Could also be that she's looking for a chance to say "I'm speaking" again.

I dunno, these debates scare me. Harris/Walz is surging right now, and Trump/Vance is tanking: this gives Trump/Vance a chance to inject their brand of FUD by throwing shit against the wall and seeing if anything sticks.

For example, I suspect Vance is going to try and nail Walz with Walz's 1995 DUI. That'll be a hard one for him to talk his way out of, it's ugly and then later his campaign lied about it.

Dear Young Folk,

Physical aging happens ridiculously fast. Faster than you imagine. The years just tick away like minutes.

Mental aging goes much slower (barring dementia or other malidies, of course).

The crazy thing is that even once older (I'll turn 60 this year) your view of yourself quite often feels like you're still much younger.

I internally feel perpetually 30-35. Until I try to (say) run or sprint, or jump off something, then... oh my. I really am 60. Another example: my brain knows how to throw a fast ball (ingrained from when I was a teenager). If I actually try... uhh.. no go. My arm revolts.

I've even asked my 83 year old mom how her internal self feels. She says the same - still feels like she did in her 30s on the inside. On the outside she has to intentionally walk very carefully so as not to fall and break something.

Moral of the story? Enjoy that young body while you have it. Seriously. It won't last.

A legend. We're missing a legend.

I don't really mind...

Maybe I'm the only one, but I wasn't enamored by his take on Max. Fury Road is an absolutely fantastic movie and is easily in my top-10 right now, but I credit that much more to George Miller, Charlize, and Nicholas Hoult. Max seemed like almost an afterthought.

No one is. Not the American public, not anyone on the planet. Not even Trump (since he makes shit up as he goes). There is no plan. It'll just be mass insanity, driven by an insane egomaniac.

I spent a chunk of this afternoon nuking my old reddit posts. Thousands and thousands of posts... thank goodness for shreddit.

And the article has no audio! Ugh... even the embedded video is just text.

Many reasons, including deciding that Trans folks are delusional and fake and taking up more than their fair share of attention. But at the core of it I suspect that it's a desire to stay relevant and make money in the media world, and the easiest way to do that is to buddy up to the far right assholes of the world. Just a guess though.

Good article on it here:
