The President who was doing flyovers at Daytona and golfing through his presidency wants an accounting of every federal employee’s work week or they will be fired. This while Elon Musk won’t account for any of his time to Congress.

There is a too-large subset of this population who want kids to suffer because “they had it bad and got through it just fine” If you want kids to feel the pain you did, you are not “just fine”

There's no mandate to hire unqualified women or POC. That's a straw man. They're against the effort to ensure that people from diverse, historically suppressed populations are included when deliberating who is best for a job, yet these same people support affirmative action for legacy admissions

It's no coincidence that Musk's companies are soaring in value as the regulatory agencies that were investigating or suing them are being gutted. The DOGE agenda isn't about "efficiency" — it's about Musk freeing himself from any accountability so he can line his pockets.

We're rewatching New Girl and my 12 yo walked by during the episode where Jess walks in on a naked Nick and he goes "more like a thumbnail" which is like the most epic burn I've ever heard We told him to write it down and use it in his college years

parents of kids with special needs who voted for Trump should beg their children's forgiveness daily because it was clear he and his eugenics-based Christian nationalists were going to make life worse for everyone but wealthy cis white men with self-esteem issues www.thenation.com/article/soci...
