“Life really does begin at forty. Up until then, you are just doing research.”
- Carl Jung
Jung viewed life as having a psychological “morning” and “afternoon,” with the transition into middle age beginning roughly between 35 and 40.
In his 1930 essay The Stages of Life, Jung argued that the first half of adulthood is largely focused on establishing yourself in the outside world: building a career, relationships, a family, and a social identity. Around midlife, he believed these goals could become less psychologically fulfilling, prompting a growing shift inward toward meaning, self-understanding, and what he called individuation.
Jung famously described this transition as entering the “afternoon of life.” He warned that people often entered this stage carrying the same ambitions and assumptions that had guided them in their youth, even though the second half of life demanded a different set of psychological tasks.
This is EUGENICS. It is actual apartheid.
This is ancient, century-old policy designed to categorize kids and limit them to physical labor. It is a pre-cursor to a racially stratified, feudalist society where elites get educated and undesirables are kept in the dark.
NO.
This is outrageous. A free press cannot function under constant threats and retaliation from the government.
Reporters must be free to hold those in power accountable — without fear of retribution.
The assault on the free press must end!
Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes – not the Pentagon, not any administration, and not any policy maker.
“To burn with desire and keep quiet about it is the greatest punishment we can bring on ourselves.”
- Federico García Lorca
Federico García Lorca (1898–1936) was one of Spain’s most influential poets and playwrights and a central figure of the Generation of ’27.
Born near Granada, Lorca drew deeply from Andalusian culture, folk music, flamenco, and Spanish literary traditions, blending them with surrealism and vivid, often haunting imagery. His work explored love, desire, loneliness, repression, freedom, and the feeling of being trapped by society. After the Spanish Civil War began in 1936, Lorca was arrested and executed near Granada at just 38 years old. The exact location of his remains has never been conclusively determined.

Pete Townshend wrote the title anthem Who Are You after a long night of drinking in London with Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook. After waking up drunk and disoriented in a Soho doorway, a passing London police officer recognized him and told him to go home if he could stand up. Townshend channeled the exact encounter and the chorus line directly into the lyrics.

Jon Ossoff completely let loose on Trump. Holy cow.
"While the sailors on the Lincoln fight his war, draining our munitions, he sleeps through meetings, golfs, and trades stocks.
He doesn't want to do the job. He wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie on their apparently defenseless flying palace, gifted by the emir of Qatar."
SOUND ON! 🔥
The corruption is endless and staggering, with new examples every day. I continue to post all of it, day after day, and hope at some point enough voters care about it to make a difference against Republicans who refuse to do any oversight.

WE MUST ADDRESS THE CLIMATE CRISIS
The last 11 years have been the hottest 11 years on record. The last three years have been the hottest three years on record. 2026 will be one of the warmest years on record, and most scientists believe 2027 will be the warmest year in recorded history.
This past year, Europe has seen four major heat waves, including the continent’s worst heat wave ever that killed more than 10,000 people. In the United States, three extreme heat waves exposed hundreds of millions of people to dangerous levels of heat. Drought is causing some of the lowest water levels ever seen for reservoirs along the Colorado River, threatening the drinking water of 40 million people. Puerto Ricans are being forced to ration water because of extreme drought. In Europe, some of the continent’s dryest conditions have caused major rivers to run so low that ships are running aground, nuclear power plants are shutting down, and historical artifacts that were previously submerged are being revealed. South Korea is in the midst of a record heat wave — with temperatures reaching 108.5° Fahrenheit, the highest temperature in the country’s history. China, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan are all experiencing torrential rain and flooding.
As a result of rising heat levels, we are seeing massive wildfires across the world, including Oregon’s worst wildfire season and fires in Washington state that have forced nearly 65,000 families to evacuate. Europe, France and Spain are experiencing destructive wildfire seasons that have forced more than 330,000 people to evacuate their homes. Portugal, Greece, Italy, Albania, Turkey, Canada, Morocco and Algeria are also experiencing destructive wildfire seasons.
This summer alone,Alaska, Louisiana, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and West Virginia have all seen record rainfall events. We’ve seen 1,000-year floods in Texas, Missouri and New York. Once rare, dangerous flash flooding emergencies are now a regular part of summer for tens of millions of Americans.
One might think that, in the midst of all of this, there would be major discussions in Congress as to how best to go forward in addressing this existential crisis. Not the case. Insanely, the president of the United States continues to believe that climate change is a “hoax,” and Republican members of Congress are following their “Great Leader” over the cliff. Sadly, too many Democrats think that speaking out on climate change is “bad politics” and have remained far too silent.
That has got to change. The simple truth is that we must forcefully take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry and the stupidity of Trump.
The simple truth is that we can create millions of good-paying union jobs transforming our energy systems away from fossil fuels and into energy efficiency and sustainable energy.
For the sake of our kids, future generations and the habitability of the planet,that is exactly what we must do.
