Moral of the story: AI gleans from what's already out there. We'll know we're making pro-aging progress when AI provides less ageist responses. biz.chosun.com/en/en-scienc...

You're getting older. As you prepare for this November's elections by considering who deserves your vote, keep the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act in mind as a major issue. Which candidate will support your needs in your later years? www.healthaffairs.org/content/fore...

Just a reminder that Trump's picture on that DOJ banner is his official portrait, which was adapted from his mug shot. The irony is priceless.

An EXCELLENT summary counteracting Moyn's "greedy geezer" position. Ageism especially toward older adults permeates our economy and politics. aginginamerica.news/2026/06/25/t...

Relax, all. Trump has no power with this action, per U.S. Constitution Article I Section 7, Clause 2: "If any Bill shall not be returned by the President within ten Days (Sundays excepted) after it shall have been presented to him, the Same shall be a Law, in like Manner as if he had signed it..."

A terrific NPR piece by @amilnetyte.bsky.social that highlights an ever-growing need and includes insights from @jason4care.bsky.social and Navigating Soli's Ailene Gerhardt, BCPA, CSA. www.npr.org/2026/06/21/n...

@nytimes.com Ethicist gets close to the mark but, alas, misses it. He addresses the unkindness of the act but doesn't call out its ageist prejudice. Research reveals that ageism can begin to take hold in children as young as 3, and adults should never encourage it. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/m...

This impactful webinar proposes a strategy for explaining to others the importance of defeating fascism this election season and then making needed significant changes to our government. Feel free to share it with others! www.frameworksinstitute.org/events/a-nar...

Newest Pantone Color: Reflecting Pool Green?

I would have never predicted that our country would get to a point of such crassness, cruelty, and moral decay that simply hearing words of decency and love coming from patriotic public servants would be painfully nostalgic and hard to bear. May those days of decency return pretty damn soon!

When no one one wants to play with your kid during recess.

This essay should be included in every high school American history textbook.

On this day, June 14, was born someone who deserves greater national recognition, given our focus on this Administration. I'm referring, of course, to Alois Alzheimer, psychiatrist and neurologist who identified the first case of "presenile dementia."

A Real President, Not A Poseur.

Obama Appreciation Day June 14, 2026

Actually, let's make that annual tax 10% and save Social Security.

No doubt about it: Trump can honestly declare that his crowd in front of the Kennedy Center is certainly a helluva lot larger than any crowd Obama ever drew in front of the Kennedy Center.

Quick idea: After workers remove all the Trump-related letters from the Kennedy Center, those letters should be auctioned off and the proceeds given to the Kennedy Center for its rehab work.

@marcelias.bsky.social : Can you please explain why a judge has said that the White House gladiator match can continue, when Trump is making money from the event, which violates the Domestic Emoluments Clause of the Constitution???

"This brief synthesizes evidence about the impact of ageism in health care on the use, quality, and costs of care, and explains the pathways through which ageism contributes to adverse health outcomes for older adults." An EXCELLENT overview. www.healthaffairs.org/content/brie...

"People raised in the 1950s and 1960s did not develop them because they were extraordinary; they developed them because daily life demanded them." An interesting article. What skills would similar articles contain for other cohorts? m.economictimes.com/news/interna...

I'm really loving this guy. What a sane, compassionate response to a cruel, craven, clueless President.

WWJD has a new meaning. It's getting easier to tell the real Christians from the fake ones. Real Christians opt for water and wine. Fake Christians create their own religious version of Kool-Aid... cc: @johnfugelsang.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/business/202...

I had the total privilege and pleasure of attending @johnfugelsang.bsky.social's lecture: a phenomenal evening of brilliant wit, rhetorical passion and, especially, moral compassion. Read his book and listen to his podcast. You will learn and laugh as you expand your horizons!

For anyone wanting to better understand the double-whammy of sexism and ageism experienced by older women, here's a GREAT primer. thenoosphere.substack.com/p/the-women-...

I don't personally know any progressive multimillionaires or billionaires. If YOU do, in the name of the 1st Amendment, PLEASE ask them to finance a new 60-Minutes-type program and hire all of the people that CBS dumped.

How might we “travel” into our later years? Luckily, I had a great role model who taught me the answer. You'll see what I mean in this latest post for my Ageful Living blog. www.jeanetteleardi.com/post/the-cas...

Jimmy Fallon just used every NBA team nickname in a short monologue about Traitor Trump, and it's the best thing I've seen on the internet today. As a hoops fan, this Mouthy Renegade Writer approves. And GO SPURS! 🏀

"A new sleep study, published in the journal Nature on May 13, finds for those in middle age and older, the 'sweet spot' is somewhere between 6.4 and 7.8 hours." www.fastcompany.com/91550161/sle...

So, here's an idea: How about some progressive billionaire setting up a network to air a 60 Minutes-type show hosted by Scott Pelli, Anderson Cooper, Sharyn Alfonsi, Cecilia Vega, and all of the fired producers, staff, etc. who are gone or will soon be gone when 60 Minutes bites the dust?

@merkley.senate.gov @wyden.senate.gov @repbonamici.bsky.social @tinakotek.bsky.social @mayorkwilson.bsky.social I am greatly disturbed at the prospect of DHS pulling Customs officers from Portland's airport, per this article: www.forbes.com/sites/suzann.... What are you planning to do about this?
