I laughed. And then I got curious and looked it up. Kate Winslet was 22 during the filming of Titanic. Her character was 19.

This was my first thought. Yall making it all the way to August?? Nahhh. By mid January that’s me.

I separated myself from my brains “mean voice”. Because they’re not normal thoughts id have about other people, but separating them out I was able to address it differently and notice that “Her” presence is a sign something else might be going on in that moment. At first I was pretty brutal with her back, but over the years I got gentler with her and came to respect that she’s trying to protect me from something (no matter how misguided). I think the real healing came from that moment I was kind and gentle with Her when She’d say the stuff she’d say, but it started with me separating herself out so I could examine it as something distinct from my Self.

And of course they’re military. Canadian military, but still.

And I’m stuck in the middle with you.

The hill I’ll die on.

Question, can you just refuse to give them your personal information?

We had a phrase in graduate school for group projects… “good enough, move on”. Or GEMO. When we were getting too wrapped up in the details someone would say “should we just GEMO?” And there’d invariably be a sigh of relief as everyone agreed yes, it’s good enough, let’s move on.

Time in the market vs timing the market, discount might buy you a couple years worth of time but if you ever investing as you go you’d most likely have made more even with the crash.

Also, bamboo sheets for me!

I couldn’t access the article without signing up. Mobile thing?

I was wondering how much the back pay would be and if they also have to pay any kind of damages. All I see is:

… rejected Starbucks’ claim it need not rehire the baristas with back pay…

Is that enough to deter this behaviour in the future? Would those baristas actually benefit from returning to work in such a hostile environment?

Nullification !

Is that Canadian conservative MP and leader of the opposition, Pierre Polievre?

Does anyone know what we can do about this? Is there hope?

Friend had a party bus company. Regulations, rowdiness, and increasingly unreliable clients turned him off it.

I’d always get emotional in this scene, without fail.

Flubber?

I really dig this artists work, he has lots like this: https://www.robgonsalves.live/

I enjoyed that. It feels like that’s what the internets for.

Do you know what? I did keep up my resolution this year. But it may have just been flakey timing for positive life changes. My little one was more image 3 supplements, got them by my desk and work and stayed on top of it. And the second was more movement. Which started as gym, then was long walks, then yoga, back to gym. It’s been good. I don’t think I have a ton for 2025. I hope I just keep it up.
