A reminder that pasteurization is the process that gently heats milk for….checks notes…15 seconds to…checks notes again…kill pathogens while retaining nutritional value and flavor.
I unequivocally condemn misogyny and toxicity against women.
I believe in redemption.
@grahamformaine opposes the war in Iran that Collins supported.
Platner supports taxing the billionaires who Collins gave breaks to.

Dave Matthews: “I will never stop calling for an end to the violence in Gaza and the West Bank and Lebanon and for that matter the Congo and Sudan and Ukraine or the horrific violence against immigrants and their neighbors in our country”
“The only thing an old man can tell a young man is that it goes fast, real fast, and if you’re not careful it’s too late. Of course, the young man will never understand this truth.”

I wonder if we never changed physically or mentally declined after we reached our prime, but still died at roughly 80 yrs, how society would reorganize itself?
Growing up, my best friend was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They were the friend who showed up, who never made anyone feel left out, who gave without keeping score. I didn't always understand every part of her faith, but I understood the goodness it grew in her.
"Taxes are what we pay for civilized society."
Democrats should stand for fairness in taxing billionaire wealth & capital.
We stand for innovative government that can deliver on housing, healthcare, childcare.

The outgoing Texas Ag Commissioner, Sid Miller, has been sounding the alarm on this issue for over a year. Instead of listening and acting, not only did Greg Abbott ignore him, he decided to throw his weight in the primary behind a newcomer with ZERO agriculture experience (but with lots of money).
When their greed and corruption reach our kitchen tables, there is only one thing left to do.
Vote. Them. All. Out.
And for REAL experience and agriculture expertise, vote IN Clayton Tucker for Texas Agriculture Commissioner.
It is going to be a long and devastating summer for Texas ranchers. It didn’t have to be this way. 💔
Just left the office and saw a handful of ppl locked in on the way out. A few leading active calls. All were big wig partners - not a single associate.
This makes sense to me, but seems to befuddle many on here. Yesterday I explained how big law is doing more work than ever in the AI era (“automate idiot!”). The chore lawyers made their objections known. I told them to consult the nearest administrative legal task. They’re barking up the wrong tree.
Deal makers are doing 10x more deals today than five years ago. Lit gods are battling thru more n more disputes. And the biggest earners with the biggest books have the biggest list.
AI tools make that list crystal clear. But top dogs still need to kiss the ring of service.
What pisses you off is that they like it💡
Do not extrapolate your normalcies onto exceptionally driven lawyers
They aren’t doing it for money - it’s merit
If you can’t relate, that’s a good thing
This summer I decided to reread "The Magic Mountain" by Thomas Mann.
More than twenty years ago I read it and, like all young people blessed with excessive confidence and insufficient biography, came away with the impression that I had understood the book.
Today I am no longer certain of that.
Which is precisely why I am going to read it again.
Because in the meantime Thomas Mann has remained Thomas Mann, while I have read several hundred more books, worn out a few philosophies, parted ways with a number of illusions, and accumulated enough life to begin suspecting that The Magic Mountain contains entire layers that simply did not exist for me back then.
Great books resemble ancient cities.
You do not see them differently because they have changed.
You see them differently because you are no longer the same person who first walked through their gates.
It will be interesting to discover what I missed.
And even more interesting to discover what has been waiting patiently for more than twenty years to finally be read.
The one thing our unconscious will not tolerate is evasion of responsibility. The unconscious pushes us into one suffering after another until we are finally willing to wake up, see that it is we who are choosing these impossible paths and take responsibility.~ Robert A. Johnson
