The Jester plays a role, speaking truth to power through humour. I think we're in the "all bets are off" phase.

Colbert gone. Kimmel silenced. Not for lying, but for speaking the truth trump doesn't want you to hear. Mocking the regime is now a punishable offense. All to keep critics quiet. Laugh too loud, think too clearly & you vanish. This is how authoritarianism sterilizes a culture & numbs dissent.

Elul isn’t just about “going deep". Some of us live there every day - our whole existence feels like one long Elul. Teshuvah isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about returning to yourself.

Doug Ford tells young job seekers “try inheriting your daddy’s sticker factory”
QUEEN'S PARK - Ontario Premier Doug Ford is telling unemployed young job seekers to "Look harder" for label manufacturing companies that they can inherit, or failing that, a lifetime's worth of backroom conservative political connections.

if we can’t get MAHA to agree that it’s wrong to kill public health workers if they don’t have control over policy, i’m not sure what common ground we can develop because that is categorically the same ideology as fascism, which you can’t work with. i’m glad folks are trying (we need them to) but

White people are fumbling their way through this moment because it’s really hard for them to accept that this is always what this country was about. And they’re mad at Black people for still finding joy because “THE COUNTRY IS BURNING HOW ARE YOU WATCHING FOOTBALL.” Interesting dynamic.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are inherent to all people and cannot be taken away, surrendered, or sold by any person or government. Thomas Jefferson integrated these principles into the Declaration of Independence, making them a cornerstone of American governmental philosophy.

RFK Jr. told senators they were wrong and making stuff up about Americans struggling to access coronavirus vaccines. The challenges are real. We heard from more than 3,200 readers about this, and these are some of their stories. Gift link:

RFK Jr. says anyone who wants a covid shot can get one. Not these Americans.
Pharmacies and doctors are struggling to adjust to a new regulatory environment for updated coronavirus vaccines that are no longer broadly recommended.

The notion that the US has been engaged in an undeclared civil war for years is often bandied about. And now the quiet part is said out loud. Where do we go from here?

We already know this. Farmers tried to hire out-of-work Americans in the financial crisis of 2008, but they weren't up to the task.

Got my Covid and flu shots at the CVS in the grocery store, I did mark that I have a high-risk condition on my paperwork and got no invasive questions about it- I asked the pharmacist if they'd been having any trouble with insurance and he said he'd expected they might but actually none so far

Is AI sparking a cognitive revolution that will lead to mediocrity and conformity?
During the Industrial Revolution, craftsmanship retreated to the margins. As AI becomes widely adopted, will the same happen to original thinking?

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care
Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.
