Scott Galloway should read this.
This piece correctly identifies capitalism, not women, as the engine profiting from male loneliness. It's a sharp analysis of how grifters and AI bros commodify isolation, creating a vicious cycle that fuels reactionary politics.
Blame capitalism for men's loneliness
There’s a lot of money to be made off angry, isolated men

Mike Johnson is obstructing the US Constitution. President Lyndon Johnson was sworn in by Sarah Hughes, a US District Court Judge for Northern District of Texas. President Calvin Coolidge was sworn in by his own father – a notary public and justice of the peace.

The Democratic Party would do well to look to the social programs of the Black Panther Party as inspiration if SNAP disappears on Saturday. Just running party-sponsored food drives and regular party-sponsored spaghetti dinners in some major cities would be both helpful and good PR.

I’m sorry, if someone has a birth certificate that proves they were born here but a mobile app with face recognition software disagrees, they will side with the app?

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Local Chicago newspaper now about 60% updates on the armed invasion of our city. Yesterday they detained two staff members of an alderman, pointed a gun at a state rep, and snatched a CPS vendor from on front of a school.
