The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants. Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare. (🎥 Al Jazeera)

I wonder how a human being finds themselves in that chair in front of the watching world in a moment of such gravity, so completely bereft of empathy, so seemingly unencumbered by other people’s suffering, and so strident in the face of accountability... johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dear-pam-b...

Elon Musk's net worth just hit $800 billion. How? One of his corporations acquired another one of his corporations. Meanwhile, Elon's companies pay next to nothing in federal income taxes and get billions of dollars in government contracts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Almost done with my 1st draft of my novella, "The Grave Eater." It's been a while since I've written. Surprised, pleased, and grateful that my backlog has sales. My publisher sent a royalty for my 1st novel out a few years ago, "The Raven's Daughter." Someone is still buying my books! I'm chuffed.

'Vacations.' The word is 'vacations.'

FAST COMPANY Article: 

While retirement typically occurs, after
completing a career and saving and investing for it, a new trend is emerging among Gen Z career professionals
called "micro-retirement." Micro-
retirements involve taking a one to two- week break from work every 12 to 18 months.
Gen Z is using micro-retirement to avoid burnout, find greater fulfillment in their work, and enhance their overall well-being. However, it's not just Gen-Z:

“Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Catholic Bishops Are 'Controlled by Satan' During Social Media Meltdown” My Catholicism may be lapsed, but MTG’s blatant Anti-Catholic rhetoric is starting to piss me off. She’s been trash talking Pope Francis, since his death, too. 🧐 MTG is. . . Disgusting.

Trump keeps spreading lies about Social Security. What he isn't telling you is that he's actively trying to dismantle it — firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering regional offices. Why? To pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.
