“Excuse” vs. “Reason” just boils down to whether they really do want an explanation, or just an apology.
If they’re angry, distraught, or otherwise emotional, they probably just want an apology; only if they’re inquisitive and emotionally controlled do they want an explanation.

WTF, $3000 Samsung TV has an always-on mic, automatic content recognition, geo tracking, network mapping, and ships your data to Samsung + 400 partners.
Bro Rooted a brand-new 2025 Samsung TV after noticing absurdly targeted ads.
Firmware was locked down, so zero-days it was.
Got a root shell.
then found: always-on voice service, ACR, geo, full telemetry pipeline, and four separate DRM systems.
This isn’t a bug, It’s the product bro.

Americans are smuggling Chinese cancer medications in their suitcase.
26 boxes of Zeggrovy will cost you $10k in China.
AstraZeneca licensed it from the. Chinese company and is projected to sell it around $200k for the 26 boxes.
We don’t have to live like this.
In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here.
A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy.
So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years.
The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip.
I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform.
Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post.

go to each other's homes. this is 75% of hanging out. watch the simpsons seasons 3-7. play a board game. make some cheap food. talk, gossip, bring your craft project over or your sketchbook. watch a movie together. go on a walk. make prank calls. make popcorn for christ's sake.
“Forgive” is used in two very different ways:
1. “Pretend the wrongdoing never occurred”
2. “Stop going out of your way to punish the person”
Real accountability = the person is owed forgiveness in sense #2; abuse culture will tell you a lip service apology = they’re owed #1.

with 12 days until the midterm elections, the entire republican party has coalesced around attacking a woman for having been raped by her stepfather when she was twelve
Trump: "Vivek Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Amy Acton, who is running for Governor of Ohio, is a liar, and much worse. The Press, in a concerted and well coordinated attack, is trying to get Vivek Ramaswamy to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about a daughter in that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving in Office"
