These 5 Classic Songs Hit Differently Now We're A Little Older
via Associated PressOne of the more interesting things that happens as we age is that songs take on a brand new meaning to us. Songs that were once fun to dance to or sing at karaoke nights are suddenly powerful reminders that life is short. Personally, I can’t be left alone with Meat Loaf songs, lest I enter an existential crisis over whether I would, in fact, do anything for love. “When you hit middle age and have been the heartbroken and the heartbreaker in a relationship, this song hits hard,” Reddit user Dawglb explained. “Twenty years later and I feel attacked.”Another Reddit user said: “I feel like I listen[ed] to this when I was 30 and I totally understood.

Trump Social Security Head Says He's 'Made Some Mistakes'
WASHINGTON — The temporary leader of the Social Security Administration acknowledged Tuesday in an email to staff that he’s made mistakes in his rapid shakeup of the agency but said he wouldn’t be deterred.

Decolonizing My Love Life: What I Learned When I Stopped Dating White Men
And so, my dating life became a rotation of white men who, in retrospect, viewed me as something between a conquest and a curiosity. The messaging was relentless: Asian men were nerdy, awkward “nice guys,” but never the ones who got the girl. I wasn’t just dating white men — I was competing with other AAPI women for their attention. Instead of seeking solace among other AAPI women, I retreated into a self-imposed exile, ashamed of my own scarcity mindset. White men were never the dream ― they were just the default, the easiest illusion to chase.

I wanted to find something poetic or important to say, something worthy of my final chance to talk to my dad. “My dad would know the answer to this,” I blurted in an editorial meeting a few months after his death. “But I can’t ask.”Advertisement AdvertisementAdvertisementI was trying for jovial, but the words sucked the air from the room. In the world of those words — You never get over something this big — I was broken, irreversibly, by something I’d had no hope of controlling.

Divided Democrats Give Away Their Leverage As Trump Celebrates
For a brief moment on Wednesday, it looked like Democrats were going to use it on the GOP funding bill, heartening Democratic voters who demanded they do more to stop Trump. Other Democrats, however, said that passing the GOP spending bill would empower Trump to withhold funding to states and localities that don’t do his bidding, including those of Republicans who may stand in his way. Lawmakers must tackle several issues in the coming months that could require bipartisan support, including raising the debt ceiling and delivering aid to victims of the California wildfires.
