Casey is the best in the world at writing this specific kind of piece, she's been doing it since forever, we're blessed to have her curiosity and clarity on display for something that can be so nebulous both in the abstract and in attempting to visualize it concretely.
I wrote this piece because I only learned about pelvic floors a few years ago, despite having had one all my life. And then it turned out to be where I store all my issues. And then that turned out to be true for a lot of people www.wired.com/story/the-pe...
The Pelvic Floor Is a Problem
Everyone’s suddenly obsessed with the pelvic floor—physical therapists, MAHA influencers, me. Could this deeply misunderstood body part really be the seat of so much modern dysfunction?

1/ Riley Gaines is a leading face of the anti-trans movement, appearing at Trump’s signing of an executive order to ban trans girls from girls’ school sports.

But her teammate remembers a different Gaines, who expressly did not support Trump.

Gundlach has been saying stuff like this my whole career. And that was long after that bag of dildos was discovered in his drawer. (True story btw: dealbreaker.com/2010/01/jeff...)

Financial punditry is always about saying alarmist stuff because that’s what gets attention!
jeffrey gundlach went on an episode of odd lots which was released this week and casually mentioned how he thinks it would be helpful if the US defaulted on its treasury obligations and the discourse is about olivia nuzzi

My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:

Absolute must read on the AI bailout-in-progress: apparently it's not enough that lifetimes of human ingenuity and creativity have been stolen and enclosed to create generative AI and balloon billionaire wealth - much more public looting is in store...
This week Open AI walked back a call for the govt to backstop financing for its trillion dollar investments in data centers. This was only the tip of the iceberg; a slow bailout for AI firms is already underway. Read more from @ambakak.bsky.social and I in @wsj.com: www.wsj.com/opinion/you-...

i think this is true to some extent but it's easy to underestimate the extent to which society does not really care about women or children despite many ostentatious declarations to the contrary
Yes there's a lot of denial, but I've seen it: when it snaps, it snaps hard.

"Powerful men covered up child sex abuse" isn't outlandish when you've seen that happen in church, boy scouts, school athletics, and every other social pillar of your conservative middle-class life in the past few decades.
