goebbels saw hitler kill himself, lived one day as the chancellor of germany in which his only action was to officially surrender, and then he and his wife killed themselves after his wife helped a doctor kill their six children

Thank you NYT for this interminable and meandering essay about how Democrats don’t understand that life is about more than owning possessions, citing sources like Compact and JD Vance. Nothing I love more than being lectured about the rural mystique by a Vanity Fair writer for like 8000 words

In that moment, I saw before me — with an inner tremor — the path that too many of my neighbors had taken. Without steady, decently paying employment, they took on physically demanding day labor, got hurt, relied on painkillers and slid into a downward spiral.
