I found the first line of that quote interesting (repro'd in full below).
I just recently learned that women diagnosed with cancer are warned by health care providers not to rely solely or largely on a male partner for support and care because they're 6x more likely to leave after the diagnosis.

Anne Lutz Fernandez @lutzfernandezOne thing it doesn't do is discuss differences by gender. This quote suggests the answer to happiness is not marriage but getting a wife.
/207:17 AM - Apr 28, 2024![“But then what we discovered was that marriage provides all these benefits that are quite mundane, like somebody who gets you to remember to eat, somebody who gets you to remember to go to the doctor, to take your medication. It sounds trivial, except it turns out to really matter for whether you’re happy and whether you stay healthy.”]()

My whackadoodle cousin told me today (at my great-niece's dance recital) that apparently there's proof in her new album's lyrics that the deep state is planning TS's marriage to Travis Kelce so she can give birth to the Antichrist and...something...something...end of days, cannibalism, and so on. 🙄

“[Moskowitz] has made it part of his mission to push back with his own bit of theater-including cosponsoring a bill to name a Fla fed'l prison after Trump, or daring a House committee to take a vote on impeachment,”

Absolutely. As much as I have concerns about Gaza (and other issues), I know that allowing TFG anywhere near the Oval Office again will ensure great harm (and potentially literall death) to marginalized communities here, and to the people of Gaza as well.

Call your county extension office! They can put you in contact with beekeepers who will come in and safely remove and relocate them.
My son had a small outbuilding on his property that had been turned into a huge hive. One call and 6 beekeepers showed up to take them, and so happy to do so.

Biden hands Howard Stern live interview as NY Times melts down over apparent brush-off - Raw Story
President Joe Biden gave a nearly-unannounced, last-minute, live exclusive interview Friday morning to Howard Stern, the SiriusXM radio host who for decades, from the mid-1990s to about 2015, was a top Trump friend, fan and aficionado. But the impetus behind the president's move appears to be a ..

This, right here.
While I can understand why someone might think Biden isn't doing enough on X, Y, or Z issue that matters to them, I always ask them: Do you think any of what you want will happen if TFG regains power because of your protest vote?
Or do you just not care about anyone else?

I have a great story about attending a Foreigner concert in 1985.
Back in the day, when smoking was allowed in venues (!!), my bf and I had super-nosebleed seats purchased at the last minute. Smoke rises, and it wasn't just tobacco being burned.
Turns the mary-jane makes me extremely paranoid.

I was a judge of elections from 2007-2011 and 2015-2019. (I won reelection in 2019, but Covid....)
Even before TFG, certain voters were frightening. The Tea Party types.
In my last election, I was told by a voter "It's a good thing we have voter lists so we know who to shoot when the time comes."

"This wand was handcrafted by the master fairies of the Wand Makers Guild of the North American Council specifically for [Redacted].
To represent her strength and persistance, it is made from a branch of a red maple sapling which grew in the state of her birth. It is wrapped in silver wire to represent her courage and grace and is topped with a small bit of ancient gold salvaged from the necklace of a faery wise woman of Ireland.

To those calling on Sotomayor to step down, you need to listen to her arguments on this court. She is brilliant and fierce and we need her. She and Ketanji Brown Jackson are the stars of this otherwise rotten SCOTUS. Kagan is great as well, just in a quieter way.
