Remember when the centrists got mad at the left for using the phrase "toxic masculinity" as if they didn't understand perfectly well what it meant? I think about that a lot.

I think people would be less likely to buy large vehicles if it was a huge pain in the ass to drive them here, especially in cities. Higher gas prices are part of it. But there should be extra fees and taxes based on weight. Parking your giant Suburban should be incredibly difficult. etc.

Seems like "Highlights" has been getting political lately, no?
Cartoon of Goofus and Gallant from Highlights magazine, with the words changed around from the original. Under a picture of Goofus looking blustery, in Times New Roman font, it says 'Goofus says 'I don't need to sign that union card!"'  Beneath a picture of Gallant talking to a couple kids it says "Gallant organizes the workers to seize the means of production."

Because there is yet again another article blaming e-bikes for cars killing people, I am once again asking why, as we are facing a climate emergency and the highest gas prices ever, every newspaper in the country has decided to whip people up in a frenzy against bikes.

Laugh at Eric Schmitt and Co. for Hawkeyes/Hawks, sure. Their screw up is funny and they deserve the mockery. But also, this was the GOP and allied media geared up to defend a coup attempt with lies and jail a prosecutor because he tried to enforce the law against a criminal. How far we've fallen.

Cities don't have infinite capacity. An unfunded mandate from the state to do a review of existing ordinances means that some other project is getting delayed or pushed off the agenda.

In 2008 the economy started from a baseline of broader prosperity. Now in 2026, we've already been through 2008, we've been through 2020. Those experiences caused a lot of damage, and now people are less confident about facing it again.

He was sometimes described as the last of the true calypso singers. But in fact he simultaneously preserved calypso tradition and invented it anew.

To pick a specific nit: an air base that hosts bombers engaged in an ongoing conflict is a legitimate military target, and thus an attack on it by an enemy participant in that conflict does not constitute "terrorism."

The Dahiya Doctrine (named after a Beirut neighborhood destroyed in 2006) explicitly states Israel will use force "disproportionate to the magnitude of the enemy's actions" to punish and deter. That's not self-defense as international law defines it's a deliberate policy of punitive escalation.
