NEW from me: The hugely popular parenting influencer Dr. Becky coined "Deeply Feeling Kids" to describe sensitive children. But some are wondering: is she actually talking about autistic kids? And is DFK a way for parents to avoid a diagnosis? My piece for @thecut.com www.thecut.com/article/deep...
Do ‘Deeply Feeling Kids’ Really Exist?
Dr. Becky’s concept is hugely influential. But is it preventing some neurodivergent children from getting diagnoses?

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years.

I wrote a book! It’s called One Bad Mother. There’s an essay on trad wives. There’s one on Casey Anthony. And there’s one on Dance Moms. It’s the only book brave enough to ask: “what if bad mom…actually good?”
It’s coming out in February 2026. Preorder here: www.simonandschuster.com/books/One-Ba...

I was raw vegan for a time, which is MUCH less extreme than raw fruitarian, back before the influencer ecosystem was in its modern form. One thing that really stood out to me was the people claiming that menstruation was the body shedding toxins and therefore it was good and healthy for it to stop.
Karolina spent years idolizing raw vegan influencers on Instagram. She went to Bali to meet them — and never came home.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I wrote about my weekend with Charlie Kirk and 3000 of his Gen Z female fans at a TPUSA event last June. As Dems compete to see who can mourn him most vocally, it’s important to point out his real legacy: inspiring very young women to lead submissive lives. www.thecut.com/article/char...

What's crazy is that we don't know who the shooter is, or what the motivation for shooting Kirk was.
But already, rhetorical charges of political terrorism, and blaming the left.

Here we go. Trump just made it unmistakably clear that it will now be absolutely open season on whoever they decide to label "the left," and that this will be pursued with the full force of the government. This could get very, very bad.
