E-Governor Bush Includes Blackberry in Official Portrait

The alleged first e-governor, Jeb Bush, had his beloved Blackberry included in a portrait that’ll go down in Florida governor history.

If you’re curious about the whole e-gov moniker it’s because he often responds to his thousands of e-mails, which is pretty rare for our high-profile political chums.

We don’t think anybody should be called an e-anything until they’ve started a blog of some sort but we’re sure Jebbie probably has some officially sanctioned one somewhere.

Thanks Boing Boing for tipping us off on the Blackberry thing.

Research suggests the reason some older adults resist therapy isn’t stubbornness or pride, it’s that the entire framework — sitting with a stranger, narrating your pain, expecting validation — contradicts everything their generation was taught about strength, and asking them to do it feels less like help and more like asking them to betray the operating system that kept them alive

Psychology says the saddest part of reaching your 60s without close friends isn’t the loneliness — it’s realizing that you have all this hard-won wisdom, all these stories, all this tenderness you’ve been storing up, and nobody you trust enough to give it to
