In case you thought you were safe bc you aren't one of his currently identified enemies to kidnap and deport, take a look at this line:
"and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States, or is incapable of loving our Country..."
No one is safe when a bully is in charge.

A Google software engineer won his battle against MetLife to receive disability benefits for Long Covid.
This is huge
Long Covid has a lot of stigma attached to it and it can be hard to get disability.
You’re told to “try harder”.
It’s “not that bad”.
You can “still work”.
Not everyone can

Let’s be clear that this is misogyny. You can take issue with unethical professional behavior, and I do. But we are WAY WAY past that discussion, this is just general slut-shaming.
And also George is just clearly VERY VERY JEALOUS here.

I’ve talked before about how AI represents the inevitable outcome of techbros’ lack of distress tolerance for the messy business of relating to and interacting with other human beings
but I think the logical outcome of having that skill issue humored is becoming unable to relate to yourself, either

Nothing reveals the hollowness of AI “creativity” more than listening to its enthusiasts talk about it
Like, any argument that it’s democratizing making art (I hear someone compare it to Photoshop!!!) is pretty quickly undermined by evidence that these people don’t like making art

we just got to the point where they actually had to research women’s bodies and the effects of drugs on women and that golden era of science and medicine lasted <checks notes> maybe 9 years, but don’t worry, everyone, it’s over now
They shelved women's bodies. Fuck women, who cares about them anyway?

you love to see girls doing projects together
“Eighty-five percent of violent coalitions are led by females seeking to keep males in check, demonstrating that their ferocity is clearly functional: to prevent them from becoming like chimpanzees. In some communities, females win 100% of conflicts, showing that their dominance is structural.”

Scientists: surely the happy monkeys aren’t destroying the genitals of a male who tried to commit infanticide so his genes don’t get passed on! Surely female sexual selection can never take violent forms!
Surely that has nothing to do with their otherwise peaceful, pleasure-oriented society!

I want white women to want better for themselves. You don't have to shag a catcher's mitt
The women drawn to RFK Jr. see an intoxicating cocktail of romance and danger—whether it's getting attacked by a yak or texting about taking metaphorical bullets for each other.
But to most others, Kennedy is a reckless conspiracy theorist whose appetite for danger will result in a sicker America.

How can such ferocious desire be attached to this man? Two memoirs by the women who love him offer some clues.
