i love how bsky posters are so eager to appear worldly and wise that they'll jump to say "AND YOU'RE SURPRISED????" to the craziest shit that's ever happened. if bluesky existed on 9/11/01 you fucking bet these people would out here with "obviously, everyone with a brain cell could see this coming"

why have reporters, politicians, influencers, etc. all of a sudden seem to have started holding lapel mics to talk into them? it’s a lapel mic, it’s specifically designed to go on your shirt or lapel, you look ridiculous holding it, stop it.

I think we should reallocate all of ICE’s funding to the CFPB, and throw Russ Vought in jail
Happy Thanksgiving from the CFPB!

Or to put it another way:

If our solution to child sexual abuse online is to ban kids from the internet, then we really just gave up on making the internet safe.

And good god. Adults don’t deserve constant harassment and exploitation either.

Vichy comes up a lot but it was a much more plausible (however immoral) calculation to think you were picking the long-term winning side in 1940, than to think in Jan 2025, yeah, this is gonna be a stable, lasting, consolidated authoritarian regime I should tie myself to for decades into the future.

we gotta keep hammering over and over again just how fucking unpopular this guy is with every institution and every person in a position of power

people hate him and people will hate you for capitulating to him
Enten: "This is probably the worst 10 day period for the president in the polls his entire second term. The numbers are just atrocious ... when your best poll has you 14 points underwater, you know it's truly bad and it's as bad as 26 points underwater ... -43 with independents! They despise him."

when people talk about the excesses of MeToo-era feminism, I do think it's important to keep in mind the culture that it was responding to.

This is a great piece. I have had five endometriosis surgeries and a c-section. Pelvic floor PT is a godsend.
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?

There is even a virtually silent pandemic of pelvic pain, for men and women, because no one wants to talk about any of this, because your pelvic floor is where all the Bad Things happen (pee, poop, sex). Fortunately I will do anything in the name of journalism, including… well, you’ll see

In talking to people about this I learned that many think, for instance, men don’t even have pelvic floors. Buddy, do you ever

It’s also a reminder that the Internet actually used to be (somewhat) safer. All the biggest platforms used to spend more on safety and content moderation.

It wasn’t perfect, but it was much, much better than the dystopia we’re in now that they’ve decided to cater to the most violent users instead.
