My favorite bit is when she says the counselors let Jason drown because they were too busy "making love." Not just going down on each other on the bottom bunk in the Seneca cabin, *making love.* Generous, romantic, tender love. Can you begrudge them this intimacy, Pamela, truly? Search your heart!

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.

If the people behind an album can’t be bothered to invest more than a few seconds into their artwork, how dare they expect us to spend our time listening to it?

it’s incredible that dogs have figured out how to outsource their cognition to humans. they will literally stare at you and it makes you uncomfortable enough to try to figure out what they want. the dog might not even know! but you’ll start doing things for the dog until you do something they want.

In 2002, the Defense Department’s bought exclusive rights to commercial satellite images of the Afghanistan theater of war, effectively “preventing western media from seeing the effects of the bombing and eliminating the possibility of independent verification or refutation of government claims.”

Part two. This happened to us. It took a solid year of work every single day to get her manageable, then comfortable, then happy. The difference is night and day. She is emotionally regulated, has a robust social life (friends) and relaxes in most setting.

I second this and will note that, so far, training my reactive dog appears to have been harder than teaching/emotionally regulating my toddler.

(2) People do not talk enough about the fact that we have a pretty good idea of how to train dogs and there are a lot of prominent dog trainers giving advice who are just wrong. Scientifically wrong. Extremely wrong.
