For the nerds out there; and for those out there who may not realise quite how much important shit is held together with duct tape wielded by maybe one or two people. Well worth a gander. sheets.works/data-viz/hol...

I've had an inverse relationship with Mike Ditka for decades. If he succeeded, I failed. If I won, he lost. My dad figured it out and it became a funny kind of family lore. It was decided that whomever outlasted the other got to begin their real life on that day. Sad for him, yay for me. #ditka

Do you think today's a good day to ask Jim Bakker for my dead grandparents' PTL investment money back? Did I miss my window of opportunity? #jimbakker

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.

INSTEAD OF DEPRESSION

try calling it hibernation.
Imagine the darkness is a cave 
in which you will be nurtured 
by doing absolutely nothing.
Hibernating animals don't even dream.
It's okay if you can't imagine 
spring. Sleep through the alarm 
of the world. Name your hopelessness
 a quiet hollow, a place you go 
to heal, a den you dug, 
Sweetheart, instead 
of a grave.

One tomato!!! I caught it before it split, so here's hoping it actually tastes good. I don't know how long it takes to turn red. Patience is not my thing. But we wait. #tomato #foodsky #gardening

The first pic is the last of the slug tomatoes. I had to throw the other two in the grass. But there are four new tomatoes coming. So far coffee grounds (thank you Cafe Bustelo espresso) have kept the slugs away. There's hope for these yet! Just like all of us.

Grief is so weird. I promise you I haven't thought of Tommy John in years, but today, reading about his death hit me like bricks. My dad and I had this whole thing about TJ and his arm and then his son falling and then his other son ending up at Furman. 11 years later, grief is so weird.
