This is a decent representation of the past five minutes but I don't know why they totally skipped past the threats to our sovereignty that set the national mood.

Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada abruptly cut off trade negotiations with the U.S. this week, delivering the message to President Trump that he would rather engage in an ugly trade war than submit to an unfair deal. Listen to "The Daily." nyti.ms/4qGSviE

A comprehensive study of cognitive control in healthy aging - Communications Medicine

De Pue et al. administer a cognitive control test battery measuring inhibition, updating, shifting, and proactive and reactive control in young and older adults. While some cognitive control functions decline with age, others are spared or even improve, highlighting the importance of distinguishing multiple cognitive control functions.

My heart cannot handle this ballgame

Pretty much no one in Canada thought there would actually be a trade deal, and the general vibe is to just tune out whatever false hope is coming from the other side. But it's still crazy that a conservative message from a conservative US president is now too much for the US.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com · 10mo ago

This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice. He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.
