White house confused after Iranian prize remark

I am honestly not sure which is worse. That we have a world leader representing the US who believes

  • the population is stupid and complacent enough to swallow this lie.

-that a bribe is something both laudable and acceptable from an active war opponent.

This really is Caligula loosing touch with reality.

Why many men struggle to maintain deep male friendships later in life

It's pretty rare for a "deep" friendship to work in spite of external changes (having kids, moving for work, politics) AND internal changes (generational experience, level of maturity, dealing with personal stressors)

Instead of looking for a nostalgic ideal of friendship, I think its more realistic to just make a goal to place yourself in new social activities that can give you fun moments of human connection.

Honestly, at this point in my middle age, it mainly comes down to: Do we have anything in common? Cool. Can we have a comfortable conversation beyond small talk? Great. Are we both willing to make time to hang? Awesome. Anything "deeper" can come later and organically IF the connection lasts. I can count on my hand how many "deep" friendships remain in my life.

poor Dean

I would be happy to have King sign my Moonlight bay books (C'mon Koonts get the third one out!). But only if he signs it " ...needs more underage orgies -signed Stephen King."
