Crisis of the Common Good
[I]n a polarized, siloed media environment, there’s all the more reason to have dissenting voices inside the tent than outside. If alignment on economic power brings more socially conservative voters into the Democratic fold, we have a better chance to pull them out of the Fox News echo chamber, challenge their biases, and win them over. Keeping them out gives progressives almost no chance to persuade them.
CRISIS OF THE COMMON GOOD
Less a sequel than an addendum, the book offers a close-up view of the Oval Office in its darkest hour. Four decades after Watergate shook America, journalist Woodward (The Price of Politics, 2012, etc.) returns to the scandal to profile Alexander Butterfield, the Richard Nixon aide who revealed the existence of the Oval Office tapes and effectively toppled the presidency. Of all the candidates to work in the White House, Butterfield was a bizarre choice.

Video: Bird “The Boy And The Swan” - it’s like that when you hurt someone
Here’s the visually inventive video for ‘The Boy And The Swan’ from half Irish, half English multi-instrumentalist Bird, also-known-as Janie Price. Bird’s string arrangement and lush production give the song a cinematic feel and reinforce the sense of mythic storytelling. With outstanding make-up and costumes, the video brings the song’s metaphors and symbols vividly to life.
“Did you wear all black?” “You can’t even understand the words.” “So you just punch each other at these concerts?” There’s a subtle irritation that comes from being immersed in a community of shared meaning— centered around an art form that names something true about your experience—only to be met with confusion or judgment by people who just don’t get it.

Book Review: The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton

You Are Probably Car-Brained…But What Does That Mean?
If you don’t regularly engage in hyper-niche urban transit-oriented arguments on Twitter, you likely have never heard the term “car-brained.” Yet, if you are from the United States, you probably suffer from this condition. So, what exactly does it mean and where did it come from? According to Urban Dictionary, car brain is a “Derogatory term for vehicle drivers, whose cognitive functions have been impaired by the act of driving.

Improving your credit score can help save you money by lowering the interest rate you pay on your loans and credit cards. Your credit score is your own personal credit rating, showing lenders your creditworthiness. This article contains some of the benefits of boosting your credit score and how much a bad credit score can cost you.
What the Fed Rate Cuts in 2024 Mean for Your Finances
Lower Rates, Cheaper Debt, but Will You Have a Job? The Fed finally relented and signaled they’ll cut interest rates in 2024 and beyond. The stock markets are rallying as borrowing costs may lower for a car, home, and your credit card. Here’s how lower rates and the economy may impact your finances in 2024. Although inflation needed to be tamed from over 9.1% in 2022, I think we can all agree that we’re tired of high loan and mortgage rates, as well as crushingly high credit card interest rates.

Looking for Clarity on Stillpoint Process
The following is an abbreviated version of a letter that was sent to the Martha’s Vineyard Commission. Thomas Bena’s Stillpoint project has been on my mind a lot. Thomas is a friend and what happens to him is important to me. Several years ago he came to me to talk about a project he had in mind.
My Trip to the Southwest Border & Why We Need Bipartisan Immigration Reform
Two weeks ago, I spent two days in Texas and Arizona, joining a group of Republican and Democratic Senators to review conditions at our nation’s southern border.

Let’s jump right in “I’m Pro Metaverse” There is great potential to harmonize the online and offline worlds and bring the experience to the next next level.
Is freedom enslaving us?
This is about social media and the internet. Here me out. Social media is free, right? There are no subscriptions, one-time payments, or anything like that. Great! But what if I told you it’s the furthest thing from free? That would be weird and wouldn’t make much sense… When’s the last time you stopped to say to yourself — why do I think this or that? Why? “I don’t pay for social media I can’t believe it’s free.” True, you are not paying for the platform yourself.
Dance.
It’s a way to tell stories, conveys emotions, and connect with others. From the graceful movements of ballet to the energetic thrusts of disco. It transcends language by bringing people together in a shared movement and music experience. The dance of life is how we move through our experiences and navigate the ups and downs of existence. It can be beautiful and graceful and challenging and full of suffering. There are moments of synchronicity, moments of chaos, moments of joy, and moments of sorrow.
Hey YOU, yeahh you. It’s time.. For fuck sakes go explore.
“It doesn’t matter what. Explore your mind, the world, the people and animals, the fabrics of reality, or all of the above. Your clock has been counting down since birth. The 22 years I’ve been alive are as good as dead. I can’t get them back, sadly. Neither can you. You’re dead — time just hasn’t caught up yet. So stop putting hardships, people, and experiences off and EXPLORE. Fuck sake.” Now, let’s take it down a few notches. Life is a Book.
Dare.
Dare to be brave and follow your heart. Dare to go against the grain and be a courageous individual. Dare to take the leap of faith, even if you never know the outcome. Dare to explore the unknown and discover something new. Dare to keep trying, even when things seem impossible. Dare to live life to the fullest. Dare to be a leader and show others the way. Dare to make a difference, no matter how small. Dare to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries.
Tyranny is ignored or welcomed
Tyranny is ignored or welcomed. People may not want to acknowledge the existence of tyranny or may not wish to accept the pain and outrage that comes with it. It could be that most people simply do not care or are distracted by superficial pleasures or life’s responsibilities. Tyranny refers to the oppressive and unjust rule or control by an individual or group, often through the use of force or intimidation.
Screens
Screens play a central role in our lives, shaping our experiences, replacing jobs, influencing how we interact with others, and even shaping our perceptions of the world. I was at the grocery store the other day, and what made me stop to think was all the self-checkout touchscreen displays where cashiers would typically be. As someone who loves technology, innovation, and automation, I am aware that these touchscreens will continue to replace humans, but it's still dazzling to me.
Blink and You Might Just Miss it.

