Democrats blinked. Again. Six weeks into a GOP-made shutdown, they folded without securing ACA subsidies. Republicans saw the collapse coming and instantly pivoted to abortion. Now they're trying to extend Hyde to private insurance.

This is a "reindeer cyclone", a defensive behavior that has been observed in herds of reindeer, even in captivity.
The fawns and older animals are at the center, the strongest animal in the outer lanes.
The point is to confuse the brains of predators accustomed to stalking a single outlier.

Remember according to Republicans, 15 year old girls are actually adult women while 30-something year old men with government jobs are just wee little lads who aren't responsible for their racist and Nazi memes because boys will be boys.
Fox News displaying a poll with the first age bracket for women and men being 15-44.
Once again, 15 year olds are children.
They are kids.
They are not adults, they can’t consent to sex, and pedophilia must not be normalized.

As today is International Men's Day, it's important to highlight that male/masc individuals experiences of intimate partner violence victimisation (regardless of partner's gender) are vastly underreported.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

Sometime late in the Bush administration we as a country stopped illuminating rooms with a floodlight placed directly behind a slowly rotating industrial fan and our nation has been floundering ever since.

The amazing thing about this is that in the past Fox has led multi-day freakouts over people offering tips like this. Specifically, I remember them losing their minds over a HuffPost blog about reducing travel during Thanksgiving.
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

I remember reading a hypothesis that Sun Tzu was not a grand military general, but an accountant who wrote the book for young nobles eager to prove themselves by going to war, not knowing what they're doing, and wasting money and soldier's lives. So he wrote "Warfare for Dummies" to save money.
WHAT ANNOYING GUYS THINK SUN TZU'S ART OF WAR SAYS: show everyone in every single situation you're the big dog, literally bark in your bosses face to assert dominance
ACTUAL SUN TZU: no but seriously you do have to feed your army
