Alright, where are my gifted kids at? You were smart and you never had to study and then you went to college and suddenly had to learn a new skillset overnight, that everybody else had years to learn, or flame out spectacularly?

That’s what talent is like.
In my experience, talent is a *detriment* to learning.

I didn't have to practice early on so I *didn't know how*. I didn't start to learn how to practice until my 30s! (When much of my life was taken up with parenting, so I didn't have time!)

I didn't start to improve as a musician until my 40s!
I'm going to say this again in case you haven't heard this one: I was a talented writer and it did *nothing whatsoever* because I hadn't put in the work, and I put in the work for ten years (subtracting the bit where I had to quit for my mental health) to write Witchmark

talent alone could *never*

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Worth noting that this response actually concedes that what Pritzker said is true.

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Mamdani: "I speak of Renee Good, whose final words to the man who murdered her were, 'I'm not mad at you.' I speak of Alex Pretti who died as he lived, caring for the stranger. ICE shot him bc he did something they could never fathom ... let us offer a new path: one of defiance through compassion."

Is Donald Trump a racist?

I don’t know was he doing anything racial?

BREAKING: James Comer is reportedly terrified because he only demanded that the Clintons testify to impress Donald Trump, but, now that the Clintons are agreeing to testify and demanding it be televised, he has no idea what they might say or how much it might incriminate Trump...

I am thrilled that GAO accepted my request to study the public health, equity, and economic impacts of RFK Jr.’s reckless decision to eliminate the universal hepatitis B birth-dose recommendation, in response to a letter I led with @repkimschrier.bsky.social & 108 House Democrats.

This is an authoritarian power grab, full stop.

Nationalizing elections would put the executive branch in control of who votes and how. That’s how dictators rig outcomes, crush opposition, and assault democratic self-government.

This should alarm everyone: www.ms.now/news/trump-s...
Trump suggests federal control of elections in ‘some areas’
In a lengthy interview with NBC, the president said he will accept the results of the midterm elections if they are “honest.”

Yes, I am thrilled with this surprise show at my front door. It’s amazing to me. Only two years getting to know dahlias. They are a firm favourite. I’m still waiting for others to flower. I guess they just arrive at different times?
