Matt might still be right about the political realities. But it's like trying to bribe me with a lollipop or something

Sorry if this offends

Thank you! It was watching my sister's enthusiasm for motherhood that solidified my decision. Wrong to create a sentient being without that deep confidence that it's the right thing for you to do! You also, and you went through more than her on the way.

"Monitor breast-fed infants for drowsiness" I guess isn't technically a side effect but it is my new favorite legally required medication warning in an ad. How would you even know if an infant is differently drowsy they're always sleeping weird hours anyway! Well maybe just newborns.

Well I don't really feel any regret about my choices, to the extent they were conscious choices, and in any event they're irreversible now. But this is the closest I've come to feeling challenged.

“When so many people hesitate to have children,” Sussman writes, “what is lost is not simply future taxpayers or consumers. We miss out on the rich relationships that bond us across generations, on the flood of love and tenderness that caring for children, or simply being around them, can unleash.” She adds that the “retreat from parenthood also encapsulates a dissatisfaction with our present so extreme it has become a vote against the future.”

Met a new kind of crazy person today. Face to face she seems sort of beleaguered. But later she writes emails that combine formal politeness with wild insults. "Thank you for finding the time to meet me. I don't understand why you're trying to destroy everything I've worked to accomplish in life."

Yes. This is the best analysis. There's no "here's what they're reALLY doing" it's just that they are dumb, awful guys.

if anything I would give Henderson the most benefit of the doubt, because false allegations of child abuse during child custody disputes are basically a cliche. but there's more relevant than just whose denial is most believable of course

okay I was looking at the chords and I think it's that you do the first verse of Alibi and then start the second verse but halfway through the second verse you switch to the chorus of What's Up

Arin Arcady @rnrkd.bsky.social · 20h

Had a dream about Hurray for the Riff Raff playing "Alibi" and then seamlessly transitioning into 4 Non Blondes "What's Up" and I think maybe I could get our the guitar tonight and try to recreate that

when the best you can hope for is twenty novice dentists chained in the basement? welll

Yeah I'm basically begging to be added to the chat but I just can't have shame here! Hell, I'll install whatsapp if I must

I mean, I didn't vote for him for him not to at least try

Someone suggested they could set up the team for him and he casually agreed without seeing or caring that there's a 10% commission so it just keeps happening?

Has anyone checked in with Bear about the student protests? She always has the best stuff to say, especially if you just let her riff.

Got so fed up with a client I called her and invited her to fire me. She declined :(

"hi I'm Glenn Powell and I have something to say about how I have nothing to stay"

it used to be that there were supreme court justices who would only consider applicants who also applied to the other 8, not sure if that's still common

‘The Social Reckoning’ Already Feels Irrelevant

Probably true but I do like how, if your haircut is uniquely bad, an actor can play you just by getting the same haircut. www.wired.com/story/the-so...

Aaron Sorkin’s sequel to ‘The Social Network’ attempts to shame a ruling class that has proved itself shameless.

‘There Was Definitely a Thumb on the Scale to Get Boys’ (Published 2023)

& how is this allowed? It's because Title IX expressly permits discrimination based on sex in admitting prospective students, though it prohibits discrimination among enrolled students. Here's a good article on the situation, with some exceptional photojournalism. www.nytimes.com/2023/09/08/m...

nytimes.com

For lots of schools, sex-blind admission would yield 25/75 ratios, so admissions favor men, i.e., admitting men who would not qualify for admission as women, to get 50/50. Put another way, if UofC is favoring men, it is doing so only to a slightly greater extent than other selective schools.

Creating a Manosphere at the University of Chicago

This looks particularly significant, because of the 56/44 ratio. But in a sense the problem is actually bigger! Lots of selective schools have something like 51/49 ratios for admissions. But that's only because they favor male applicants in order to get near 50/50! chicagomaroon.com/53804/viewpo...

Why does the University of Chicago reject so many women?

Gimli needs some behavior improvements but thank goodness he's good with small children. Linda comes up and pokes his face with a pudgy finger and he just wrinkles his nose and walks off.
