Chris Cillizza Lists All of Trump’s Big Beautiful Wins in July and the Month’s Not Even Over Yet

An excavation at Cap Corse, a peninsula on the rugged northern tip of Corsica, has uncovered the remains of a port structure from Late Antiquity, dating to the 4th-5th centuries A.D. A team from the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (INRAP) excavated the outcropping overlooking Meria Bay before construction. They uncovered large schist blocks and postholes indicating a wooden structure once stood above them. Archaeologists believe it was a wooden jetty. These monoliths, some of which exceed 1.50 m in length, appear to have been deposited in a disorderly manner, without binder, but nevertheless form a very localized riprap cordon. They are then topped by a thin hydromorphic sequence, probably linked to an episode of overflow of the watercourse, followed by an alternation of stone levels (shale chips) and silty sedimentary contributions forming a flat stony surface 4 to 6 m wide and with an observed length of 13 m. The development, which extends over a thickness of almost 80 cm, is thus an extension of the substrate, against which it rests, and allows ground to be gained from the riverbed. Slightly larger blocks are positioned at the northern edge of the construction and act as supports for the structure. The stone platform looks rough and disorganized, but it was structured and required a great deal of effort and planning to accomplish. The design suggests it was a wharf or dock where boats were moored and their cargoes unloaded. Close to 100 metal objects, many of them bronze nails that may have been used in the construction of the wooden superstructure, have been found. The structure was dated to Late Antiquity thanks to the discovery of more than a thousand ceramic fragments found in the archaeological layer. Very few remains from Late Antiquity have been found in Corsica, so the discovery gives archaeologists a unique opportunity to study the period.

In a video posted in September 2023, TikToker @myexistentialdread used the phrase “boomer panic” to explain how baby boomers (1946 to 1964) can quickly become unhinged when faced with the most minor problems. It all started when she visited a Lowe’s hardware store and encountered a boomer-aged woman working at the check-out stand.“I had a dowel that didn’t have a price tag on it, whatever, so I ran back and took a photo of the price tag. And as I was walking back towards her, I was holding up my phone… because I had multiple dowels and that was the one that didn’t have the price tag on it,” she said in the video. “And she looks at me and she goes, ‘I don’t know which one that is,’ and she starts like, panicking.” The TikToker said that the woman was “screechy, panicking for no reason.” Older people can become frustrated over seemingly small things.Photo credit: CanvaMany people raised by boomers understood what she meant by "boomer panic." "Boomer panic is such a good phrase for this! Minor inconvenience straight to panic," the most popular commenter wrote. And while there was some unfortunate boomer-bashing in the comments, some younger people tried to explain why the older folks have such a hard time regulating their emotions: “From conversations with my mother, they weren’t allowed to make mistakes and were harshly punished if they did.” The TikToker responded, “A lot of people mentioned this, and it breaks my heart. I think you’re right,” Myexistentialdread responded.A follow-up video by YourTango Editor Brian Sundholm tried to explain boomer panic in an empathetic way. See on Instagram “Well, it's likely that there actually was a reason the woman started panicking about a seemingly meaningless problem,” Sundholm said. “Most of us nowadays know the importance of recognizing and feeling our emotions.” Sundholm then quoted therapist Mitzi Bachman, who says that when people bottle up their emotions and refuse to express them, it can result in an "unhinged" reaction.TikToker Gabi Day shared a similar phenomenon she noticed with her boomer mom; she called the behavior “anxiety-at-you.”Day’s boomer mother was “reactive,” “nervous,” and “anxious” throughout her childhood. Now, she is still on edge with Day’s children. “She's immediately like gasping and just really like exaggerated physical reactions, and then, of course, that kind of startles my kid,” Day said. “Again, I know that this comes from a place of care. It's just a lot,” she continued. @itsgabiday It comes from a place of love but it is exhausting ?? #millennialmomsoftiktok #boomergrandma #reparenting #gentleparenting There is a significant difference in emotional intelligence and regulation between how boomers were raised and how younger generations, such as Gen X, millennials, and Gen Z, were brought up. Boomers grew up when they had to bottle up their feelings to show their resilience. This can lead to growing anger, frustration with situations and people, chronic stress, and anxiety—all conditions that can lead to panicky, unhinged behavior.Ultimately, Sundholm says that we should sympathize with boomers who have difficulty regulating their emotions and see it as an example of the great strides subsequent generations have made in managing their mental health. “It may seem a little harsh to call something 'boomer panic,' but in the context of how many of them were raised, it makes a lot of sense,” Sundholm says. “It also underlines the importance of emotional regulation skills and teaching them to future generations. And maybe most important, having compassion for those who never had a chance to learn them.” Having compassion for older generations can go a long way.Photo credit: CanvaThis article originally appeared in March.
