If you spent a career in an ICU, you stop fearing death. You start fearing a long, expensive, undignified life you never designed. I left so I wouldnโt die that way. Thatโs the only niche I have.
Obviously not excusing the conviction of Russell Brand, but if his name were Mohammed or Abdul he would have been sentenced to a few weeks detention and/or community service.

A big part of the RDSโs Iowa primary strategy a few years ago was visiting every county, which he did. He still didnโt win a single one. Itโs good policy coming from the mouth of someone with the charm of a funeral director. Maybe thatโs whatโs needed, but it doesnโt sell.

Clocks fell back this weekend. Years of ICU nights taught me you don't "catch up" on sleep, you pay interest on it. Retirement's best luxury isn't the house. It's waking up without an alarm for the rest of my life, or whatever part of it that remains.

You see, theyโre already lining up to blame Cenk, as if theyโre not running a terror-adjacent candidate in Michigan. Corollary for my conservative pals, Haley Stevens is not your friend because she did something you like. She still wants you dead and buried.

'And thus runs the year in yesterdays many,
And winter wends again, as the world asks...
Then thinks Gawain all too soon
Of his troubling journey.
Yet until All Hallows' Day with Arthur he lingers...'

Germany is considering making EVERY CITIZEN an organ donor unless they opt out.
Do your organs belong to you or to the state?
Dr. Andreas Weber is taking a stand for human rights and is testifying against this proposed opt-out law ๐

๐จBREAKING: James Fishback just laid out a simple plan that could trigger 10 million self-deportations in 30 days.
Freeze every illegal alienโs bank accounts. Seize their debit and credit cards. Place liens on any real estate they own. Give them 30 days to leave the country. If they go, the money gets wired to them. If they stay, they are locked out of the U.S. financial system entirely.
Fishbackโs point is straightforward. The government already knows who is here illegally. Make it impossible for them to function financially and most will choose to leave on their own rather than live without access to banking, cards, or assets.
Cut off the money, the benefits, and the ability to maintain a bank account, and daily life becomes unsustainable. That pressure alone drives people out without needing door-to-door enforcement for every case.
Don t care much about OโKeefe or Higby, or what happens to those clowns, but am reminded MN also prosecuted Derek Chauvin for being adjacent to an overdosing hood rat.

China has tested its GW satellite internet system during this yearโs Arctic expedition. The trial linked research vessels with an Antarctica research station. The trial adds to Chinaโs wider push in the Arctic

Retirement test: can you name your three biggest risks? Mine are falls, sepsis, and boredom. Two you can train for. The third one kills more ambitious men than you'd think.

Brazil has repeatedly tried to clear out favelas and replace them with everything from middle-class neighborhoods to taxpayer-subsidized social housing.
What happens every single time is that the affordable housing projects morph back into favelas within a few years, and when the government moves people out entirely and relocates them to new neighborhoods, the relocation sites themselves eventually turn into favelas.
This has been going on since the late 1960s, yet every decade or so, government officials have this idea that favelas are just a product of poverty, when in reality they're a product of the people who live within them.
It's like that meme video we've all seen of a beaver still trying to build a dam in someone's hallway using stuffed animals and cardboard boxes. You can take a man out of the favelas, but you can't take the favela out of the man.
This week I flew to a farm in Molokai, accompanied by a sous from where I live, to sample, plant, and harvest the best onion I have ever eaten. This morning I discovered a rando grower from the Kona hills who grows my favourite tomatoโฆthe brandywine. This week has been a banger.

FBI SHADOW GOVERNMENT CHARGES: @ChuckGrassley leads the way
โToday, weโre seeing accountability efforts in action. I appreciate the Department of Justice and the FBIโs work to root out government corruption and embrace transparency. At long last, Americans can see all the facts and evidence for themselves.โ
โThese two unelected bureaucrats (EX-FBI SENIOR OFFICIALS FLORIS AND BENAVIDES) used the power of government to smear my and @SenRonJohnson constitutional oversight and distract from inconvenient truths that weaponized bureaucrats and the Biden administration didnโt want you to know."
I've coded billionaires and I've coded bus drivers. The monitor sounds the same. What's different is who's in the waiting room and whether anyone knew their wishes.
