Just the usual misogyny, normal stuff
Looking at the disparity along traditional gender lines makes this much easier to figure out, doesn't it?

Definitely this. Use your own biorhythms to your advantage! I have no idea why but I get a burst of energy around 9 and get tons of chores done if I don't talk myself out of it for how it looks to the neighbors
Also, write up a budget for energy the same way you write one for money

A beloved conservative trope is "queer degeneracy".
Here, nations fall to transgressive permissiveness. Men are effete, women are macho. Children are victims of orgiastic liberality.
Epstein's emails are a reminder of the sad truth: a reliable predictor of abuse is just men with unchecked power.

Under the Big Ugly Bill, Alphabet gets $17.9B in tax breaks. That could pay for SNAP benefits for 7.5 million Americans.
Amazon gets $15.7B. That could lower ACA premiums for 2.4 million people.
Microsoft gets $12.5B. That could cover Medicaid for 3.8 million children.

I'm not up-to-speed on New Glenn specs (thrust to weight ratio, etc.); but most Mars missions launch with some kind of "heavy" configuration with multiple boosters. This thing is going up with a single tube. Pretty impressive to put something into space that will escape Earth's grip.

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

Yea, America didn't deal with their Nazi problem at all
I don’t think the Nazis completely lost, hence the Strom Thurmond and KKK phenomena. I think they regrouped and they’re back to try to finish what they started.
