Experts disagreed on whether portions of the facade of the White House were literally being torn down by an excavator. A spokesperson for Just Rip It To Shreds With A Fucking Excavator, a nonpartisan environmental policy think-tank, said that the photographs were “unconvincing Marxist propaganda”.

Government shutdown hasn’t left consumers glum about the economy – for now, at least

We need to talk about how social media algorithms push moms down a slippery slope of distrust.

From "Are my kids getting enough support in school?" To "Maybe I should homeschool." To "Maybe modern medicine is bad."

Among Black and White adults, we find that low-SES Whites report the most bodily pain and goal-striving stress (i.e., thwarted aspirations), and are the only ones to report positive links btwn GSS and pain. We unpack research, policy, and clinical implications.
