"Authorities told WBTV that adults must be held accountable in these types of incidents and should ensure their children are in a safe environment. The driver of the SUV has not been charged at this time, per WCNC."

This is true, but it’s deeply, viscerally upsetting that we need to coddle these people to avoid even worse outcomes. We have to treat them like children. “He lied to you, it’s okay to admit it, let’s work together.”

[norman rockwell guy] i think a specialist in a subject who wants the public to know more and care more about that subject has a responsibility to meet the public where they are instead of deliberately provoking them with pedantry

Some back of the napkin math: there are approx two trans kids in each high school in America, only 1-in-4 queer kids play sports, half of people who plays sports play intramural, and almost everyone who plays sports is bad or middling at it. Ppl are literally talking about one or two trans athletes

vocal opposition to democratic gerontocracy is nifty because it serves a constructive purpose — passing the torch — and a political one: signaling independence from The Democrats.

During the pandemic, the US implemented the most effective social welfare policies in our history -- programs that worked because they were big enough, simple, and universal. And then we withdrew them. This remains imo the central economic-policy story of our times. davisvanguard.org/2025/05/3hou...

“I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” And “Politics gets people angry, destroys relationships, and polarizes peoples’ vision: the world is us versus them; good people versus the other. Politics is about interfering with other people’s lives without their consent.”

Yes. Specifically a surveillance state targeted at the users of machines that kill ~40,000 people per year and send ~3,000,000 to the hospital Literally every driving infraction should be caught and punished.

Republicans saw that college education relates strongly with voting Democrat, saw college enrollment rates rising, and made a plan.

As always - it cannot be overstated that the electorate is not just uninformed, they are *actively wrong* about many important things and find attempts to educate them on basic facts to be condescending

All the “I hate men” / “young men in crisis” stuff is so fucking funny to me on a certain level because me and all my homies are *crushing it* on the traditional success markers and any attempt to tell people what worked for us would be considered simultaneously ultra woke garbage and manosphere bs
