I’ve cracked open 3 of the 4 new physical books so far, too. I bought one of these for a book club but the other 3 were gifts, and I’m excited about all of them for different reasons. What new books did you just get or just start reading? Do you like to read just one at a time, or multiple?

In an effort to heal from one of the hardest years of my life and to attempt to cope with the 🫲 state of everything 🫱, I’ve signed up for a workshop to feed the creative part of my brain. It’s not until February, but I’m excited about it!

To watch a “It’s a Wonderful Life” for the 50th time is to confirm that MAGA is totally bogus.
Even in 1946 nobody was rooting for Mr. Potter.

This is so unacceptable.
What this will mean, in practice, that if you are deemed an enemy of the administration, they will pore through your citizenship application paperwork looking for some reason to retroactively disqualify you.

Why should anyone believe that Pam Bondi will lead a fair review of the Warner Bros. merger when her ex-lobbying firm was hired by both Netflix and Paramount?
The merger review process under Donald Trump is already a hotbed of corruption.
AG Bondi must recuse herself now.

Self care means many things. It can mean skin care and bubble baths, but it can also mean making that ointment you need to, paying that bill, asking for help when you need it, etc.

This is the longest lasting damage, and who knows how long it will take to repair, if that will even be possible.
Precisely. As a world “leader” the U.S. is done for decades.
In a White House meeting with civil rights leaders in early 2021, President Biden recounted his first trip to Europe. Biden he announced to them, “America’s back!” The European leaders said “yeah, but for how long?”
They were skeptical.

There's arguably no effective way for any future administration to undo the strategic damage being done to the U.S.'s relations with these and other states.
No matter what we do, the U.S. will be seen as an untrustworthy, craven & mercurial "partner"—something simply to be endured or hedged.
