Help settle a discussion between me and my wife: what side is the front of the bed?
I don't think I've ever heard anybody refer to a front on a bed. There's the head of the bed, the foot of the bed, the side of the bed, the top of the bed....

Trump, 79, Struggles to Stay Awake at White House Meeting
The president has odd sleep habits, multiple people inside the administration have revealed.
Vice President JD Vance told Fox News last month that Trump “doesn’t have an off switch” and doesn’t seem to get much shut-eye.
“Sometimes the president will call you at 12:30 or 2:00 in the morning, and then he’ll call you at 6:00 in the morning about a totally different topic,” Vance said. “It’s like, ‘Mr. President, did you go to sleep last night?’”
Bondi said a week later on Katie Miller’s podcast: “None of us can keep up with him, we always joke...I don’t know how he does it. I mean, none of us know when he sleeps.
They're talking about it as though it's somehow admirable or even okay. Disordered sleep causing various health and cognitive problems aside, the sleep patterns they're describing are symptoms of dementia. Trouble falling asleep at night, trouble staying asleep, being excessively sleepy during the day--these can all be caused by dementia.

‘We're really worried’: 4 grey whales found dead off B.C. coast in 10 days
Grey whales have been dying like this in droves up and down the entire west coast, from California to BC. We've had thirteen deaths in Washington alone so far this year. It's shocking how little attention it's been getting elsewhere.

Rumen Radev wins Bulgarian Parliamentary election
Radev, 62, is seen as a pragmatic, somewhat pro-Russian leader, who has criticised EU sanctions, and called for constructive dialogue with the Kremlin.
He opposes Bulgarian military support for Ukraine, but is unlikely to replicate Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's role as a spoiler of EU backing for Kyiv.
Appeasing fascism is still fascism.

You ever go into withdrawals because you forgot to drink caffeine?
No. You might feel better overall if you didn't use caffeine every day.

One thing I noticed when I first moved to Japan:
When you buy a new book (they don't do this at used book stores), they wrap it in paper. Kind of like we did with our textbooks with paper bags back when I was a kid in school in the US. But they use nicer paper.
This means that when you take your book out, nobody can see what it is. Unless you remove the paper.

My father from the greater New York area still refuses to ride our local light rail here in Seattle because he doesn't understand that it's actually a really low key experience, with clean, safe, fairly quiet cars (for the most part), and relatively efficient service at low prices and all that. He thinks it's all like the New York Subway or NJ Transit.
He's going on that light rail next time he's here.
