The most important fight of my life isn’t in the ring.
I’m not fighting for a belt. I’m fighting for our health.
Processed foods are killing us. We have been lied to and we need to eat real food again.
There is a very large contingent of people who laugh gleefully when one of Elon Musk's rockets explode on takeoff or a submersible with wealthy adventurers is lost to the sea.
These are people whose envy and dissatisfaction with their own mediocre, unimpressive lives have driven them to despise anyone who does anything different, bold, or daring. They take pleasure in failure because they will never have any successes of their own to celebrate.
I guess pathetic assholes of this type have always existed. But it worries me that they are so numerous in our culture, and that over time they are only becoming more and more cartoonishly sadistic.
"We don't say Election Night, any more. It's now Election Month"-- NBC's Lester Holt and Savannah Guthrie having a hearty laugh over the fact that the US -- the world's richest country - can no longer count votes or decide elections in one night, or even in one week.
The fact that the US is *larger* has nothing to do with why American elections don’t return accepted results in 48 hours.
Americans used to be able to do this. What’s been lost is a system of voting, counting, and monitoring that is accepted by all sides.
