#SelfCareTip of the Day: Breathe easy - there's time for both hustle & chill! ‍

You've heard it before, life is a marathon, not a sprint. Just like breathing, you need balance. Inhale: work, goals, and productivity. Exhale: relaxation, play, and laughter.
Know your limits and be kind to yourself. Schedule some exhale time today!

Someone asked the Devil if Donald Trump was the anti-christ.

The Devil, smiling broadly, answered honestly.

"No, dear, I sent the anti-christ a long time ago now, and you people are still reading her books and follow her ridiculous philosophy!"

"Who is that?" The poor human asked.

"Why Ayn Rand, of course!"

"Justice Juan Merchan just rescheduled next week’s hearing on Donald Trump’s potential gag order violations. It will now be Thursday morning, not Wednesday afternoon." WAPO story on Merchan kicking the ball down the road further. Why is this finding so hard to rule on? I don't get it.

Did Trump’s lawyers misquote George Washington? Here’s what the first president actually said

https://www.yahoo.com/news/did-trump-lawyers-misquote-george-211727489.html

When Justice Samuel Alito, the most villainous political figure in my lifetime, asserted without any irony that prosecuting a president for refusing to relinquish power after losing an election might encourage future presidents to hold on even more firmly to their office, any remaining optimism I could muster about American democracy and its institutional ability to defend itself against tyranny drained away.

"The Australian" is a tabloid disguised as a broadsheet that exemplifies Rupert Murdoch's attempt to pretend he does news rather than rightist propaganda.

It's the proverbial lipstick on his bilious disgorgement of bullshit pig.
