The most important step toward robust mental & physical health is when we realize that no single protocol, program supplement or Rx* is alone going to solve it & we instead initiate a series of *daily actions toward persistent wellbeing*. Those actions are (& always will be): 1) sleep, 2) viewing sunlight (even through clouds), 3) movement (cardio & resistance & mobility training; not necessarily all on the same day), 4) quality nutrition (content, amount timing), 5) social connection, including connection to self. From there, the list expands, of course, based on individual needs, preferences, disposable income, etc. but the above 5 form a robust and reliable foundation. *some people require Rx medication support of course. That does not erase the need for the basic 5 behaviors.

Boston-area wastewater levels are where they were in early Jan and rising fast. MA COVID hospitalizations are at highest since winter Omicron wave, with > 100 COVID deaths last week for the first time in a long time. Little public acknowledgment. We have become comfortably numb.

viral tweets of stranded Southwest customers lashing out and Southwest employees crying had me thinking about how much of our system is set up to shield corporate execs while creating mutual antagonism between “customers” and workers. So I wrote about it thecolumn.substack.com/p/sou…

Wow. This was an incredible moment from Adam Frisch at his debate with Lauren Boebert.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas has temporarily struck down Biden's student debt forgiveness program after a plaintiff filed a suit claiming it was “unfair for people who didn’t qualify.” The kicker: this same plaintiff received almost $50,000 in PPP loan forgiveness.

If it wasn’t for Gen-Z, there would have been a red wave. The polling shows that OUR generation voted for Democrats more than any other age group. WE are the reason Democracy will stand. We now have a seat at the table. Time to start listening.

One potential takeaway from tonight is that the US is a center left country with a gerrymandering problem. If republicans are going to turn in a historically poor midterm performance now in this moment, a lot of talking heads need to re-evaluate their priors on this stuff.

I keep coming back to this again and again: older bosses, through no fault of their own, don’t know the intimacy of deeply forged (exclusively!) online friendship
@JessGrose says - don't discount that older bosses haven't made friendships online and that shapes their views about remote work.

Trump did such a bad job he spurred an entire generation to become politically involved at a level seen few other times before in US history. Ironically a generation that will likely do just what he feared. Building a multiracial democracy with actual liberty and justice for all.

Trump promised to bring jobs back home. He was all talk. Joe Biden is actually doing it. Biden is on pace to make 2022 a record setting year for number of jobs brought back to the U.S. from China and overseas. wsj.com/articles/u-s-compani…
