I’m gonna assume this is a lie because most of what they say is lies but if this is true that’s a yearly GDP contraction of 5.5% which would without a doubt crash the economy.

Uecker is dead. No tribute can do him justice. He lived a long life, and was himself to the end. He went like I think he wished to go; quietly, without distraction to the team. But I want to offer some thoughts in what is a very upsetting time for many people.

I’m no Pence fan, but I’m team Karen on this one. Why shake Trump’s hand? He wanted her husband unalived!

Here's a thread, it's a bit long. I had a positive and humbling experience here this week that I’d like to tell you about. I sort of have a black belt in saying the wrong thing and inadvertently offending large groups of people, but I actually learned and grew from it this week.

1. Donald Trump isn’t yet in office, but some critics are acting like he’s already done himself in. They point to Tuesday’s press conference, in which he said absolutely insane things. He plans to rename the Gulf of Mexico. He might annex Canada by “economic force.” Just crazy.

Cannot stress enough to you how you should watch The Turnaround on Netflix.
Why aren’t you just watching it now?
It’s only 20-something minutes.
Or at least later tonight.
Don’t pull that shit where you say you’ll watch it but never actually will.
Watch it now!
It’s 20-something minutes.

i hate to be a monocausal guy but i really think this discussion of masculinity, trade school, the gendering of education etc is beating around the bush. male democrats have seen no sizable drop in their desire to attend college. female republicans have. it’s about politics.

It's not just in regard to college enrollment that we don't talk about misogyny, it's pretty much everything.
Many of us bloggers talked about Dobbs and the fury of women during the runup to the election. There was much less in the news and practically no notice in the polls.

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
We would rather talk about literally everything else.

Brief thread on how we got here: Since the GOP won control of the House 2 years ago they have not passed a single appropriations package into law. Government has operated at funding levels set by Dems 2 years ago via continuing resolutions every few months. This is not normal.
