He'll say that he was just kidding, but chances are he really is like this with every household task, and she's trapped doing everything for both the baby and the insufferable manchild...

It helps if you inherit or steal unthinkable quantities of wealth first and then pay your way to accomplishing your dreams, but those of us with a moral compass don't have such an advantage...

This is equivalent to something like a few hectares of trees which, unlike this monstrosity, can be grown for free, provides shade, and supports animals... They will do literally anything to not grow wildlife.

Just captured the moment climate protesters crashed the University of Exeter's Exeter Climate Forum 2026. Protesters were upset that one of the sponsors is an insurance company with fossil fuel ties. University was very respectful and let the protesters speak for ~10 minutes. They left peacefully.

Assuming civilization doesn't deteriorate into barbarism, history books (websites?) in the future will use pictures like this one to describe the time we are currently living in as one of immense inequality, inefficiency, and unnecessary cruelty... Sigh.

Medical science has this problem, too. Far too many clickbait headlines exaggerating results from murine studies and convenience samples. Every other week a headline reads "coffee causes heart attacks" then "coffee protects against heart attacks". It's really poor science communication.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

A disturbing example of well-intentioned medical practitioners violating the dignity and autonomy of a woman who was better informed about risks than they were. Truly dystopian.

I also have a particular paper that keeps getting cited incorrectly. It's so fucking sad that some researchers can't even be bothered to write an intro. No self-respecting researcher would publish slop.
