Are you saying newspapers don't have a duty to explore and explain the impact of public policy options?

"The world can be no better than what I've experienced. We cannot improve anything once I've been through it." Did I summarize that correctly?

Besides this -- is he always so flat and low-riz? I would have though a social media star would be more confident. He seems exhausted. The mom in me wants to give him a blanket and a snack.

The manosphere loves this stat: "the bottom 80% of women are going for the top 20% of men." Do any of them question the validity of that statistic? Have any of them ever asked if the same is true of men? Or if these aspirations are even relevant to actually choosing a long-term partner?

This does not feel like a healthy, functioning democracy. To be fair, at least two of them have dropped out since the ballot was printed.

What's frustrating to me is they continue to support him because they are insulated from the havoc he wreaks on them. The farm bill will pass and they'll say, "Aw shucks, I sure hate to take a handout," for the 1,000th time, and then they'll take that handout. Again and again and again.

It's unreasonably expensive but both my daughters go to colleges with smaller classes than they had in most of high school. My son is looking at big public universities and I know there are so many pros to those schools but I'm a sucker for knowing your professors

I don't have the screenshot anymore, but I did see a Twitter exchange where Ted Cruz complained about VA's redistricting push and one of his followers replied, "We should do this in Texas!"

Amy Gibson @amyinsd.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

I noticed this earlier -- at least one seems to think Texas was just "fixing" their maps. They're not wrong, Texas did (and I'm sure does still) have some crazy lines. Wish I could ask this guy who he thinks made those lines, and who he thinks they favored?

Screenshot from conservative subreddit with a post reading: "Yes but the Dems have been gerrymandering for decades. This is all in response to Texas fixing their map that had crazy district lines."

I hate gerrymandering with the white-hot heat of a thousand suns, but I voted for it in CA. Republicans started this whole stupid fiasco and someday hopefully we can finish it for good.

I'm in the San Diego suburbs, and we had a bond vote to rebuild an elementary school. The district kept saying, "We have to rebuild -- it's almost 40 years old!" and I kept thinking about my NJ elementary school, which was a good 50 years old when I went there in the 70s, and they're still using it.

"resolves itself somehow" is an absolutely unhinged phrase for a high-ranking administration official to use with regards to a war the aforementioned administration started.

This is where you see the value of a functioning press, and what we lose when we don't have one. This would have been a great question!

We think our little guy has some whippet or greyhound in him, and he will occasionally snuggle with a favorite toy. Maybe we should try a bigger one?

A tan dog is asleep on a dog bed. He has one leg and paw draped over a lavender dog toy (in fact, an axolotl), and his chin rests on the toy's tail.

Is it my imagination or do greyhounds love large stuffed animals more than any other breed?

As it turns out, she has only a trace of Labrador, and is mostly German Shepherd with a smattering of herding breeds and bully breeds, and a pinch of lab, golden, and chow. Very smart, energetic, and happy. She needed a job, so we do agility.

A happy black dog lies on a green lawn. She has cute ears that point out to the sides. When she's excited, they stand up. This is the day we brought her home. The lawn is less green now.
