Phillies-Red Sox just ended on the Strangest But Truest inning I’ve ever seen.
Zombie runner
4-pitch walk
Wild pitch
Intentional walk
Walkoff catchers interference.
Whaaaaat?
Baseball!

If we want to save our country, we might need to start being a little (or a lot) more generous.

US housing affordability is a crisis:
The median annual house payment as % of median income has hit 39.4%, the most since the 1980s.
The rate has skyrocketed by 14 percentage points since 2020 and has surpassed the 2006 Housing Bubble peak of 38.1%.
It is now only below the 47.5% record set in 1981 when mortgage rates were as high as 18%.
Meanwhile, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage has risen by 100 basis points since September, to 7.1%, near the highest since July.
Buying a house has rarely ever been so expensive.

Mass Media gave way to Social Media.
Decades as a meaningful measure of Pop Culture were a fluke of audiences getting their entertainment from Radio, Movies, and TV. You cannot manufacture a consensus of "Where Things Are Going" when everyone is paying attention to something different.

The tragic result is that we’ve been “over-protecting children in the real world … and under-protecting them online.” Teens need the slings and arrows of embodied experience to become functional adults. They need in-person friendships and social networks.
