Before calling someone a “dirtbag,” the Senator should have had his facts straight. An apology is in order. Glad one of us knew the difference between the Atlanta Hawks and the Iowa Hawkeyes!

Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

post by substack on linkedin:

"Men are willing to buy and read something that will propel them to act in the world: dust the cheetos off themselves, do 20 push-ups, and take up the worthwhile pursuit of self-actualization."
George Aldous, writing in his Substack Kill Switch, examines the decline in reading among men, and puts the blame on a publishing industry that is hostile to "both masculinity as a concept and masculine influences"
https://Inkd.in/gCPUfj5g
Mars and Venus couldn't be more different. I'm talking about the actual planets but also bluntly extending it into metaphor: men and women are different. Their preferences are different, their personalities are different, their bodies are different, and their reading proclivities are in fact... different. The point I'm ham-fistedly trying to make is, it should be of no surprise to any rational thinking person that in the age of algorithmic social media and personalized consumption: men and women are reading different things - if they are reading anything at all.
