beginning to worry that nobody can be normal about GLP-1s and the people who take them. I have seen some truly fucked up takes from the body positivity world, too

picked up Slewfoot after hearing countless recommendations and it was so badly written I had to put it down and stare into space for a while

but how will it compare to the masterpiece www.gamesradar.com/left-behind-...

during my church days, I heard a lot of women say marriage is SUCH hard work but thank you, God, for the blessing of my husband, who wears tactical polo shirts and doesn’t change diapers. now: I think marriage can be hard, but it shouldn’t be that hard, and if it is, you should get out

extremely true

statement from Dolores Huerta: "I have encouraged people to always use their voice. Following the New York Times’ multi-year investigation into sexual misconduct by Cesar Chavez, I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences."

We're hiring a Washington-based staff writer to help us launch an exciting new project! You can live in Virginia or Maryland, but you’ll be expected to be on the Hill when Congress is in session. Learn more + apply: trib.al/6A8QVpS

Thank you Bari Weiss, Thomas Chatterton Williams, and Michael Powell for everything you did to win Leqaa's freedom in the name of free speech on campus

James K. Polk’s birthplace in North Carolina. Might be the most bored I’ve ever been

how many times has the Democratic Party tried this exact strategy. how many Amy McGraths is it gonna take before they learn something

INBOX: The Florida Federation of College Republicans has disbanded and requested the deactivation of the University of Florida chapter of College Republicans, after "members engaged in a pattern of conduct that violated its rules and value, including a recent antisemitic gesture."

extremely heated debate over a proposed noise ordinance back home. lines are being drawn, and blood feuds declared. I can’t look away

we expelled them, blacklisted them, called cops to beat the shit out of them, and deported them. why aren't they protesting again? i'm very smart

Brent Bozell is not just a random dude, but was an explicit pro-apartheid activist in the 80s, and his dad (one of Bill Buckley's best buds) was an admirer of Franco who moved the family to Francoist Spain for a while

Abigail Spanberger has agitated every chud in the state of Virginia. Facebook is in full meltdown. You’d think she was about to disarm and then decapitate every camo-wearing neckbeard I went to high school with

not a fan of ‘deconstruction’ as a framework, for reasons laid out here: newrepublic.com/article/1794... But! It was Iraq, which everyone around me supported. Plus gender, and general cruelty, especially toward the poor.

these people aren’t reading. they’re consuming content. they might as well stare at TikTok for hours

It's stiff competition, but Nellie Bowles may actually be the most evil, vapid person to work at her wife's stupid website:

New study analyzing fertility data and the volume of pronatalist media coverage finds the two are unrelated, suggesting “pronatalist media discourse selectively deploys demographic evidence in order to operate as an ideological regime of truth.” www.demogr.mpg.de/papers/worki...

the stuff of my worst nightmares

In this episode, @sarahjones.bsky.social & I discuss the sponsor of the KS legislation stripping trans people of their drivers licenses, an alum of the Statesmen Academy, a project of Focus on the Family's political arm, something I wrote about in 2022: www.typeinvestigations.org/investigatio...

googled “can diabetics eat barbecue.” huge mistake. there are things I would rather not know

New Reign of Error episode is with the great @sarahjones.bsky.social, and we talk about how the Christian right tries to mainstream its sadistic war on trans people, its escalating anti-abortion strategies, and the weird evangelical-MAHA politics: redcircle.com/shows/fbed71...

Nobody hates living veterans more than Republicans. Dead veterans they can exploit in videos. But living veterans with opinions and medical needs are literally offensive to conservatives.

NOT JUST THIS: Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers. This could be a major night in NC.

What often gets missed in stories about declining birth rates is that they're due to declines specifically among young women. Young women are exercising reproductive autonomy and are making considered decisions about whether and when to have children. This is a good thing.

And so First Things (the leading Catholic magazine of religion and public life) joins evangelicals in making the pivot from “Christian nationalism isn’t a real thing” to “Actually, Christian nationalism is awesome and we need it!”

legends never die

a lot to consider here, but: “the back of her cervix?”

Border Patrol released Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a 56 yo man, nearly blind with serious medical conditions, at "an old address & his family had since moved" in Buffalo, NY in the winter. "His family was not initially notified." He was found dead. @news4buffalo.bsky.social www.wivb.com/news/local-n...

This is very good reporting that sheds light on just how small the extremely pro-Trump online right really is. The online right is totally astroturfed. The White House's own staffers are running meme accounts to make them look more popular than they are. www.wired.com/story/a-whit...

We analyzed the data leak from White Date, a white supremacist dating site, with an eye for what it could tell us about Texas politics. We found that Texas users included multiple neo-fascist activists, as well as former and active duty military members, and more. thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/24/3...

if this version of me existed, I’m sure she’d be upset right now

Gaby del Valle is one of the best reporters I know and the attacks against her on here are not only shocking in their violence and bigotry but also incredibly bad-faith and utterly without merit.

this is correct. people have completely lost the plot on here

hearing that we won a hockey game

this really brought out the Celt in me. and the French too, let’s be real

why are people boosting Mike Elk’s shit? has the lore not made its way over here yet?

someone should’ve warned me that the new Love Is Blind is set in Ohio. as a woman who went to college there I think God in his infinite wisdom should have sent a lightning bolt to strike my television

really depends on what kind of religion/which kind of Christianity. that said, the next Dem president ought to be a lot more dedicated to separation of church and state than some of their predecessors
