Still Dancing at 100: Lessons from Dick Van Dyke

His secret isn’t denial of age or brute discipline, but a lifelong insistence on joy, play, and self-mockery.

What choice did he have? Not being snarky here to any of you, but you all seem unable to believe that Trump lost a major political battle, and now he's going to just do what he always does: Ad hoc it all, and hope he can bully his way through it.
So, what rationale would Trump have for "supporting" release of the files if he could be implicated?

Howard Hughes once bought entire hotels so no one could tell him “no.”
Elon Musk bought an entire social network for the same reason.
Different century, same tragedy.

Elon Musk reminds me of Howard Hughes — men whose wealth freed them from every limit but left them trapped in their own obsessions. When no one can say no, wealth can become a curse.

Howard Hughes bought hotels to hide from the world. Elon Musk bought Twitter to remake it in his image. Both mistook control for freedom.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

Trump's immigration crackdown is hurting U.S. farming, which depends heavily on immigrant workers. Growers are experiencing labor shortages, harvest delays and raising food costs. Over 70% of farmworkers are immigrants, crucial for sowing and reaping.
