PROGRESSIVE POLITICAL COMMENTARY: “Democratic Establishment Still Hasn’t Learned Their Lesson” / The Humanist Report / Mike Figueredo ☮
After a recent change in the Democratic Party’s leadership, it’s very apparent that they haven’t learned their lesson after being defeated by Donald Trump and the Republicans. Senate Democrats unanimously voted to make Chuck Schumer—a centrist, corporatist, Wall Street shill—Senate Minority Leader. While Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren were assigned to different leadership positions, Chuck Schumer will inevitably offer more of the same as the current leader of the party.

PSYCHOLOGY – ANALYTIC PSYCHOLOGY: “Five Common Words / Phrases That Have Totally Different Meanings for an Introvert, and an Extrovert” / Learning Mind / Caroline Hindle ☮
#1 of the Common Words: Solitude
Extrovert’s definition: A negative state of being, characterized by a feeling of loneliness and boredom. May lead to frantic attempts to find company, including: calling everyone you know; seeing who’s available on chat; potentially going as far as making new friends for the sake of filling in this unbearable window of empty and meaningless existence.
Introvert’s definition: A joyful state heralded in by sigh of relief, giving way to excitement, and a warm, fuzzy feeling at the prospect of getting to enjoy a whole spectrum of solitary activities at one’s leisure. A rare opportunity for pleasure that is only jeopardized by those arch-nemeses of the introvert: the telephone and the doorbell.
