I would also like this to exist! I’ve tried the Openvibe ipad app on my Mac, but the type is too small for my aged eyes.

Yeah. It’s such a shame that in the process of becoming white in America, the Italians hitched their wagon to that dude. Still holding out hope for Sacco and Vanzetti Day.

And if we need an Italian heritage figure, there are so many better options.

When the Supreme Court struck down Biden's policies, it was tempting to think: "At least these limits on executive authority will bind Trump if he comes back into office." But no—the court's skepticism of executive power vanished on Jan. 20, 2025. This dynamic is obvious to anyone paying attention!

I have an evidence-free theory that finances drive many decisions about when to have kids and whether to have zero/one/two (related decisions, as in Silly’s example), but those decisions are largely masked by the general trend of women’s education and opportunities driving overall numbers down.

I know you’re a newish parent and all, but a write up on your setup for this sounds pretty interesting!

Yeah, this is bullshit.
