We have completely lost the plot in America, when seven men can drug and gang rape a woman who was in no condition to give consent and so much of the concern is for the “men’s” futures. There needs to he a reckoning when it comes to male-first framing and societal expectations.

It is not just a rejection of the American constitutional settlement; it is a rejection of the 1689 English settlement.

This is an entirely new phenomenon because before the vaccine, most women who survived measles were immune because they had it when they were young. But now, idiots who refuse to get vaccinated are giving birth to babies with measles. Two babies have died. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

America had wiped out measles. Now babies are infected at birth.
Congenital measles has rarely been seen in the U.S. That’s changing as vaccination declines and more pregnant women become infected.

it’s genuinely fascinating how establishment democratic politics in big cities has become so ossified and incompetent that they’ve created a huge lane for the left to embrace good government reforms and build a broad coalition of socialists and technocrats

Well that depends. Do you think words have meanings? Like, when people say things, should we attach linguistic definitions to the words they use? Or do you think, like, you know, nothing really means anything, language is just kinda jazz and we should just kinda groove and zone out?
USA Today headline: Trump floats $5,000 checks 'if the Republicans win.' Is that a bribe?

It takes you 20 paragraphs to get to the part of the article where they admit that Mamdani isn't paying the influencers and the reason they are posting videos of the stuff Mamdani is doing is because people are interested in watching it.
The mayor’s office says that it does not pay the influencers. Still, their proximity and access to a figure as popular as Mr. Mamdani can help increase their own social media following and, by extension, potentially put them in a position to attract paid content sponsorships from commercial brands. Some influencers said that when they feature Mr. Mamdani, the videos get more likes and viewers watch longer.

Are any of you watching Furious on Hulu? Some of the best acting and writing I've seen in a crime series in the last couple of years. Eight episodes (I've seen seven); genuinely suspenseful and surprising; totally worth your time. Quincy Tyler Bernstine in particular is just killing it.

You see a lot of glib analysts repeating the line that "Americans just don't want EVs" without taking into consideration that the US auto buying experience is dominated by a network of extremely ignorant, Republican car dealers dependent on the kind of maintenance that EVs don't need.

This line of questioning is utterly irrelevant to public policy & to the lives of 99% of the people AES will be representing. But it is what America's desiccated, decadent political media has come to see as "tough questions" -- ie, questions designed to hurt your chances of being elected.

so according to the CDC, *foodborne illness* is responsible for about 930 deaths a year. "food-induced illness" is a made up term RFK is using for basically every cause of mortality minus suicide.
