It is crazy the knots some men will tie themselves into rather than just admit that the feminists were correct and patriarchy is real
For sure man: Larry Summers, Peter Thiel, Ehud Barak, Peter Mandelson, Bill Gates, and basically every other oligarch, power broker and political bigwig in the western power structure were all taken in by a devious Russian plot to enact the precise policy suite they’ve espoused their entire careers.

What if? And hear me out, your obsession with your own children above and beyond doing the right thing, is selfishness? What if you are modeling for your children an extreme indifference that you will hand down to create children who always put their own safety and comfort above everything else?

NYTimes almost always gets this stuff up slightly later than twitter, as do most newspapers of record, because of how the Process works. I also don't think we can really judge what shows up on the NYT "front page" because it's not the "Front page" anymore, it's an algorithm and changes
Searched the NYT home page for updates on the Don Lemon arrest, this was the only "Lemon" result

Yes! The boomers are totally taken in. But we should also not let kids on there. In fact we could shut it all down. Flip the switch

What's remarkable about @catholicclod.bsky.social 's piece here is that its broad mass appeal is somehow so intimate and specific. Using Marx and James Baldwin, even Ruthie, to help struggle towards forgiveness/closure is something we can all find useful. www.commonwealmagazine.org/forgiving-my...
Forgiving My Mother’s Killer
From the universalist faith that God will redeem everyone, I gained a surprising gift: the capacity to forgive my mother, the woman who murdered her, and myself.

They were stored in a plastic bag, before ending up in a junk shop where Oliver Croy found them in the early 2010s.
