Totally. My kid has lived in Houston, with its free-for-all zoning laws, and Pittsburgh, where things aren’t super expensive. Houston is a bit of a hellscape, but not a hellscape of nothing but Banana Republic and Starbucks. People can open up a little restaurant and make a go of it.

How ‘bout rosuvastatin? And is it used for people who already have Covid like Paxlovid is?

It used to be the one reliable path to a decent career for English/history majors. It probably still retains some of that aura, even though the industry is trash and has been for the last 20 years.

100% agree! When we drive up the East Coast, my friend will always ask, “how did you get through the (NY) city?” I literally have no idea. It just streams into my eyeballs and flows out my ears. We finally got a road Atlas after reminiscing for many years about the LA Thomas guide.

Yeah, my framing of life over the last hundred years has shifted from that “arc of history bends towards justice” horseshit (apparently) to “some people will always just really like that Nazi shit.” The struggle will need to be recapitulated and reconsolidated with every generation.

In his 2nd Inaugural, Abraham Lincoln delivered what might be the most devastating rebuttal to the Both Sides lie in history. "Both parties deprecated war but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came."

Don’t worry. Don Sr. would never abide anyone, including his own son, encroaching on his territory.

I’d love to hear everyone’s favorite alternatives! I def have nostalgia for the phenomenon (had an elementary age kid), but there’s no reason to inflict the books on a new generation.

We cannot allow our country’s history to be erased by this administration by a thousand little cuts. Black history is American history, and it must be protected and preserved for generations to come. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Wait – so liberals were and are, in fact, right, but in the wrong way, so we’re still wrong. Do I have that right?

Slapping a mask on your gob—something that’s equally available to the sedentary regulars—to preserve your chances in such a high-stakes environment is probably the least extreme thing they’ve done on their road to Olympic competition.

I think it’s that we under appreciate how much our humanity is shaped by having our worst impulses sanded off by other people. When everyone you encounter is a sycophantic yes-man, your essential humanness goes off the rails. But no worries! Chat bots are groveling sycophants for the rest of us!👍yay

Insisting on beauty and the creative act is resistance on the soul level. You are also cultivating your reserves, which you can draw on when you must.

Many years ago, I was admiring the healthy plants in a healer’s treatment space. I asked her how she did it. Turns out it wasn’t her magical healing powers—she just chucked them and got a new one if they started to fade.
