Can you imagine Trump watching Corrections and trying to make sense of it? Amazing. It would be amazing.

Child marriage is legal in USA. Age varies by state, but we have always had it with parental consent. This is ofc the problem, since these unions tend to be arranged by parents.

Absolutely. Trotting out Megyn Kelly to say "it's not child rape if the victim is a young-looking 15-year-old" is just step one of the upcoming rehabilitation of serial sexual predator Donald Trump.

Get ready for an avalanche of grotesque justifications & victim-blaming. It's coming.

Employers were looking at keeping their costs down by certifying their workforces didn't have med problems, shopping for a discount on the group plan.

While mostly healthy back in the day I had enough maybe problems that I couldn't be insured except by employer insurance. And not a lot of people remember this, but that was getting iffy.

Remember kids: trying to solve social problems with pretty technology always ends in tears, blood, and sometimes even genocide!

There was a point where I wanted to help bsky. These days I don't think there's a point. I'll watch it sink slowly into another billionaire doom project and not get emotionally attached.
