Completely agree. And 73-year-old me says that as someone still planting trees.
I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

On this eve of fifty Novembers
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.
the winds still howl
the bell still tolls.
My breath turns heavy
as we drift into the long cold night.
The Fitzgerald stirs beneath.
I harbor their echoes
and cradle her steel.
My waves bear the sorrow
of all I have taken.

Quick thread on timing of reopening the government, if they’re able to invoke cloture on MTP. (That’s a 60 voter, so you need 8 Dems assuming Rand Paul is still a no.)
For timing, if they invoke cloture today (assume after 6pm), that begins the 30 hours of debate. Takes us to Tuesday for MTP vote.

JD Vance's brother is losing by SIXTY points for mayor of Cincinnati.
He's getting hammered so badly I thought he was Pete Hegseth at a 10AM meeting.

Meanwhile, Mr. Cuomo was on the phone to every Democratic donor he could reach in Nassau and Westchester counties wailing about impending communism just over the city line. He couldn't find Grand Street without a motorcade or give a shit what happens to anyone actually living there.
I visited Grand Street Senior Housing on the Lower East Side today and tried a little Bomba y Plena…

Love how this asshat yells at her that she "shouldn't be here". No asshole, YOU shouldn't be there. Also love how she is ready to jump out of the vehicle and go after him. My heroine.

As first lady, Jacqueline Kennedy undertook a restoration of the White House, to show the evolving history of the people who had lived and worked there, calling the work “a question of scholarship.”
