Heartbreak is inescapable.

David Whyte on why there's no point trying to protect yourself from it:

"Love leads you to increasingly deeper and fiercer forms of heartbreak, and there is no path a human being can take without having their heart broken.

There is no protective path you could take where you will keep that imaginative organ intact. You will have your heart broken, and so you might as well have it broken over something you really care about."

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the educational job is already done. That's our honest assessment, based on many of us working in education for over three decades. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes, it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology.

Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

My heart is here for only when you need it
Pumping blood and collecting dirt
You can go ahead and keep your secrets
I’ll love you till the valves don’t work

Trying to make a difference in the lives of anyone struggling with their mental health is why I keep making music and last night you guys made a difference in a huge way. So proud of you all and of The Busyhead Project and the work I promise to continue to do.

Joe Biden announces that he’s going to ban rent increases of more than $55 nationwide. I think he means 5%, which he also can’t do, but he legit can’t read his teleprompter. Elder abuse:

Please remember that your fireworks might seem fun to you, but they could wake up the President, who has been asleep since 7pm.

[Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy]

If you were shocked by what you saw last night (as many of my centrist & Democrat friends were), ask yourself why you were shocked. Biden’s cognitive deterioration has been evident for a *very* long time: if you weren’t aware of it, or were convinced those claims were “right-wing conspiracies,” that tells you something important about the quality of the news you’re consuming & the institutions you trust.

Ask yourself whether it’s possible that those same outlets which lied to you about the mental fitness of the sitting president might have lied to you about anything else. Look into the Russia collusion hoax, the “fine people” and bleach hoaxes, the origin of COVID-19, Hunter Biden, the evidentiary basis for climate change policies or pediatric “gender-affirming care.” Seek out original sources & uncut video footage, instead of relying on the filter of mainstream media coverage.

Ask yourself this too: who is actually running this country? Do you honestly believe Joe Biden is in charge? Is the “deep state” a conspiracy theory, or is it a reality hiding in plain sight?

Last night was a sad moment for our country to see a mentally debilitated President, but it can still catalyze positive change & open minds that were previously closed. Once you see it you can’t unsee it.

For my own part, I will never fault a fellow citizen for coming to these conclusions “late.” It’s more valuable to unite around the truth than to gloat over who was right first. We’re all human, we’ve all been wrong & been misled before, but we are best off as a nation if we can openly admit it and improve in the future. We’ll have our opportunity to do that this November & beyond.

These dudes have been calling each other the worst President in history for 80 straight minutes — and neither one of them got really offended until their golf skills were questioned. Hahaha.
