One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

Past time for Wharton to revoke his degree. Or if not, to revoke Wharton’s accreditation.
there is no available evidence that donald trump understands what a tariff is, what a trade deficit is, and what the national debt is.
The way Trump talks about the problems he caused by unilaterally imposing tariffs is fairly insane, even by his standards.

Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

A big part of the Baltimore–Washington Parkway is under federal control (National Park Service) so they don’t have to coordinate with state & local authorities. I would take I-95 as an alternate where there is much higher traffic volume.
ICE is now setting up racial profiling checkpoints to stop people on major US highways. These checkpoints are being seen near Washington, DC on the Baltimore-Washington Pkwy, on the DC/Maryland border.

Since Jan 20, the least misleading description of events might be this:

A pro-Russian coup d’État led by a Republican president, with active support from the Republican majorities in Congress and on the Supreme Court, unopposed by the leaders of the Democratic Party and its elected officials.
The cumulative effect of the whole unitary executive line of cases (and adjacent things like Chadha) would have been, if done in one fell swoop, easily recognized as an executive-judicial coup against the legislature.

One amazing aspect of birding in Central Park is how close you can get to many birds. This Red-tailed Hawk was hunting so close to me, I could barely get it in frame! 🥰🥰🥰 #hawks #CentralPark #birding

Can I let you in on a little secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity.

It’s PR to distract you from low wages, labor exploitation, and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

Every 10 minutes, a woman is killed by someone who once claimed to love her. A quiet truth: violence thrives in the spaces where society refuses to look. Before we debate “male loneliness,” maybe we should confront the loneliness of women begging to survive.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

People do desperate things when they are starved and/they can’t feed their children.

This is all part of their plan to bring civil unrest.
