Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

The thing is, feminists have long had fluent, evidence-backed arguments showing that breaking free of essentialised gender roles benefits everyone, including men and boys who may be feeling isolated.
But we live in societies structured on ignoring women, so instead we hear from these guys...

NEW — I spoke to DoorDash about the White House claiming the company's report shows "inflation has been tamed" and whether that's an interpretation one should make. An economist also weighed in, pointing out dictatorships use data obfuscation as a tool, and right now they're "grasping at straws."
WH claims 'inflation tamed,' per DoorDash stats. Company says that's not in its report.
It comes the same week we learned the WH would likely not release key economic reports for October.

I honestly don’t know how you can even have a society when people’s baseline understanding of the *basic facts of events* are so disparate and contradictory.
People living in different universes based off their media diet, and all of it designed for maximum “engagement”, not understanding.

As with Ballymena, what's useful about the DUP's acquiescence to far right fearmongering about migrants is that it's so very clearly just about the racism.
Net migration to NI *for the past 22 years* amounts to less than 62,000 people. That's less than 3k a year, in a state of 1.9 million people.

can also run this backwards: we watched the development of mass incarceration, waves of repression of anti-police brutality protests, and a spiraling post 9/11 surveillance and detention apparatus. we shouldn't wonder how a president in 2025 could decide the guys with guns can do whatever they want
I can’t understand the mindset of a person who sees masked snatch squads disappearing people off the street and thinks “This will never affect me.” How do you convince yourself that once it finishes with all the Bad People the state’s paramilitary kidnapping function is going to disband itself.
