@MaxineFaulk1 @madrid_mike What a disgusting comment. Our whole community is in despair, fear and traumatizing loss. Regular, hardworking people with families losing everything. Be kind.

This may be the longest night in the history of Los Angeles. The devastation is going to be breathtaking

@jenbegakis So painful to watch our beautiful hometown go up in flames. A tragic day.

Here is my dad's burger place, The Beachside Cafe, down the street from our home in Pacific Palisades Words cannot describe what I feel. How many times as a kid did I break a sandy tourist’s $100 for chili cheese fries and a hamburger? This is our entire neighborhood just gone, and it is not OK

RFK Jr. exposes America’s chronic disease epidemic: “We’re not feeding people, we’re poisoning them. Kids are not supposed to be sick like this. They’re not supposed to be complaining of brain fog. They’re not supposed to be on Adderall, and albuterol inhalers and insulin. That is not what children are supposed to look like, and they don’t look like that anywhere else in the world. Only here. We have the highest chronic disease rate on Earth.” “When my uncle was President, 6% of Americans had chronic disease. Today, 60% do. I hardly can meet a young person that doesn’t have an autoimmune disease, a neurological disease, reading disorder, learning disorder, ADD, ADHD, speech delay, language delay, tics, sleeping disorders, ASD, autism has gone from 1 in 10,000 in my generation—70-year old men—to 1 in 34 kids in my kids’ generation. Something’s wrong. We’re spending more just on diabetes than our entire military budget, and nobody’s saying ‘why is this happening?’ We know why it’s happening. It’s high-fructose corn syrup, and it’s glyphosate, and neonicotinoids, and atrazine, and all the other crap that’s in our food. We had 16% of the Covid deaths [worldwide] in the US. We only have 4.2% of the world’s population. We had the worst record of any country on Earth, I don’t know why people are getting awards for this, because whatever they did was wrong. CDC says ‘it’s not our fault, it wasn’t mismanagement of Covid, it’s because we have the sickest people on Earth in this country.’” Source: Austin Union debate society at the newly-founded University of Austin

The word of the day is…

The basic thesis of Buddhist philosophy is that the sufferings, the agonies of mankind—especially the psychological ones—derive almost entirely from false problems: from bothering our heads over questions that are not real questions at all.

Take five minutes to be a newcomer inside your skull. Without plans. Without regrets. Without expectations. Ask your senses a newcomer's questions. What is good here? What is nice to feel? What holds my attention? In the bright woods of this moment, rediscover something to love.

@zoeinthecities Zoe!! Wow I’m so excited.

SHE SAID. November 18th.

@parisreview @yodelnyc So proud of you @yodelnyc! I went to @parisreview homepage today and there you were!

“When I struggle to write, I shrink my expectations: two words a day,” says Yohanca Delgado (@yodelnyc). “No more, no less. The part of my brain that seeks narrative shyly re-emerges.” theparisreview.org/blog/2021/10/2…

Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. #ramdass #terrancemckenna #psychedelic ramdass.org/terence-mckenn…

@yodelnyc @carmenmmachado @parisreview Just saw your story and am so proud of you!

@Maxbunzel the original source!

You heard this here first 3 years ago

Trump spent 4 years claiming the mantle of the Founding Fathers against the statue-toppling revolutionaries only to diarrhea all over their gravestones by declaring victory before the results of a democratic election came in. His stream of feces continues; the Founders wince.

Congratulations Mr. President! ⁦@JoeBiden⁩ - one of the truly decent and moral men I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Please lead our nation bravely towards healing and bipartisanship. 🇺🇸♥️🙏🏻

@laineywill @TheWestWing_TV Elaine! I’m so happy for you. I still re-watch at least one episode a week.

Watching @TheWestWing_TV for the first time. Yes, I want to know how the Flenders voted. Yes, I am obsessed with the Butter Cow & the Butter Last Supper. Yes, EVERYONE is on this show or makes a guest appearance. And, now Lily Tomlin?! #NightOwl

I miss you.

@marwilliamson My baby was born exactly 9 months after the 2016 election. I needed a major distraction. 😂

I can’t decide if I think a lot of babies will be born nine months from tonight or if I think fewer babies than usual will be born nine months from tonight. Everyone handles stress differently 😏

Each of us can also begin to make an effort to understand someone who voted differently than us. It’s going to take all of us if we want to actually become the United States of America. I’m so ready.
