Probably the healthiest thing to do since that place is such a cesspool. I am so sick of the tribalism on on both sides of the aisle. I was so hopeful for the right for a while. There I was thinking that they were truly going to rise above all of this, but unfortunately, the right has turned into the left, but just with their own policies and agendas. I know it’s difficult when we get super emotional, but anyone who thinks this particular election is unique compared to previous ones, and that were in an existential crisis, is operating from a place of fear which is fundamentally not healthy for us. Fear is our enemy, our main enemy. Fear causes us to behave in ways we otherwise wouldn’t and to give up our values and liberties. The only thing to fear is fear itself. Democrats real discount into a dystopian place because of their fear, and sadly I’m beginning to see Republicans do the same.
Had a fun time this weekend at a birthday party and wanted to share my GIF. btw..I learned it's pronounced JIFF with a soft G not GIFF with a hard G. The more you know I suppose.

Key podcast segment that is very complete in itself. In other words, you really need to watch/listen to the whole segment; that said the Abraham Lincoln quote from 1838 at about the 1m40s mark is a real winner.
The Chris Hedges Report | Decolonizing The World (w/ Amin Husain), Thursday, Jan 22, 2026
Excellent. Very Informative. Thanks both!
Some comments: Prof Husain communicates like an experienced 30-year-old(though he looks 50) but he is very thorough, knowledgeable and sincere on necessary matters. A 50-year-old who acted his age would might have been pedantic.
Like many in the collegiate profession, he tends to think in idealities but life never really works that way. It would be better if professors, generally speaking, tried to predict how events will unfold and work with that unfolding. There are some events that are uncontrollable. What do I mean by this: An example in Steven Spielberg’s 2006 film Minority Report in a scene more toward the end one of the precogs(a woman that can somehow predict the future) ,in an institution, is already tied into by being kidnapped by a potential suspect...
