Gloria Steinem, Personification of the Women’s Movement, Dies at 92
She challenged sexist assumptions, helping women develop a sense of self-worth and gain a measure of equality at work, at home and in society at large.

Republicans are trying to make the news cycle about anything other than Donald Trump and his incredibly unpopular domestic and foreign policy agenda. That’s why they set up this Fauci hearing. And everyone is taking the bait

Nobody understands Trump better than women who have been trapped in abusive relationships with narcissistic men. Too bad political & media elites are overwhelmingly composed of men who admire and/or share these characteristics & thus can not see them for what they are.

I don’t think so, no. I’d be open to evidence to the contrary, but the way people are saying he hacked voting machines (via satellite or uninterruptible power supplies) isn’t really a viable attack vector. Most voting machines are also air-gapped, so the satellite theory makes no sense to me.

As I keep saying, the American electorate has been the least-informed and most politically-unsophisticated group of voters in all of recorded history. Their idiocy is almost indescribable in its breadth and scope. They voted to destroy American democracy.

You get these sort of claims in the charismatic movement. Influential New Apostolic Reformation leader Rick Joyner (who had considerable influence over Sarah Palin's key Alaska church) has claimed to have teleported. Such miracle claims trace to the Latter Rain movement of the late 1940s.

Probably so, and it's not like we've made progress on "you're being cheated out of the benefits of your labor" in the past 50 years. From 1979Q4 to 2025Q4, productivity is up 92.4% but hourly pay is only up 33.6%, a gap that just keeps growing.
The gap between productivity and a typical worker’s compensation has increased dramatically since 1979, graph showing productivity growth and hourly compensation growth, 1948–2025
