The whole point of living in a country and paying stupid amounts of money in taxes is being able to assume that if you can buy a thing it is relatively safe. That isn't true - especially for supplements. And we should all be angrier that it isn't.

God bless these Swiss dudes and all the gynecologists advocating for less pain in gynecological procedures. I didn't pass out or vomit from IUD insertion, but it sure hurt like the dickens every time. And I *100% did not know* that those demon scissors on the left were being used inside my body.

Why is gynecology still using a Civil War-era tool?

A new medical device is part of a broader effort to make gynecological care less painful — and to take patients more seriously.

Ruling against TPS for Haitians, the Trump justices on the Supreme Court have set a new impossible standard for proving discrimination against non-whites: if there is any other reason *in addition* to the racism, the racism doesn’t count www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Mullin now sets up an even more impossible double standard. If the government wants to discriminate against Black people, any pretext will do. “As long as there is a plausible basis—any plausible articulable basis—for the government’s action, then the Court will look to that basis as sufficient,” Aderson Francois, a law professor at Georgetown University, told me, “even in the face of evidence that government actors were motivated by animus.” If a Black person wants to prove they’ve been discriminated against, however, no amount of evidence will suffice.

“This Court sees race when it wants to, and blinds itself to racism in most other cases,” Melissa Murray, a law professor at NYU, told me. “It’s hard to imagine how egregious the statement would have to be to be considered ‘overtly racial’.”

It’s not the most pressing crisis this country faces but I cannot get over the fact that a qualification for being a top lawyer at the DOJ now is apparently being functionally illiterate. This shit reads like a seventh grader wrote it. What are we doing here man.

Excellent essay, though like a lot of the right’s current pathologies I think much of this has more mundane personal origins: Conservative parents send their kids to college, and they come back rejecting and ridiculing the worldview they were raised with.

"I don't do politics"

Because the news upsets me. Because I'm trying to "keep things positive!" Because it's bad for my mental health. Because I don't have time. Because I don't have energy. Because I don't want to offend you. Because it doesn't affect me. Because I have enough on my plate. Because I can see them coming, outside my window, I can see them coming, but they're not coming for me.
