I'm not into religion, spirituality, Internet influencers, [FILL-IN-THE-BLANK]-maxxing, fad diets, or any of the silly wellness trends and/or pop psychology mumbo-jumbo of the moment that is/are strewn across the Internet.
That said, many of the stoic memes that appear on my Substack feed seem remarkably rational and common sensical--including, for example, the ones below. Take it #FWIW, and thank you for your attention to this matter.
Waiting for dinner. Somewhat impatiently.

Walmart's Great Value store brand will also be releasing a new line of food items aimed at GLP-1 users. Basically, bright glossy cardboard boxes with nothing inside.
Walmart is redesigning the packaging of its Great Value products to make them more appealing to customers and to help shoppers spot nutritional information more quickly. Great Value is Walmart’s biggest store brand and one of the largest food and consumer packaged goods labels in the U.S. The revamp announced on Wednesday comes as shoppers have increasingly treated private-label foods not as a stepdown from national brands, but more as an equivalent. A company executive says the new cartons, boxes, bags and other containers will start to appear on Walmart store shelves next month. He says the overhaul doesn't involve any changes to the products themselves.
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the last time that I received a piece of snail mail in my US Postal Service mailbox that didn't go immediately into the paper recycling bin.
Appreciate the gesture, but my libido also got discounted 15% once I hit 55.
Me: "What would you like for your birthday dinner?"
Wife: "STEAK!!!"
Happy wife, happy life.
I threw in some lamb chops and "salt potatoes" (an upstate NY delicacy, #IYKYK) for good measure.
Happier wife.
This is pretty much the best advice anyone can give to anyone. I've implemented all 7 of these over time (plus, largely given up alcohol), and am a much happier and more relaxed person. Tackle these one by one and see for yourself.
I was too young to remember Neil Armstrong's first steps on the moon.
But I am old enough to remember the latter Apollo lunar landings.
And I clearly remember the Apollo-Soyuz hook-up.
This Artemis II triumph came just when I, as an American who has not been especially proud to be American lately, needed it most.
Well done NASA!
And may the four Artemis II astronauts never pay for a drink for the rest of their lives.
I can't wait to see this documentary. Big Mama was the OG Hound Dog.
‘The biggest, baddest, saltiest chick you would ever see’: why no one sang the blues like Big Mama Thornton https://www.theguardian.com/music/2026/apr/10/big-mama-thornton-documentary-blues-singer-original-hound-dog-elvis?CMP=share_btn_url
Gay, fearless and utterly unique, Thornton had a hit with Hound Dog before Elvis – but was then fleeced and forgotten. One hundred years after her birth, a new documentary sets the record straight
Yeti the Pyr is the voice of the resistance.
