I'm just saying that one of the many ways that you can tell you're getting older, is that you now have the pharmacist on speed dial.
Another is that you actually use the term "speed dial" instead of saying "favorites".

one of the biggest problems with having political leadership that is incredibly old has nothing to do with fitness - it’s that their formative political experiences, through which they still see everything, are tremendously mismatched to the world they actually live in
the mindset that the Normative American is a “Reagan Democrat” who is pissed about hippies has had such a lock on the brains of the American political class for my whole lifetime

Imagine if Biden, Harris, Pelosi and other prominent Democrats spoke at a left-wing convention where prominent communists or violent anarchists were in attendance. Fox News would be on it 24/7
All of these people — the presidential front runner, prospective VP candidates, several prominent Republican congressmen, etc — were featured speakers at this conference and should be asked whether they condemn them or not.

If you think fertilized eggs are people but refugee kids aren’t, stop pretending you believe in hell.
On CNN, Gov. Abbot gave up the next phase of the game. They are going to pass laws that deal with parental rights for unimplanted embryos "left over" from IVF treatments (what happens upon divorce, death, etc.). Protecting IVF by granting more personhood to 5-day fertilized eggs.

The “moderate abortion compromise” was Roe v. Wade.
i think that a lot of people in political media *want to believe* that the broad public wants a "moderate abortion compromise" — defined as between what Democrats want and what Republicans want — despite the clear evidence that the broad public wants mostly-unregulated access to abortion services.
