Children are anxious. Parents are stressed. Birthrates are at record lows. The problem is our family unfriendly culture. Parenting culture is too intense. Mating & Dating culture is dysfunctional. And our values are too individualistic. So I wrote a book. amazon.com/Family-Unfrien…
Tt’s a weird sort of millennial-too-online-closed-in-a-media-bubble myth that Dem gerrymanders are rejoinders to GOP gerrymanders. Somehow MSNBC and convinced a bunch of other liberals that Republicans invented gerrymandering in 2010. washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/who-co…
Reminder: Donald Trump owned Miss Teen USA beauty pageant along with others. Regarding the 18-25-year-olds in Miss USA, he bragged that his position allowed him to walk in on the nearly naked contestants.
This tweet makes me want a Bloomin Onion. I think my compromise is that next time I get one, it will be the only thing I eat all day.
It’s genuinely hilarious, and sort of perfectly fitting, that MAHA neuroticism about food chemicals combined with Trumpist love of trash food is cashing out in dietary wins like “now your 3,000 calorie Bloomin Onion is made with beef tallow!” and “Apple Jacks still have enough…
Booker is aiding and abetting Chinese espionage.

Discrimination isn't inherently bad. Often it's totally sensible. Because the U.S. has a history of awful racial discrimination, we've come to see discrimination itself as a supreme evil. That's over-broad!
Uber, $UBER, will let women drivers and riders request to avoid being paired with men starting next month, per CNBC
Back in NY, we said "mow the lawn," and I feel the more working-class ethnic kids said "cut the grass." What's your experience?
Incredible to watch these people fluidly alternate between liberal individualism and hardline ethnonationalism, based on whatever the current political moment requires
I am all for adult-only places. Closing a ZOO to kids for an entire SATURDAY is a sign of a sick culture, though.
Seattle's @woodlandparkzoo is closing for the day this Saturday to host a day-long "21+ zoo adventure" for adults online. Really do not love it - zoos are for kids.
Republicans need to calm down lest Democrats go for 7-1 in Maryland, 9-0 in Massachusetts, 8-2 in Washington, 3-1 in Nevada, 14-3 in Illinois, and 43-9 in California with a fake “independent” commission.
Republicans States that could do Mid decade redistricting Per Punchbowl 🔴 Texas: 5 seats 🔴 Ohio: 2-3 seats 🔴 Florida 3-4 seats 🔴 Missouri: 1 seat 🔴 Indiana: 1 seat 🔴 New Hampshire: 1 seat Total: 🔴 Republican +13-15 seats
A few years ago, when I still lived in MoCoMd, I mentioned my own state's hideous gerrymander on this website, and @mattyglesias's response was *well, Maryland itself has a weird shape*
I guess they’ve never heard of Maryland.
The weirdest Dem claim--because it is so easily disproven--is that somehow Dems only gerrymander in response to Republicans gerrymandering.
.@SenatorSlotkin on Republican redistricting: "If they're going to go nuclear in Texas, I'm going to go nuclear in other places. ... If they're proposing to rig the game, we're going to get in that game and fight." #AxiosLive
Mid-decade partisan redistricting is corrosive of republican government.
How messed up do you have to be to write these words without deep embarrassment? <<My husband and I had an open relationship at the time...>
A lot of women have no idea how to close a deal, and a lot of men know how to chew their leg out of a trap. nytimes.com/2025/07/21/mag…
Safer streets are essential for family-friendly neighborhoods.
This is so obviously a prostitution business that everyone in the vicinity is baffled why @FairfaxCountyPD lets it continue to operate.
There's a brothel in my neighborhood. I did some reporting on it.
