'Why are high fertility people always so weird?' A weekend with the pronatalists

If you uncritically share a Liz Bruenig pro-natalist piece you don’t get to then whinge about people being mean to you and assuming you’re a crazy pro-natalist as well. You’re a columnist for a well-known media outlet who’s been in the business for years. You’re not immune to criticism.

19 years old and she’s already got lip fillers. She’s gonna look 40 by the time she’s 25. Also her husband looks exactly like the kind of man who was chasing a 17-year-old when he was 20.

Something I’ve always found cosmically ironic about the eugenicist power couple is that both of them wear glasses. “We’ve got superior genes, just the best genes, oh and also we’re both genetically predisposed to have vision problems.”

BREAKING: Washington lawmakers passed a bill Thursday that will end clergy-penitent privilege for cases of child abuse, sending the legislation to the governor’s desk after a three-year effort by its sponsor. favs.news/washington-c... #clergy #Washington #catholicfaith

cannot fucking believe that there are people who say “Schumer is a coward for not shutting down the government” but then also “the democrats should help the republicans give government dollars to the people for free”

Anakin, after tasting BBQ for the first time: “Is it possible to learn this power?” Palpatine: “…Not…from a vegan.”

I live in the Dune universe but I'm somewhere else when all that stuff is going on. I have a job and a mortgage. Sometimes I rub synthetic Spice cream on my wrists when they get achey. A Harkonnen once killed three of my cousins with a spear

Why did they call it “Unstoppable” instead of “No Brakes on a Train”

more than anything I just... these are fake geek boys. Lara Croft has... a certain number of Canonical Characteristics that she basically needs to have in any representative image. One of those is being extremely conventionally gorgeous, but at least as central as that is *the guns and/or bows*

Among the questions that pop into my head occasionally which I absolutely never want answered; Is Karoline Leavitt in competition with Laura Loomer for Trump’s attentions?

A lawyer on Twitter got so livid with me when I asked what the point of going to law school was if the 5th Circuit purposefully misinterprets the law to fit their ideology and I stand by that

Paul Krugman was told he can’t write about the same topic twice because the second time is Old News and yet the NYT runs five or six profiles of Chris Rufo every year

Gamers, you shouldn’t be concerned about the rumors of $90 Switch 2 games. That’s only for BOTW, an 8-year-old game that was originally intended as a Wii U exclusive. (Also the tariffs will make it so the Switch 2 costs like 2 grand if it’s even available)

Within less than 24 hours of each other. I wonder if they even realize these are connected.

I wonder if we could somehow trick Elon into defunding POTUS’ Secret Service detail.

We really need to stop sending crayon-eaters to Congress

For anyone who hasn’t gotten into the habit yet: One thing about alt text is that it makes it MUCH easier to find an old post a few months from now. You’re not just making your posts more accessible for others today, you’re also doing future you a favor.

Imagine not realizing who looks bad in this scenario

It's considered uncouth to say this but the entire impetus of the antivaxx movement is the idea that having an autistic child is worse than a dead child
