My wife got me a fitbit. I resisted a little bit because I didn't want to have yet another device to monitor, charge, and maintain etc. I've been really surprised and impressed and how effective it has been in subtly encouraging me to make some small improvements in my habits. Not a bad deal for $100.

I am pessimistic that he is "stuck". Billions and billions and billions of dollars are rarely stuck. The demographics are changing, but not nearly enough so that a D win is inevitable. That, paired with some of the structural victories he already has achieved (redistricting, conservative supreme court) make me believe that we are going to see his legacy continue for decades on. Dark.

I would be absolutely shocked if this wasn't just smoke and mirrors marketing.

I genuinely hope so. I know that not all hope is lost, but some days the relentless march of climate change articles -- Vermont thousand year flood! Phoenix, 99 degree overnight low! is crushing.

Remember: bones are luxury teeth.

Fun fact: for my family's insurance, it is $106/mo to pay for dental. I get access to two cleanings a year, plus 50% of billed expenses up to $1000. What is even the point?

Why do you have a pet dinosaur?

I support this. While the GOP base continues to shrink and die off, the Dems are doing no favors but continuing to make a vast swath of voters feel unrepresented. I was 18 when Obama came around in his first run and I felt represented then. I don't think I've felt represented personally since then.

This is not an endorsement of the GOP. Just an echoing of the general feeling of invisibility.

It continues to baffle me that when addressing an employment gap, instead of improving working life for parents, that stepped is skipped entirely and instead we reduce barriers for the children themselves to work.
