and we don’t need to act like it is impossible to get through folks. Some stuff is hard to explain . this isn’t.

The new lessons elevate Christianity over the other major world religions.
