New York Times happy to lend a hand. (And if you don’t think this headline is directly related to women losing the vote, I don’t know what to tell you.)
A NY Times headline that reads “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” with the subheader “And can conservative feminism fix it?” Authors credited are Ross Douthat (no! what an absolute shock! how is it possible etc etc) and playing the part of Uncle Tom tonight, Victoria Chamberlin. I do appreciate that the subheader lets me know that, yes, in fact, women DID ruin the workplace, without having to raise my blood pressure by reading the article. Though I will admit to some morbid curiosity about what “conservative feminism” could possibly be. Something akin to war is peace, or freedom is slavery, one presumes.

Well this is a big yikes, indicating she is, at best, not well-versed in the needs of LGBTQ+ people:
A screenshot from the article that reads, “She also cited her support for the Kids Online Safety Act, mentioning an uptick in bullying of LGBTQ+ youth.”

Hey @nytimes.com, I fixed it for you. Feel free to
reach out before publication in the future!
The original NYTimes headline, “U.S. expands its antidrug campaign, striking a boat in the Pacific off Colombia.” has the phrase, “antidrug campaign” struck out and the more accurate, “extrajudicial killings” inserted in its place.

Deeply amused that this sweater is absurdly Chicagoan:

White House visitors now being forced to exit via the gift shop is honestly the most American thing imaginable.
European leaders Macron, Zelensky, and Stubb stand in a semi-circle in front of the American president, who is showing off a “4 MORE YEARS” hat from a bookcase filled with MAGA-branded merch.

Our bonded pair:
Large grey tabby spooning and grooming the head of a smaller grey and orange torbie. Large grey tabby spooning the smaller grey and orange torbie as both snooze in a barely-big-enough cat bed. The two cats are similarly enough colored that, aside from their heads, it seems almost impossible to tell where one begins and the other ends.

Why does RFK Jr want to restrict Americans’ medical freedom? It is not a popular stance.
A bar graph from Date For Progress showing that among all voters, 71% endorse the idea that “People should be able to get vaccinated regardless of whether their immune system is compromised or not.” The percent of Democrats who endorsed this statement was 78%, with 76% of Independents, and 68% of Republicans agreeing. In other words, the vast majority of Americans want to make up their own minds about whether or not to get a vaccine. They do not want the government gate-keeping who gets vaccines and who does not. (To be fair, that last part is my interpretation of the graph.)

Ok, last chance!! One of these is news. The other is a story about one particular woman. Can you find the one that is news, @washingtonpost.com? We’re all pulling for you!
Screen shot of a story from the Washington Post from today at 1:05pm, with the headline “She marched against Trump in 2017. Now, she says, ‘just let it all burn.’ (Also not my photo) Picture of Daley Plaza in Chicago from a much higher floor, showing not only the crowd in the plaza but also the crowd that is spilling over into the surrounding streets. There were at least 30,000 people who turned out today in Chicago, to say nothing of those in other towns and cities, from LA to NYC to towns I have never before heard of. Millions of Americans showed up today. This one is news.

This one is not my photo, but maybe it will help you figure out which story is actual news, @washingtonpost.com:
Screen shot of a story from the Washington Post from today at 1:05pm, with the headline “She marched against Trump in 2017. Now, she says, ‘just let it all burn.’ Photo of people at Daley Plaza in Chicago today, taken from a few stories up so you can see the magnitude of the crowd, reported to be at least 30,000. Of course, that is just one city out of hundreds of towns and cities all over the U.S. with people who showed up today.

Hey @washingtonpost.com, a quick question for you: which one of these is news?
Screen shot of a story from the Washington Post from today at 1:05pm, with the headline “She marched against Trump in 2017. Now, she says, ‘just let it all burn.’ A photo of part of the crowd at Daley Plaza in Chicago today, showing just a portion of the 30,000+ who showed up, which does not include the people who showed up in a dozen Chicago suburbs like Oak Park and Evanston, and also does not count the millions who showed up in cities and towns, big and small, across the nation today.

From Chicago’s Daley Plaza and subsequent march #HandsOff
Crowd shot focused on a sign with a simple upside down crown that reads NO KINGS Crowd shot focused on a sign that has musical notes drawn all over it and that says “I just met you, this is crazy! Here’s my #, so text me top secret war plans about bombing countries” Crowd shot focused on a sogn that says “BRING KILMAR HOME NOW” Crowd shot centered on a woman looking resolute while holding a sign that reads “WHEN INJUSTICE BECOMES LAW, RESISTANCE BECOMES DUTY”

Is…is the AI used to create this picture making a joke here?
A zoomed in picture of the sugary coffee drink the AI-created white woman is holding. The side of the plastic cup has two and a half white letters that can be made out, which appear to be B, L, and perhaps half of an M. The same pic as the first, with the BLM on the cup highlighted with a black text “BLM” over the white on the cup.

A two panel meme with Principal Skinner from The Simpsons. In the first panel, Principal Skinner says “Am I out of touch?” In the second panel, he concludes, “No, it is the Pope who is wrong.”

Thank you for sharing - absolute inanity. I chuckled out loud not once but twice:
Clip from a remarkably inappropriate unsolicited email full of “advice” and “random” quotation” “marks.” The clip contains the phrases: “You come ‘off’ as condescending” and “Your eyes are the most dominant muscle,” both of which are delightfully nonsensical.

I still totally support trans issues! Just because I literally voted to take away your kid’s health care doesn’t mean I am not supportive! I HAVE A FLAG AND EVERYTHING!!!
A quote in which Senator John Fetterman claims to be fully supportive of trans rights immediately after voting yes on the NDAA, which will strip gender affirming care from children of service members: “My vote does not, in any way…mean I’m turning my back on the trans community.” Outside my office I have several flags including…the Progress Pride flag…”

Ok, this didn’t answer my question, but it gave me some idea of the state of things:

Huh.
Simone claims her husband “literally does everything” for their kids after they are 18 months old. Simone discovers that Torsten, her 2 year old, has taken off his poopy diaper and now has poop on his hands. “She runs off to attend to Torsten,” while her husband continues to talk to the journalist. Torsten, her two year old. Also known as twenty-four months.

In case anyone is having a hard time picturing it, I drew the graph he proposed:
A graph with frequency on the y-axis and three categories labelled on the x-axis: intersex, male, and female. Above the intersex label, we see a small hand-drawn molehill. Its height is maybe 1/10 of the possible height on the graph. Above the male and female labels are representations of the current height of the twin towers in NYC. (For those of you unfamiliar with 9/11, the twin towers were destroyed in 2001, 23 years ago this September, so their current height is zero.)

It’s in high contrast to the recent brochure we received, which seemed to be talking about a lot of different things while using several different font faces/sizes/styles/cases. Also with extraneous bullet points and numbers, just for fun I guess?

It’ll be interesting to see who truly has the most die-hard fans:
