Wouldn't it be cute and cool if instead of senators being really really really old they were instead really really really young? I'm talking six-months-old young. You get to keep the diapers and spit up in play, and staffers can continue to divine policy positions from their bosses' grunts and wails

This is such an excellent piece on the so-called “masculinity crisis.” www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

it drives me actually insane to have people romanticizing subsistence agriculture as if that's not just playing russian roulette with your family's lives year by year, and that every single one of their ancestors would throttle them for suggesting giving up their email jobs

Women ruin the workplace. And women's rightful workplace is the home. Therefore women must get out of the house before they wreck that too

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The odds that Trump is going to accidentally invent single payer healthcare are zero.
This would be an HSA that would cover the cost of ivermectin and some bandaids. That’s it.

Air pollution from AI could surpass that of all the cars in California

Here’s how sleep training went for us: we started it around 5.5 months because nothing was soothing her. She was yelling whether she was being rocked or fed. She wasn’t sleeping. We weren’t sleeping. So I was losing it and at the advice of some dear friends we decided to try Ferber for two weeks

I love when some parents are like "hey if you take ten minutes to go take a shit and your baby is crying, you've actually taught them that no one will comfort them ever and they won't love you and you have DESTROYED them"

"Conservative Feminism" is that like... "women should be empowered to be subservient to men, not just in the home but everywhere"?

the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

But now with wokeness, what’s happening is, they’re saying girls get to go to college, okay, fine, we can all support that. But they still want to get more stupider.
