Chronically chill elder millennial. Mostly TV and politics.
Chatting with my little phlebotomist tech while she was taking my blood & she asked what my plans were for the weekend. I said, oh, just relaxing, what are you up to? And she said, actually I’m going to a rave. So I offered back, lol, I’m seeing my eye doctor tomorrow? Middle age hits hard, y’all💀

I called my dad today for Father’s Day. He talked for 2 hours straight. Here are some of the very earnest highlights. Overall, I think I got pretty lucky in the dad department.

Speaker Hortman was a bold and brave leader who made hard decisions and fought for the people of Minnesota every single day.
She and her husband Mark did not deserve to die. My heart goes out to their children.

Really good note on how we use our words why it matters. I'm sure I'm guilty of sharing some of these. (And it makes clear why BTC and Meidas use words like "spiraling", "panic", "crash", "meltdown" and "humiliation" alongside "Trump" and "Musk")