Florida Board of Medicine Advances Ban on Transition-Related Care for Minors
In a controversial and at times bewildering hearing Friday morning, a joint committee of the Florida Boards of Medicine and Osteopathic Medicine voted in favor of a proposed rule banning puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgery for transgender minors.

The hearing then ended in confusion among the committee and onlookers, as committee chair Dr. Zachariah P.
Cakes Da Killa On His Intimate New Album ’Svengali’
On first listen of Cakes da Killa’s new album Svengali, one might be tempted to assume that its subdued, jazz-influenced sound represents a sudden step away from the artist’s roots. After all, the 30-minute project is vastly different from the energetic, exuberantly horny dance-infused tracks for which the rapper, born Rashard Bradshaw, has become known.

How To Live "The Good Life"
Ah, yes, the good life. We've all heard about it, dreamt about it, and some live it now. But what exactly does it entail? What does it look like? How does it feel? Aristotle on Happiness An ancient Greek philosopher named Aristotle suggested that happy individuals possess distinct virtues, and society should better identify what they are to nurture them in ourselves and honor them in others.
Buddhist Cosmology
In Buddhist cosmology, hungry ghosts refer to the human mind being tormented by desires that are never filled. The hungry ghosts are depicted as monster-like creatures with scrawny little necks, huge bellies, and tired, desperate-looking eyes, doomed by starvation and seeking external stimuli to soothe their endless hunger - a hunger for more. What Comes to Mind When you Think of a Hungry Ghost?

This post originally appeared in Vanity Fair. Kim Petras is one powerful pop star.

Why the World Needs Bitcoin
Bitcoin (BTC) has certainly allowed more 17-year-olds to purchase Lambos than any other technology in the history of the world. But you're probably wondering: What if every millionaire on Earth decided to buy one Bitcoin (e.i., invest $20,000)? The number of millionaires on Earth is 62.5 million. The number of Bitcoin ever available is 21 million. If 33% of the millionaires on Earth (20,625,000) decide to buy Bitcoin, say goodbye to the supply.
The ONE thing we all Desperately Crave.. and Need
People can experience freedom in various ways. Some may feel liberated by choosing how they want to spend their day or their line of work. However, others might consider it as being able to buy anything in the world without worrying about money. There are so many rules and restrictions that dictate our behaviors and enforce what we should desire. Many of our dreams have died because we did not fight for them. One of the core principles of freedom is choice.

Calling All Ponderers of the Universe
Comprehend the scale of the Universe. You can't. Try to think about yourself in the Universe. Good luck. To make it worse, think about everything happening on Earth - jobs, Government, relationships, wars, personal struggle. We don't have the time to think about our place in the Universe.
Bogotá + Mexico City + Tabasco
Each time I take a major trip abroad in my role as a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, I write a behind-the-scenes summary of my trip to share with my supporters and followers. It's a selfish exercise because the act of putting my thoughts about the trip into writing helps crystallize the important takeaways. Last week, I led a trip to Colombia and Mexico with two House members, Representative Jesús "Chuy" García from Chicago and Representative Cori Bush from St. Louis.

“Our Wives Under the Sea” Is Dripping With Lesbian Drama
I think it’s intentional, yes. I think that like a lot of the time as writers, you’re aware of the metaphor you are doing without having set out to do the metaphor. Do you know what I mean? You know when you were at school and you were like, “God, do these writers mean to do all these things that you are being told they were doing?” It’s like, “No, they didn’t at all.” But metaphors become kind of obvious to you after a while. It’s funny.
