My inlaws were supposed to drive to Philadelphia from Boston on Sunday.
For reasons entirely within their control, they're going today.

This is innumerate nonsense. An average of 1.1 million people were watching The Simpsons throughout its entire thirty-minute broadcast according to a third-party data company contracted to measure viewership by Disney. Somebody, no way to know who, hit the play button 1.7 million times on Twitter

"...the president is eyeing removing Patel and is considering top FBI official Andrew Bailey as the bureau’s new director..."
Trump can install Bailey as acting FBI director without Senate confirmation after Dec 15, when he will have served 90 days in his position.
(I hoped Hegseth would go first.)

President Trump may have had enough of Kash Patel, according to sources
The president is weighing whether to oust the FBI director after scrutiny of Patel's stewardship of bureau resources, including his girlfriend’s security detail and use of a government jet.

now instead of occasionally driving by shacks we drive by mansions with helipads.
People feel less wealthy now than people in the 1950s/1960s did because the material conditions of you and the people around you is roughly on par, unlike the 50s/60s when a twenty minute drive out of town might return you to the 19th Century if not further back.

Well the young women will be running most things soon so hopefully this wont matter
Isolationism (yes, 'America First' ideology) is rising in gen z men, but not just amongst gen z conservatives, per @ymriofficial.bsky.social.
I've heard this over and over in my listening sessions: 'America has enough issues at home. Why focus on problems abroad?'
It's a generational shift.
