I wrote the latest cover story for The Atlantic. It's about the far-ranging implications of one simple statistic: Americans have never spent so much time alone, and surging solitude is warping our society. I'm really proud of it, and I hope you read it. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

My resolution is to use more semi-colons. Just throw them in anywhere it feels right. It turns out that most people; besides editors and language instructors have no idea where or when they should be used.

Americans want quality health care. And they want to use their money to live — not to throw it away each month into a black hole of health insurance premiums only to be denied and delayed services when needed most.

Neelix would probably be on the Epstein flight logs but I don’t think Quark would be because his vices, although unseemly, seem to be ones he is fine advertising in public

Just in...Trump will not be delivering on his campaign promise to cut consumer costs... “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up,” Trump told Time in an hourlong interview for its “Person of the Year” feature. “You know, it’s very hard.”

Dominos are falling... Russia nor Iran nor Hezbollah are in any position to come to Assad’s aide. Putin’s war with Ukraine has drained Russian resources, and Israel has weakened Iran's proxies. The regional conditions are ripe for the wider regional conflict that the Biden administration feared.

Suffered through almost 2 hours of "Dear Santa"...wanted so much to like it. Needs about 25 mins cut out...too many repetitive and some completely unnecessary scenes. Cut the fat to an 85 min comedy and you might have something. www.imdb.com/title/tt2396...
