Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

we gotta torch the climate so that repeatedly successful Dems in swing districts can win by a larger margin
when we said “defer electoral strategy to the actual politicians running for actual offices” we meant “after calculating wins above replacement somehow”

I’m living proof that you can make videos and still very much be dicking around
i have said this before but if you are actually interested in influencing people beyond a narrow circle of too-online journalists you will be making direct to camera videos on tiktok, instagram and youtube. if you primarily post on text-based social media then you're just dicking around.

Oh hey we just did this
We traded our big 2700 sqft suburban home for a 1400 sqft townhome in a walkable and bikeable area (for roughly the same price).
We're more active, happier, and have no yard work!
PS the old house is on the urban wildland interface so our fire risk is waaaaay lower now
