Hi new (apparently mostly Colorado) people! I am a librarian/archivist at a private university here, I am from Kansas (6 gens back on my mom's side), and I am an abolitionist, believer in harm reduction, and the need to protect public goods and services, including but not limited to libraries.
I mean I don't know that I would wager a guess on volume but these are definitely the guys who are still married. You can add in some Gen X dads as well.
For all the far right commentary on alpha males, you know who probably gets consistently laid the most right now… millennial Dads that unload the dishwasher. The early 2000s college men that actually viewed their girlfriend as an equal member of society are some of the most stable marriages ever.

NEW: Dems easily flipped the sheriff's office in Pennsylvania's Bucks County, a big swing county in the Philly suburbs.
So? The incumbent GOP sheriff had contracted with ICE. His Dem challenger promised to end the contract.
Now he wants other swing-state Dems to look at his victory as a lesson:

Joyce Carol Oates is indeed the Azealia Banks of literature.
I’m not active on Twitter anymore but if I were I’d be so annoyed that I stopped following Joyce Carol Oates over some previous horrible take. Joyce Carol Oates is the Azealia Banks of literature. Embarrassing but very entertaining and often deadly towards people who deserve it
oh my god

I was suspicious that Oscar Isaac could get hotter, I was wrong.
OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

We're closing in on having a trillionaire and the government remains shut down and food assistance is being withheld largely because it might result in public details about our current president's connection to a sex trafficker. Did I miss any of the high points?
