Alternatively, calling something "psychosomatic" doesn't mean it's not real.
It's almost as if the mind and body are connected (or even inseparable components of a system) and you can't affect one without affecting the other.🤔

This proves to me that we are living in overlapping but noncontiguous realities. The denizens of one of those realities consider this to be a valid and compelling portrait.

Leon: <suddenly discovers he feels just fine>
Ah, the kiddos will enjoy their new beds, and you will hopefully have recovered some by Saturday. Best wishes of the season!

The fact that the media has taken the lessons of 2020 and 2024 to be "We didn't hate Dems enough and didn't give Trump enough benefit of the doubt!" absolutely underscores just how much of Dems' 'messaging' problem simply doesn't rest with the Dems themselves.

Paris (a place I've never been), a cathedral that doesn't actually exist there (or anywhere), falling down into a whitewashed interstitial space of one of the towers with no apparent means of getting out even if I survive hitting the bottom (if there is a bottom)

And on top of all that there was the dogshit coverage of the Vice President before she was in the race & while she was in the race as her role was outright lied about at times, her economic plans went ignored, her healthcare proposals didn’t get airtime when she announced them on national tv, etc…

And Biden kept getting the heat for ending the forever war after Trump negotiated a terrible deal with the Taliban that helped collapse the Afghan government aside from him trying to invite them to Camp David around 9/11, or screwing refugees over. Plus all the “anti-war” people didn’t give a shit.

Instead of covering all of the infrastructure tours his cabinet did outside of local news & local framing, a lot of things like CHIPS & Science or lower drug costs (again, the IRA, which 0 Republicans voted for) were framed as more bipartisan than they actually were.

I think this mindset has been around for a long while, echoed in "Dilbert"-style cartoons and memes like "It's hard to soar with eagles when you work with turkeys."
Demoralizing yourself with "everything and everybody here is terrible" usefully exempts you from further responsibility.

None of the lines of work I have pursued has ever been the subject of a "save the [occupation]" campaign. Such campaigns tend to be very very selective.
I'm happy to support a social safety net. I don't feel the need to save particular occupations.

I actually have thought about it. I am an expert in certain areas, and I have worked with many other experts.
I have also lost several jobs due to technological advancements. I found other jobs.
The new tools are just that, tools. They need to be regulated against misuse, not abandoned.
