We all live with some level of grief; lord knows there's enough to go around.
But sometimes we need to offer ourselves a little grace alongside the grief.

If you have tenure at Texas A&M and aren't maliciously emailing the president a dozen times every day to ask if you can say this or you can say that, then what's the point in having tenure?

Two hours a night: Japan PM’s sleep schedule prompts concerns about work-life balance
Takaichi caused a stir last week after she summoned aides to her office for a 3am meeting to prepare for a budget committee hearing
Japan’s prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, has said she gets by on just two to four hours sleep a night – prompting concern over her commitment to a better work-life balance among the country’s fatigued employees.
Pointing to the bags beneath her eyes, Takaichi told MPs that she survives on minimal sleep – a habit she shares with her political hero Margaret Thatcher – after being asked how she would tackle Japan’s notoriously long working hours. Continue reading...

rental rates are about 1/3 of the population. that's a lot of people! (and of course concentrated among young/lower income people)

So before I mute this guy allow me to point out this is completely dumb shit.
I have been to 44 states. People are worried about rent all over the country. This is happening in cities big and small.
Those trying to buy are also worried about costs.

This is real urban liberal brain. Rent is very high in liberal cities but the vast majority of all American voters have fixed rated of mortgages or own outright. With renting even less common in swing states.

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

feels relevant today
we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him
I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

What if he comes back and looks completely different than he did before. Did they ever try that in a Bond movie
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”
Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:
“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."
