Why would a physical search of Omar’s home in 2026 be relevant to or necessary for an investigation into whether her dad filled out a form incorrectly decades ago?

I’m hooked on Romance novels right now. I’m constantly amazed at the plot details, mystery elements, and actual history that is incorporated in them. The only formula that I can see is that main lovers meet early on, and there is a happy ending. Now, more than ever, we need some happy endings

Nobody is going to want to hear this, but a real risk we face, no matter who is president next, is that they will see no need to restore the rights lost or the executive power stolen in the last 10 years.

Commodified fantasy takes no risks: it invents nothing, but imitates and trivializes. It proceeds by depriving the old stories of their intellectual and ethical complexity, turning their truth-telling to sentimental platitude.

-Are these same worried adults leading the trans panic doing anything to address non-sports violence in schools, like bullying? Because there's a heck of a lot of that. -If the concern is too much T, isn't this really an argument in favor of puberty blockers?

I would just really like someone to explain to me how the "but cis girls might get hurt!" rationale even plays out. -Do girls never get hurt playing all-cis teams? -Are the sports intended to violent? If so, they're not for kids. -Do adults not step in if it looks like there's deliberate violence?

Re: that Sasse essay, do you know what we actually need our boys to do? Theater. Theater teaches them collaboration, think ing on their feet, empathy, public speaking, getting things done with no budget, and much more. And they’ll meet girls and be less likely to get traumatic brain injuries.

“Milwaukee’s experience shows that the Left not only can govern, but that it can do so considerably more effectively than either establishment politicians or progressive solo operators. That’s… why defenders of the status quo are so worried about a democratic socialist like Zohran Mamdani.”

In other "excellent news from religious bodies", the US Presbyterian General Assembly has formally voted to start the process to (correctly) declare white Christian nationalism a theological error incompatible with the teachings of Jesus: pres-outlook.org/2026/07/pcus...

pres-outlook.org

PC(USA) labels White Christian nationalism "Theological Error"

Calling White Christian nationalism incompatible with the teachings of Jesus, commissioners approved a proposed constitutional amendment and a new policy statement opposing the ideology.

NEW: Americans are pessimistic about the future. But which actors do they think are having the worst impact on the economy/society? Voters find the most harmful actors to be: 1) Billionaires 2) Corporate landlords 3) Sports gambling 4) Artificial intelligence 5) Cryptocurrency

Scatter plot titled "Billionaires and Corporate Landlords Are Seen as Most Harmful to Society and Economy." X-axis shows economic impact (3.0-5.5), y-axis shows societal impact (3.0-5.5), on a 1-7 scale where 4 is neutral. 40 numbered dots, colored dark red-brown (negative) to green (positive), follow a diagonal line showing economic and societal ratings are closely correlated. Most negative, in a shaded pink zone below 4 on both axes: Billionaires and Corporate landlords (~3.15-3.2), followed by Sports gambling, AI companies, Cryptocurrency, Payday loan companies, both major political parties, Social media companies, For-profit universities, and Cable news networks. Most positive, in a shaded green zone: Libraries and Small businesses (~5.0-5.3), followed by Hospitals, Charitable organizations, Small regional banks, and Churches. Most of the 40 actors fall between 4.0-5.0 on both axes. A numbered legend of all 40 actors accompanies the chart.
