This is a truly excellent piece on why low birth rates are simply not a problem, and why pronatalism is clearly being promoted for political, not scientific and not practical, reasons
The rise of app-based sports gambling was the result of a Supreme Court opinion written by Sam Alito applying a doctrine invented by Antonin Scalia. Also sports gambling is not legal in Minnesota

The Department of Justice is quietly restarting a decades-dormant program to restore gun rights to felons. One of them was an alleged fake elector in 2020.

The Scottish edition of the Sunday Express newspaper published a front page article by Paula Murray on 8 March 2009, "Anniversary Shame of Dunblane Survivors",[1] which was critical of survivors of the Dunblane massacre, by then aged 18 and 19, for posting "shocking blogs and photographs of themselves on the Internet". The "shocking" content, read from the survivors' social networking pages, with Bebo being mentioned in the article, included colloquial language and some swearing, mentions of sex and alcohol and joking references to a confrontation (interpreted by the tabloid as a "boast" about "getting in fights") and to being a "Scottish terrorist" in London. The article received a great deal of negative attention given the tenuous grounds for making the attacks. Survivors and members of the public complained to the UK Press Complaints Commission.[2][3][4]
Today was the 30th anniversary of Scotland’s first and only school shooting, which is also a day to remember how a right-wing tabloid cyberstalked the survivors waiting for them to turn 18, in order to run a front page smear attack on them for…having grown up to be normal teenagers on the internet.
I'm telling you, boring old lawyers are now going to ABA panels to applaud hostile retorts to MAGA panelists and yell "you're a clown" at them.
A whole lot of people who merely furrowed their brows at Trump I are now seething with rage, and the Dem consultant class needs to wake up to that.
Americans are dying so that Kushner can make money
Sheriffs across the country make it a point to publish booking photos of every person they arrest and they run them in the local paper.
yesssssss
Democrats have voted four times to keep the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shut down. On Friday, over 100,000 airport security workers missed a full paycheck as a result, and travelers are facing up to four-hour security lines. Critically, DHS protects Americans from terror attacks, cyber threats and assassinations – all tactics used by Iran. Democrats are risking Americans’ safety with their partisan shutdown. I’m pushing to fund DHS and put an end to this reckless, nonsensical partisanship.
Got this email from Senator Grassley this morning.
DHS has killed more Americans this year than Iran has.
I had assumed the headline was a joke. But no.

"while the bill doesn't seem to require the most egregious forms of age verification (face scans or similar), it does require OS providers to collect age verification of some form at the account/user creation stage"
that's hilariously bad. newsom keeps racking up wins.

they claim to have traced where all the money for these age verification bills is coming from - and the answer is mostly meta.

this is just open and abject corruption, but the way U.S. journalism frames it you'd not really understand that there's anything untoward
We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back.
Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.”

@Israel_katz O Translated from Hebrew Show original & Justice has been done. I welcome the decision of the Chief Military Prosecutor, Major General Itai Ofir, to close the Sde Teiman cases against IDF soldiers and to cancel the indictment against them. This trial was born in sin by the previous Military Advocate General, using a blood libel against IDF soldiers and criminal investigation methods, and I am glad that justice has been done and the trial has been canceled. The role of the ID's legal system is to protect and safeguard IDF soldiers who engage heroically in war against cruel monsters, and not the rights of the terrorists of Hamas. I am convinced that the decision will lead to a new path. Rate this translation: B Q 9:49 AM • Mar 12, 2026 • 226K Views
And read what Israel’s defense minister says the purpose of the legal system is. (Hint: not to prosecute crimes).
