The Heritage Foundation has released a 250-year roadmap to “save America.”
The document is a how-to guide for subjugating girls & young women: a detailed plan to push them out of college, funnel them into early marriage and motherhood, and then trap them there.

We share almost 99% of our DNA with bonobos and chimps. It makes complete sense.

Children love to play pretend, holding imaginary tea parties, educating classrooms of teddies or running their own grocery stores.
Now, a new study suggests that such make-believe play is not a uniquely human talent, but a skill that great apes also possess. https://cnn.it/3Mkqaie

You don’t have to cut the morning caffeine drip to protect your brain against dementia in the future.
New research shows that daily coffee or tea –– and yes, the caffeinated kind –– is associated with better cognitive health in the long term. https://cnn.it/4rJj0TS

Told myself I'd read Ch 1 of this book and then go get other things accomplished today.

I love spending $600+ on electricity in the morning just to not have it at dinner and bath times. 🥰
Good news: It's Super Bowl Sunday, so someone is getting *much* more pissed off about this situation than I. Maybe it will be the right person, and I'll get the stove back in time for some food.

Today is just rough, and I think playing Pikmin would help.
The problem is, we don't own Pikmin, and we just spent all of our money on a new fridge and washing machine.
