I wonder if any one of these 'estranged parent' influencers has thought about putting even one iota of the effort and intention into saving their relationships with their kids as they do into self-promotion.
Welcome to the pissed-off parent pushback: After years of therapists and others encouraging adult children to cut ties with families they deem harmful or “toxic,” estranged parents are speaking out on.wsj.com/4s49U52

Agreed, it’s funny and obviously cynical… but have you met any frat dudes? Categorically rich boys, undeniably “dudes.”
I’m sorry, but a goofy looking guy who grew up a privileged son of a pediatrician and has a phd in social theory from the university of Goethe and started in tech by investing an inheritance left to him by his grandfather talking about being a “dude” is very, very funny to me.

Incredible optics from a political mastermind
Andrew Cuomo being driven around at low speeds in a white Bronco seems fitting for this great respecter of women. Where did he even find a white Bronco in NYC?

At what point does the global order just... ignore this shit and conduct business amongst themselves, completely cutting the US out?
This is quite a story: the US employed every strongarm tactic available, including personal threats against delegates and their families, to derail an agreement on reducing shipping emissions that was almost finalized. on.ft.com/47lq3dZ

You know, I don’t always agree with everything Trump does, but demolishing the East Wing is, in fact, punk as fuck.

It’s almost like permitted parades aren’t going to right this ship.
The largest mass protests by number of participants in US history happened yesterday and the only mention on the front page of the NYT is Jamelle Bouie's opinion column: no diner-diving for sentiments of the unheard masses, no coverage of the Trump video, no sense for what it says about the moment.

Even if you believe this guy’s tepid lip service would lead to real policy, Israelis have no appetite for peaceful co-existence. Only blood. You can’t “both sides” your way out of that reality.
Pod Save America: Do you think it's time to recognize a Palestinian state?
Pete Buttigieg: I think that that's a profound question that arouses a lot of the biggest problems that have happened with Israel's survival, Israel's right to survival, in the diplomatic scene.

All the dire implications notwithstanding it is hilarious how evil this technology is. Billions of dollars spent on this greasy lying stupid thing that was literally built to replace people, and everyone that uses it gets weaker, lazier, dumber, and sadder for having done so. Well done all around.

Long story short, the GZA sat at my bar w this really annoying regular. He refused to order a drink directly from me or the other bartender. Instead, he had his friend, the-annoying-regular, order a gin and tonic for him, no ice, no fruit. Just a rocks glass of lukewarm GT.
