Power of Connection

I was recently talking to a friend about personal connections, and we were discussing how even though GenZ, (born 1997- 2012), are more connected than any generation in history, they are the loneliest, and have the highest suicide rates of any previous generation. (GenAlpha has just reached adolescence and GenBeta started in 2025, so limited to no stats are available on them).

‘Shows’ show my age

Liz, my wife, and I had been streaming “Tell Me Lies” on Hulu, which is a show that a 50-year-old man has no business watching, much less enjoying. We binged on it for three straight days, rarely moving from the couch, and, suddenly, it was over.

Last June Trump said he obliterated Iran’s nuclear capabilities. He repeated the boast many times. Apparently, in 8 months Iran has unobliterarted its nuclear bomb capability since our military is busy reoliterating it today. Obliteration just isn’t what it used to be.

The day after the snow fell, I woke up early, threw on my neon pink snowsuit, and ate my breakfast with the veracity of cat that hasn’t been fed in 2-3 hours. I rushed outside, and the day flew by.

Like Mallory and Irving gazing up the impossible form of Everest, I decided – I MUST climb and descend such a glorious mountain. Successfully.

We join Nickenley Turenne’s family, loved ones, and the broader community in ongoing grief following his killing by three Manchester police officers on Dec. 6, 2025. This loss is devastating, irreparable, all too common — and it demands far more than condolences.

Before entering public service, I spent part of my professional career reviewing and drafting environmental and economic impact statements. Those documents shape major public decisions. They are supposed to present facts clearly, test assumptions rigorously, and weigh both benefits and costs honestly. I learned quickly that the most important question is not what an impact statement includes—but what it leaves out.

I wasn’t around in the ’80s, but lucky for me it was such an iconic era that there were lasting echoes which managed to reach even us kids from the late nineties and early 2000s. One of those echoes was the satanic panic. It’s a fascinating yet devastating situation that started as a mistake and snowballed into a conspiracy that affected thousands, resulting in decades of trauma, jail time, and, more relevant than ever, the modern interpretation of the Epstein files.
