Horoscope: Wednesday, July 22

What was once the dream becomes the backdrop. Aries (March 21-April 19) Instead of “I’m playing it cool,” it’s “I’m obsessed!” Even before you share your excitement, people feel its power. Enthusiasm is the ambrosia of the gods, with sweetness that fuels creativity and attracts support. Taurus (April 20-May 20) Instead of “I don’t know,” it’s “I love this.” A clear preference saves time and points you toward opportunities that fit.

Workers aren’t uniting behind the DSA

What did the country ever do to white college graduates to make them feel so disaffected from its economic and political system? The wave of socialist victories in Democratic primaries is being driven by well-educated white voters who are more extreme than the rest of the Democratic coalition.

And like every food story, it starts with the first bite. As a layer of crunch prepares your brain for a crusty piece of bread, it’s immediately met by the soft yet dense chew of the inside.
