Happiness was once understood as a communal project tied to justice and shared flourishing, our Ethicist columnist writes, but over time, it evolved into something individual and small.
Our Idea of Happiness Has Gotten Shallow. Here’s How to Deepen It.
We used to have a very different understanding of what it means to live well.

Three years I ago I thought a Labor majority meant serious progressive reform.
This morning I think a Labor majority means another three years of minimalist government.
Sure hope I’m wrong.

It Was Never About Hostages. It Was Never About Hamas.

There is absolutely no excuse for continuing to babble about hostages and Hamas after the US and Israel said the goal is the complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza. They told you what this is really about.

Could you imagine if the head of the United States healthcare system didn’t believe that HIV caused AIDS?

…And that instead they believed that AIDS is caused by recreational drugs (“poppers”) used by gay people?

Oh wait…🥴

#motorcycle travelers: coming to the USA? Do not say if you have a YouTube channel unless you are asked. Do not say that you're a social media influencer nor that you use your online activities to make money. Say you're a tourist on vacation. To say otherwise is to risk imprisonment. Not kidding.

Democrats are providing Senate votes that empower Trump, advancing state legislation to shield CEOs & enrich Elon Musk, amplifying MAGA voices on a governor's new podcast & resurrecting loathed supervillains like Rahm Emanuel & Andrew Cuomo.

Now polls show the Dem Party is historically unpopular.

They’re giving Trump congressional votes, helping MAGA in blue states, and resurrecting their unpopular has-beens. Polls show America hates it.

Terminated Forest Ranger Kricket Olin has nearly 20 years’ experience w/ the Forest Service.

Olin warns terminating field-going employees creates a disconnect:

“They just lost the connection between the head and the feet of the Forest Service.“

Just 1 ranger left to patrol Ouray Ranger District.
Forest Service ranger Kricket Olin was fired from her position in the mass layoffs last month via a form letter saying it was due to poor performance.

Her firing leaves the high-alpine areas of the forest in Ouray County with fewer resources to patrol for safety and environmental purposes.

Social Security is a lifeline for millions of seniors. Mistakes like this mean people can’t buy groceries or pay the electricity bill.

Elon Musk and DOGE need to stop playing political games with taxpayers’ Social Security checks.

#Renationalise water now!
Thames Water has been given a £3 billion bailout, paid for by you and me.

Why should households have to pay for the mess that Thames Water got itself into, just so execs and shareholders can protect their profits?

There is a better solution: take water into public ownership.
