"People are starting to put the pieces together, and ironically the most divisive forces in this country are actually starting to bring more of us together." AOC
Really good piece by @patrickfreyne.bsky.social in today’s paper. Doesn’t seem to be online yet. Ideology and the brain, rigid thinkers and rigid politics. Check it out. For my money this is the most interesting philosophical frontier today.

Jeremy Corbyn calls it out.
Don't Hesitate, by Mary Oliver. If You suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. It. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.
My wife shared this today. She is the best.
