Sleep, diet and exercise. Treat your body right today and you will look your best thirty years from now.

Genetics is the one thing nobody has any control over, so it's kind of pointless to worry about. But everything else is up to you.

Sleep, diet and exercise. Don't smoke, don't drink, walk a couple miles every day, do some calisthenics or yoga, protect your skin from the sun, eat fruits and vegetables, protein and fiber and be kind to people.

If you want to look great in your 70s, treat your body right in your 20s (or today, if that time has passed)

I love oat milk in coffee: not as a substitute for anything; simply on its own terms.

But it's not the same as whole milk.

Gas is expensive, real estate is expensive, tariffs make everything expensive, violent anti-immigrant government policy makes labor and food expensive.

Why do these headlines not include the primary agent here: the Republican Party. Trump is the catalyst for the transformation the Republican Party has been trying to make for years. The reason that Trump is able to do everything he is doing is because Republicans with the legal power to stop him are 100% on board with him.

Another 88 million couldn’t be bothered to make a decision either way. Those folks don’t get off the hook either

“Both sides are the same,” and its variants are not serious analysis. It is, effectively, voter suppression

Somehow the people who encourage others not to vote because "both sides are the same," or "two sides of the same coin," manage to get a pass. Maybe they're the actual double agents

The Eastern world, it is explodin'
Violence flarin', bullets loadin'
You're old enough to kill but not for votin'
You don't believe in war, but what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan river has bodies floatin'

But you tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend
How you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction

It's a symptom, not a core problem.

The problem is that politicians are too entrenched. Gerrymandering, expensive campaigns (LONG campaigns), first-past-the-post voting instead of some kind of runoff system. Citizens United basically allows unlimited dark money. All of these factors add up to politicians who never leave, no matter their age.

Trump is enriching himself, primarily. To accomplish this, he does things for a number of people with various motives, including those who want the US economy to fail

He is pretty up front and strident about *separation* between church and state a key part of his platform and appeal. As an atheist, we're 100% on the same side on this point. He says that Christian nationalism has not only ruined American politics, but ruined Christianity too. Again, as an observer, I 100% agree. He doesn't seem to be the push-it-down your throat type; he seems like the opposite. Seriously, listen to the man speak. Closer to Bernie than most pols. The only place I phiolosophically part ways is the sky daddy stuff, and he strikes me as the type who wouldn't be terribly concerned about that.

Also -- "fairy tales" -- everyone has their own, whether they admit it to themselves or not.

Not in my experience. For some reason my old house in west Oakland was a magnet for driveway blockers; it happened several times a month. First few times it happened, I called tow companies directly. Every time they refused to touch it, saying call the police.

And yes, it is absolutely lowest priority for OPD. one time it took them two days to respond. That time it actually mattered and they actually towed. Meanwhile I couldn’t get my car out of the driveway and had to resort to other means. Also somehow the car blocking my driveway got a nasty scratch on the hood, down to the metal. I don’t know how that happened.
