#bluesky was there for me at the beginning of this madness. So grateful I found it! And not only do I find facts here, I find things I am interested in. Hiking, reading, beautiful photos, breakthroughs in science, and so many cute animals!

There is a moment at the very very end of Abdul El-Sayed's podcast with Ezra Klein (book recommendation section) where he talks about the idea of "speaking truth to pain" and this will be staying with me for an extremely long time. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/o...
But there’s also something about truth to pain. We talk a lot about truth to power, but I think it’s actually a lot harder to speak truth to pain. I say that as someone who went to medical school, realizing that in a lot of our politics right now, we’ve got to get a lot better at speaking truth to pain if we’re going to get through some of these challenges that we have.

What does “truth to pain” mean?

It’s one thing to look power in the eye and say: You’re wrong about this. But there’s a way in which pain is very difficult to reason with. Because when somebody is in their pain, they’re in their trauma. They see that pain, and they may not see what’s causing it.

I remember just very explicitly being in a trauma ward with a gunshot wound patient and watching this big guy with his hand on his gunshot wound. All the folks are trying to pull his hand off his pain, that point of his gunshot wound, this clear vulnerability.

And this emergency room doctor had the presence of mind to be like: Everyone, stop. And she looks him in the eyes, and she’s like: I get that really hurts, and I’m so sorry that you’re here. You don’t want to be here. We don’t want you to be here. But if you don’t let us fix this, you could die. So I’m going to take your hand, and I’m going to move it off, OK? Because I need to get there so that you can live.

She was speaking truth to pain. He understands he’s at the hospital, he needs care, but he also doesn’t want anybody to touch the wound. Which is a natural thing. And I think it is a really great metaphor for how we think about a lot of these challenges we talked about today.

Imagine being Eric Schmitt and writing "I DON'T CARE!" on a notepad referring to the Epstein files, and then attempting to go nuclear over an Atlanta Hawks game where you accomplish nothing more than outing Jack Smith as a Caitlin Clark fan. We are in the dumbest timeline.

“Total dirtbag” @ Eric Schmitt relies on fast-talking as cover for his gotcha moment, based on lies. He confused the ATL Hawks for the Iowa Hawkeyes, then got angry when he was busted in the hearing. Thanks Atty. Jack Smith & Sen. Klobuchar, for catching the lie & getting the truth into the record.

Tens of millions of American motorists believe there's nothing wrong with texting at a stoplight. Or driving 73 in a 60mph zone. Or changing lanes without signaling. Or rolling right on red without coming to a full stop. But somebody has to do something about cyclists who don't follow the rules.
