The real masculinity crisis is that it took less than one generation for women to outcompete men in higher ed and home ownership once the legal barriers to both were both were removed and they are collectively losing their minds faced with the reality that they were never naturally superior.
No remote work
No assistance in childcare
No abortion
Coming for birth control
They want (white) women pregnant and at home but it won't work because they've gutted all the systems that made it possible for white women to stay at home post wwii

Hi as one of your transsexual cyber witches, you will be aware that we have recently been deemed too grotesque by the Eye of Sauron to frolic among the fae and elves.
I am asking therefore as a reasonable adjustment for the provision of a transsexual grotto.

It’s not dysfunction. It’s design. The GOP uses a ruthless disinformation playbook to confuse, divide, and exhaust the public. They don’t want you informed—they want you disoriented. Here’s how their machine works—and how we expose it.

So good! Grab the cookbook too!
Elon Musk may or may not fulfill his promise to step back from DOGE.
But his legacy is already clear: He is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system — the likes of which we have never seen in the United States.

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points
Nice and helpful read here by @michaelalewis10.bsky.social about why universal basic income is superior to guaranteed income. Targeting on the front-end introduces big problems and would be better accomplished by taxes on the back-end. UBI provides true security without stigma for all at all times.
This Podcast Will Kill You just did an ep on raw milk and a hundred years ago there was so much tuberculosis in it that when a NYC children's hospital switched from raw to pasteurized their mortality rate went from 40something % to 20something
We used to do this. Babie's died after consuming products even from "reputable" sellers. One of the biggest advocates for milk pasteurization was Nathan Strauss who lost his son to dipthertia he caught from milk. Strauss was rich. He co-owned a business called...Macy's
The $7.25 federal minimum wage is a poverty wage in every state.
Meanwhile S&P 500 CEOs made $40k/hr in 2024.
There’s a minimum wage because employers would pay less if they could, but no maximum wage because the rich write our laws to benefit the rich.
Instead of Amazon listing tariff costs next to product prices, let’s list how much companies and billionaires donated to Trump next to every executive order that made them richer — and same for Congress with the bills they pass.

I wrote about the harder, less-expensive, smaller scale, and to me most interesting part of the Mets' ongoing process of becoming a real, good baseball team. defector.com/the-mets-are...
Hi, @motherjones.com disabled disability reporter here, I really want to hear about how tariffs are impacting disabled, chronically ill, and aging folks. Reposts appreciated and my email is jmetraux@motherjones.com.
Give this a listen. Trump and Rubio are locking up people for engaging in speech, without any tangible evidence of wrongdoing or even hateful speech. So it's good to hear from the people they are demonizing.
Not all disabled people can boycott Amazon. Many are housebound with no other affordable or accessible delivery options.
Be kind. We all resist in whatever way we can.
If you want to help, offer to deliver goods to someone. Or take them shopping.
Build networks of community care.

A) Democrats should be doing blanket opposition at this point.
B) David Perdue has declared China is waging a new kind of war against the US and could be easily opposed for this specific position
C) David Perdue is a NOTORIOUS insider trader who could have been easily opposed on corruption grounds
In a world of weaponized beefing, the lawful neutral mod is very tired.
I wrote a short piece on tariffs, sabotage and the end/s of international economic law for the good people of the @lpeblog.bsky.social. I almost had a nervous breakdown writing this, so you might as well read it lpeproject.org/blog/on-tari...
But, but .. my “DOGE dividend.” 💔
