There are people doubling down on it in the comments. Truly just baffling how confident people feel about saying this type of stuff.

Your explanation describes yourself as an over functioning woman like so many of us are. Please pace yourself because it's a long 18 years mentally, emotionally and physically and it's hard to maintain that level of functioning for very long.
While this description of your husband sounds like he's not as bad as the 1 minute snapshot to your family-it shows that he's doing minimum of what he should be doing and clearly shows that you're the default parent and he HELPS you... so please stop holding yourself responsible for so much.

Nope. He still could have helped. Stop harming other women by defending a husband who won't hold the baby because "feel bad". Women have to deal with far more than "feel bad" daily and still get stuff done. He could have helped. And you know it.

For the record here: it looks like they finally decided to make a separate Wikipedia page for Lahn. Baffled this took so long.

Zach Lahn
American politician (born 1985/6)
Zachary Lahn (born 1985/1986, pronounced /lein/ LAYNE) is an American politician and businessman. A member of the Republican party, he is the Republican nominee in the 2026 lowa gubernatorial election. Lahn defeated Randy Feenstra in an upset primary win and faces Democratic former state auditor Rob Sand in the general. "]

"Platner probably shouldn't have a wikipedia page either." Incredible. What's the point of Wikipedia if I can't look up a damn candidate's background?

Isn't he more than notable to have his own page? Grahammydoodle (talk) 05:13, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:NOTABLE someone is not notable to have their own page for just being an unelected candidate for office, but can still have a page if they are notable for something else. TW929 (talk) 06:33, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Hasn't he received enough media attention to qualify for even a brief article, though? Grahammydoodle (talk) 07:00, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Per WP:NOTABLE being an unelected canddiate alone dos not make him notable enough, but if hes notable for other grounds then he is. TW929 (talk) 17:39, 19 June 2026 (UTC)

Respectfully, isn't Graham Platner also an unelected candidate for office? Additionally, I doubt Platner was very notable before running for Maine's Senate seat. But Platner has and gets an article, why not Lahn too? Grahammydoodle (talk) 00:59, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

You're right, Platner doesnt meet the requirements for Notability and likely should not have an article. I assume one was just created to split it off of the Maine senate article to avoid spending half of the article listing his controversies TW929 (talk) 02:09, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Hey everyone. Money is pretty tight for me right now and lately driving DoorDash has been bringing in less than usual. I have rent coming up here soon, and it would help a lot if you could kick a few bucks my way. My Venmo is @Josiah-Sutton. Thanks

Hey @sarahforiowa.bsky.social — this lost my vote. And you’re delusional to think you won over anyone on the right by trying this. You should be deeply ashamed for trying to cater to a moral panic like this, especially while we have an ascendant fascist movement fueling it.

From Anatomy of Fascism by Robert Paxton

It is by understanding how past fascisms worked, and not by checking the color of shirts, or seeking echoes of the rhetoric of the nation-al-syndicalist dissidents of the opening of the twentieth century, that we may be able to recognize it. The well-known warning signals— extreme nationalist propaganda and hate crimes-are important but insufficient. Knowing what we do about the fascist cycle, we can find more ominous warning signals in situations of political deadlock in the face of crisis, threatened conservatives looking for tougher allies, ready to give up due process and the rule of law, seeking mass support by nationalist and racialist demagoguery. Fascists are close to power when conservatives begin to borrow their tech-niques, appeal to their "mobilizing passions," and try to co-opt the fascist following.

Yeah they’re definitely getting more comfortable saying this stuff about kids. These people are itching for a genocide.

The dumbest shit I've ever heard is that a baby
DESERVES to be an American citizen if that baby's parents BROKE THE LAW and
ILLEGALLY ENTERED OUR COUNTRY and had a baby here.
That is so obviously idiotic.

Ah yes, it must be a foreign element leading Parisians to riot. I can’t think of any rioting in Paris prior to the introduction of refugees.

X post from Katie Miller. She is quote tweeting a Visegrád 24 post saying "Riots and attempts of arson and looting reported from Paris in connection with the Champions League final played in Budapest tonight between Arsenal and PSG" with a video of a riot attached. She replies, "Import the third world, become the third world."

Making this long ass post about how devastating this photo has been for you while you also have the photo as your avi is one of the funniest things in the world

The Lectern Guy-@lecternleader
X.com
On a serious note, 1 am writing up my complaint against the DOJ and submitting it this week.
Maybe l'Il fly to DC and deliver it personally.
My situation is different than most. The infamy gained from this photo will be in history books.
What they did to me will have a generational effect on my family and their livelihoods.
I was mocked and called a thief by Jimmy Kimmel, John Krasinski, and Jim Carey.
My face and the accusation of being a thief was shared globally... for years. It still persists today harming my chances to win my local election or lead a normal life.
Public school teachers told my children and their friends that their dad was a terrorist.
My wife's reputation was dragged through the mud. Death threats caused her work to have to hire private security.

USF denied my reentry into college.
I had to fight to get my guns rights back.
My children and myself were subjected to additional screenings by the TSA.
My federal probation officer tried to stop me from speaking out on @Timcast warning that more death threats might come if I choose to talk.
My attorney fees were 100k, I was fined 5k and | lost five years of my life to date fighting the lies they told about me.
We spent an additional 150k in publicity trying to clear my name and restore my reputation.
The DOJ could've chosen to release the evidence clearing my name but withheld it.
They maliciously charged me with felony theft.

We lost things that can never be restored but if they choose to do the right thing and restore the Jers, we can finally finish setting things right.

Whites? They have destroyed the world and themselves. To be white means to be nihilist.
It is selfhatred race. It caused so many troubles to others and to itself. It has lost the right to be something. No arguments to support its existence.

It’s awesome that the right is fine with Kalshi and shit but this brewery saying they’d give out free beer if Trump dies is "creating an incentive." Like someone is going to go "damn, I really want some beer, but I don’t have any money. I guess I’m going to kill the president!"

Screenshot of a Facebook post from Minocqua Brewing Company: Well, we almost got #freebeerday. Either a brother or sister in the Resistance needs to work on their marksmanship or he faked another assassination to get a positive news cycle.
We'll never know. Regardless, we stand at the ready to pour free beer the day it happens.

This screenshot is being shared by Drew Grage who says, "This brewery in Wisconsin is gushing over the assassination attempt. These people want us dead."

Drew Grage’s post is quote tweeted by George Santos, who says, "This place needs to be investigated as they are creating an incentive… that’s brazen and vile."

I do AV work for a funeral home and this is one of the most common song choices. It seems to be one of those songs that elderly boomers and silent generation folks turn to as they’re thinking about death.

Screenshot of an X post from @clashreport:

Trump posted a video of Frank Sinatra performing “My Way”.

“And now, the end is near / And so I face the final curtain…
 Regrets, I’ve had a few / But then again, too few to mention…
 I did it my way.”

Honestly I think the most baffling thing on the list is this idea of "deterrence built on AI." I would love it if someone could lay out for me what this means. I understand how big bomb that goes boom can create a geopolitical order, but how does a chatbot that tells you to commit suicide do that?

Gravel-voiced auteur Tom Waits and trip-hop titans Massive Attack don't have much in common, but both have been pretty reluctant to put out new material.
But wait! Looks like April 16th will see some good news for fans of either (or both, as this author is).
