As a person who once nearly put a Blackhawks logo on top of a Hawks story, I should probably sympathize but nah, I’m too busy laughing rn

Street art in her honor from SE Seattle
A glittery tinsel-fringed illustrated portrait of Dolly Parton on a telephone pole. There's a cartoon voice bubble with a quote from her that says "find out who you are and do it on purpose."

I heard it via a text from my Gen Z kid an ocean away who’s as sad as I am. Rest easy, dear Dolly, whose music and kindness gathered so many in.

The cherry blossoms in Branch Brook Park were having a nice late-season moment today ❤️

Yikes, did Wildstein's people maybe call NJ-11 too soon? Analilia Mejia has closed it to within one percentage point of Malinowski. Now less than 500 votes in it, with 82% in...

1. New Jersey is one of the last blue states to not have passed a transgender shield/sanctuary state law for trans youth. Despite having a trifecta, Democratic leadership is refusing to put the bill up for a vote as the lameduck session comes to a close. Subscribe to support our journalism.

We're going to see quite a split screen today: Millions protesting peacefully in defense of democracy, and a would-be dictator ordering tanks to tear up DC streets to make him feel powerful. It's obvious what the right side is. Be on it.

I’m so glad papers like the Berkshire Eagle still exist. this reporter covered every detail of these arrests, including quashing a rumor that the building’s maintainance guy called ICE on these men (he didn’t). support your local journalists!

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.
Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

great article about the devaluation of absolutely anything where women achieve 50%. which is a thing.
screenshot from the article:

Other disciplines that have experienced male flight include:

Biology. While most STEM professions remain male dominated, 10 years ago biology became a 50/50 male/female split. By 2022, 62% of biology majors were women. Biology is now often considered the “easiest” of the STEM majors.

Interior Design. William Morris is considered the father of interior design. After finishing his education at Oxford, he began an architectural design school called “the Firm”— just for men. Many universities had interior design programs. Until women began to enter the design space, at which point it was relegated to a mere “hobby.” Since the influx of women, interior design programs have been pulled from almost all universities.

Teaching. In the 18th century, schooling in colonial America was reserved for the white and the wealthy. Most tutors were men who taught boys. By the middle of the 19th century, girls started becoming students and women became teachers. Consequently, men swiftly left the profession, the pay dropped and teaching was no longer considered a prestigious occupation.

Similar patterns of male flight have occurred in nursing, cheerleading, social work, architecture, gymnastics, library sciences and psychology.

I’ll be honest here and risk losing my secret (ex) journalist decoder ring: Years ago my dad told me not to bother with the NYT because it had no idea what real life was about, and I’ve never really stopped believing that.
