No, I am not worried about 'declining' birth rates, I accept them as post-modern birth rates, the birth rates that naturally happen once the conditions are set that children can be expected to survive to adulthood reliably and that women are allowed to be educated and become full citizens.
it’s unreal how these grown-ass men had no problem destroying untold lives with chatGPT but go crying to a judge when people make fun of them online

it's kinda funny to just say out loud that your plan is to charge rent on thinking
Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt
None of them can talk coherently about strategy or goals but they are completely in sync in all their macho posturing because that is all they’re really focused on. Everything else is just whatever limply offered fiction is convenient to them at the time.

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
A rabbit in overalls and a goat in pants are sitting on the ground drawing pictures. The rabbit is saying “ART POSES A THREAT TO CORPORATOLRATIC SYSTEMS BECAUSE A PURPOSE OF ART IS TO REMIND THE INDIVIDUAL OF THEIR INHERENT AUTONOMY.”, the goat adds “THEIR HUMANITY.”

RIP Militant Mary you would have hated billionaires

Emailing the CEO of Arizona Iced Tea and letting him know the CVS near me is charging $1.09 for the 22oz and he sends a drone to level the building in a fury of fire and rage
thinking about how Savannah Guthrie had to cancel her trip to work the Olympics because of her mom’s kidnapping but the guy who heads up the investigative body handling the case was posting pictures of himself in the US hockey locker room today lol

Reminder to Texans that tomorrow (Monday) is the last day to register to vote in the March elections
That is an AMAZING ad. Standing ovation.
The dismissal of women activists as "wine moms" is misogyny whether it comes from the right or from the left and I am just so very tired
Copy of a January 12, 1975, wire service article in the January 13, 1975, edition of the New York Times headlined, “Air Force Panel Recommends Discharge of Major Who Challenged ‘Failsafe’ System.”
Copy of an undated (but circa January 1975) Washington Post article headlined, “AF Seeks to Oust Major Over Missile Safeguards.”
An official black and white portrait of Major Harold Hering in uniform around the time of his discharge from the Air Force.
Today in 1975, a USAF board of inquiry ruled 38-year-old Maj. Harold Hering, a decorated pilot with 20 years of service, be discharged because two years earlier—during ICBM combat crew training at Vandenberg AFB—he asked how he would know a launch order was lawful and came from a rational president.
This is how they played The First of Us

Oh so you CAN charge presidents with crimes
A forlorn landscape of layered rocks in the foreground, with hills fading into the background haze. At upper top right, a small crescent moon, and a bright star.
Open up this picture fully.
Then look at the surface of Mars.
Then look up to the top right.
Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.
Then notice the bright spot beside Phobos.
That's Earth.
it is extremely funny that RFK both does not believe in the germ theory of disease and is a lab leak truther
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or high—no wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.
