That undercounts it!
He spent NINE HOURS A DAY "tweeting, phoning friends and watching television.
Official meetings, policy briefings and public appearances — typically the daily work of being president — consumed barely more than three hours of his day."

The discourse around biden needing more sleep is fully insane. Does no one remember "Executive Time," the thing Trump spent the majority(!) of his schedule on where he would just watch TV and tweet? Dude was categorically unable to fulfill any of the demands of the office and the press barely cared

6/ This is a stupid premise for a show, but it totally redeems itself by being very endearing, romantic, and charming. Give Akari (the female lead) a chance. She starts out obnoxious but warms up over time. Give Jirō (the male lead) a chance. His friends are assholes but he's not an asshole.

5/ So both people in the couple are trying to earn enough points to be with their crush second semester. Which means bonding really heavily first semester, which opens them up to falling in love with each other in the meantime. Meanwhile, their crushes are paired together, too.

4/ They're graded based on the points they earn. Do chores together, get points. Eat meals together, cook and clean up together, get points. Go on a date, get points. Watch TV together, get points. If the couple gets an A in the first semester, they get to choose their partner second semester.

3/ But, upon living together, the two of them grow closer to each other, and basically fall in love with each other, although their friends don't really understand their connection. Going in, each of them has crushes on other people. In the show each couple gets points for bonding with each other.

2/ That's a completely bonkers premise, but everyone in the world of the show takes it completely seriously and doesn't question what a bad idea that is. In the show, a shy nerd is paired up with a popular girl who looks down on him. She has shocking pink hair and acts like a gyaru.

1/ I want to recommend a romance anime series you might not have heard of: More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers. In their high school, there's a project senior year where students are paired up and have to simulate being married couples (male/female), living in an apartment alone together.

Sometimes you have to love British euphemisms. If someone showed up drunk on live television, the BBC would say that they were "tired and emotional" to evade a libel lawsuit.

The kind of person who ends up in Biden's inner circle is not the kind of person to push back on a bad idea. You have to spend decades of tukhis-lekking before you're allowed in the room.

We know that President Trump would hang out in his bedroom watching right-wing media until at least 11 AM every morning. He golfed. He hung out at Mar-a-Lago. He basically fucked off and let Christofascists and Kahanists run the show. At least Biden's clique are better than that.

Let's imagine a worst case scenario that President Biden is no longer capable of performing his duties as POTUS and his phalanx of aides are both covering up for him and running the country in his stead. That's pretty much what President Trump did during his term, letting his ghouls run the show.

IMO the biggest problem with Biden's age is the fact that Trump wants to be a dictator on day one and it doesn't look like there's anything or anyone in our institutions that are willing or able to stop him.

If Bourbaki was the expression of French structuralism in mathematics, Grothendieck was the expression of French post-structuralism in mathematics. Eventually he post-structuralismed himself right out of mathematics.

POST: To be a socialist in the 21st century is to reckon with the horrors of 20th century socialism and still feel that there's a path forward that allows the human race to outgrow capitalism. Or to give a pass to those horrors in a glib and meaningless way.

6/7 They understand that if freedom is a slogan not matched with actual freedom in one's everyday life, or if the things being depicted by the ruling class as the blessings of freedom are actually superficial and meaningless, then the ideology is a sham.
