I think it’s fine that Taylor Swift is excited about middle aged long term relationship sex and talks about it in a way that makes other people feel slightly embarrassed, that’s basically the dream for everyone

Watching this particular brand of tail chasing is interesting. I remember people being told they were overreacting. You thought a bunch of racists who hate the poor would just cut waste and not view the whole program as a waste. That’s an interesting choice.

its hard to imagine a more embarrassing unforced error for the Dems than the "ban TikTok" fiasco. Not only did they alienate youth voters, openly waffle on the First Amendment and let Trump claim to be the defender of "free speech," now they've literally handed the platform to Trump to control

unsurprising that so many of these ppl faced “cancel culture” for anti-trans rhetoric. almost as if punching down at an oppressed group is an indicator that someone has a poor moral compass

Most men have defined masculinity as not-feminine. This means that the more women expand their abilities and interests once the domain of men, these men then have to more narrowly define their masculinity. Soon all that’s left is just the toxic parts.

NY Mag'rs latest cover story shows exactly how damaging it is to have reporters who aren't tapped into the chronic illness or disability world writing abt this stuff. The vast majority of ppl w chronic illness do not support RFK, quite the opposite. Deeply misleading framing.
MAHA similarly is a vehicle for all manner of disaffected people, from the crunchy to the paranoid to the chronically ill, who have been searching for a charismatic outsider to launch an assault against the powerful forces that have kept Americans unhealthy for so long.NY Mag cover talking about chronic illness influencers
