I don’t think people who aren’t regularly covering the reproductive rights beat realize how common it is for women to be incarcerated for miscarriages.

Everything is a scam that kills people now.

"Trump's offering to libertarians is to turn the nation's contempt for politicians into contempt for politics itself." (From Hayeks's Bastards by Quinn Slobodian)

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Dragonfruit does not taste good enough to look like that.

State of Florida's new mandate for public college Intro Sociology curriculum:

"The following should not be included in any course content...

"Discussions arguing a causal association between institutional sexism and unequal outcomes between men and women"

Indoctrination, not education nor science

Me: Okay, so which controversies were we supposed to teach, exactly?
Conservatives: Oh, you know the ones.

kind of amazing that everything trump does can be understood through the lens of narcissism and it's related needs (e.g., self aggrandizement, revenge, domination, grievance validation). i don't think any character has been so one-dimensional, not even wile e coyote or scrooge mcduck

Remarkable: Trump has achieved the distinction of being a Republican president who's deeply unpopular on *both* the economy *and* immigration. Those are traditional GOP strengths, and he's thrown away both of them.

Trumpism is a catastrophic failure.
