Franken’s books back in Bush II era recognized and diagnosed the problem: for decades the GOP has railed against the “liberal bias” of media so loud that people believe it’s a real thing: the original big lie. And all the networks bend backwards and distort reality to avoid appearing “partisan”.

The *most* charitable interpretation of this - wanting not to attract the ire of team Drumpf - goes out the window with that 2020 endorsement when 45 was no less unhinged. I will never understand it but it really is plain as day.

Days is one measure, but my friends who do 15-20 minutes a day get a lot more out of it than I do with my one-2min-lesson-to-keep-my-streak.

I honestly thought all their songs sounded the same when I was in high school, but they really evolved over the years, and there is more than I gave them credit for even in the early stuff. They’re my wife’s fav, and when we got together was the release of 1,000 suns, which is a beautiful ride.

Learning to be kinder to my 10-14yo self because, yeah, he didn't have the skills I spent ages 17-25 developing, imagine that.

Bingo, I'm working through a diagnosis of adult ADD among other things and a big part of that is peeling back decades of both masking and real deliberate effort to Get Better at things that were really difficult for me - like basic executive function and social interactions.
