In 1933, an overwhelmed and frustrated woman named Frau sent a letter to psychologist Carl Jung, asking “how to live.” (She didn’t have any Instagram influencers to yell motivational platitudes at her, I guess) Jung replied: “Your questions are unanswerable, because you want to know how one ought to live. One lives as one can. …if you do with conviction the next and most necessary thing, you are always doing something meaningful and intended by fate.” He was sharing the key to life. It’s part of recovery communities like Alcoholics Anonymous. It was even the title of a song in…

Southwest Airlines says it is ending its cabin service earlier on its flights starting next month. Beginning on Dec. 4, a company spokesperson said, flight attendants will begin preparing the cabin for landing at an altitude of 18,000 feet (5,486 meters) instead of 10,000 feet (3,048 meters). The change in procedure is designed to “reduce the risk of in-flight turbulence injuries” for crew members and passengers, the company said.

Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis posted on X today, reacting to reports of his negotiations with Vergil Ortiz Jr. falling apart. Ennis (33-0, 29 KOs) says he was “unaware” of any negotiations with Vergil and will let the fans know at a “later date and time” if he’s staying at 147 or moving up to 154. Ennis’ Cryptic Post It’s unclear why Ennis didn’t say his intentions in his social post, but that would have been easy for him to do. His silence just furthers the belief that he’s ducking the fight with Ortiz (22-0, 21 KOs) on February 22nd. It’s hard…
