Yep and plenty of city dwelling wives had to take in laundry or other such tasks to supplement that one income. Only wealthy or unionized men could financially support their household.

Hi. Gen Xer here (b. 1979): both of my Boomer-gen parents had to work full-time jobs in order to afford those things. My Greatest & Silent Gen grandparents could *mostly* do this, but they lived very frugally (both grandfathers also had military pensions). This period was 70+ years ago.

To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts. 2/7

We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. 1/7

I visited one of the local steppes near to Pinoso and was pleased to see some early Lesser Kestrels back already (7). What stunning little raptors. They were busy wizzing around displaying and showing off to the females. #birds #birding #birdsseenin2026 #naturephotography

I cancelled a membership thing recently. I got a response saying they would cancel it after I gave them my valuable feedback. I replied “the hell you will” hyperlinked to my state’s attorney general website. You know we are in the end stages of late capitalism because money is no longer enough.

Coverage on BBC. Fire confirmed to have started in a vape shop this afternoon. The whole row is gutted and collapsing. It looks as though the fire brigade are struggling just to contain the fire. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cd...

Neither. As I've said before, I worry that we ignore the horrors of mass deportation staring us in the face if we jump straight to envisioning them as extermination camps. Mass immigration detention is worth opposing for its ongoing problems, not what might in some uncertain world come to pass.

I didn't even include the lawyer's best burn! Lawyer: You say you have an understanding of what DEI means and when I ask you, you say you need to reference the Executive Order [EO]. Do you need to reference EOs to define every word you use in your everyday life? Opposing Lawyer: Objection.

This is absolutely hilarious and deserves a Veep-style TV adaptation.

The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm

The Trump admin tried to use emergency rulemaking to erase the Board of Immigration Appeals, requiring that basically all appeals (which cost $1,000 to file!) be summarily dismissed without any review. Thanks to our @immcouncil.org legal team and others, the rule is now BLOCKED!

What a shit show

Court opinion reading tip: In an Appointments Clause challenge, if the judge quotes this before even getting into the facts of the case, the executive branch lost.

oh yeah, yesterday i went for a lil lakefront trail ride and tested the handlebar mount for my insta360 and whaddayaknoww,,, first ride of the year for me and i already find cops driving their stupid fucking SUVs on the trail

Modding Skyrim kept the game fresh for over a decade

Lmao don't trust NYT to protect their sources anymore

sorry to be an old-fashioned scold but there is something deeply pathetic about being an adult and shoplifting just because you kinda feel like the rules don't apply to you

This reminds me of Celeste

I can't compete with this.

My latest! In this month's cover story for the @texasobserver.org, I wrote an expansive, oddly philosophical deep dive into the western diamonback rattlesnake, a much-maligned animal I've come to have a lot of respect and affection for

GEORGIA: a quick thing you can do to oppose this horrible book banning bill!! h/t @laurelsnyder.bsky.social & @authorsabb.bsky.social www.allianceforgeorgialibraries.org/oppose_sb74

Ted Carter sucked but its depressing to think about what the candidate pool is going to look like for Ohio State, given who governs the university right now. I'd be pretty surprised if the next school president isn't an Ohio politican, rather than a traditional higher education professional

The bomber in NYC was TARGETING Jake Lang, not supporting him!! Begging people to read and not just go with what their gut wants!!!

I just sent this email to the news director at NBC4 Washington about the unprofessional and disrespectful way they handled publishing the body camera footage of the DOGE raid on the US Institute of Peace that was obtained via my FOIA lawsuit:

Baby bird season 2026 is just starting, if you ever need baby birds, i got you.

I was proud to join striking UAW Local 2192 members in Lorain County yesterday as they continue their fight for fair pay and better healthcare. Ohioans are working harder than ever, and still can’t get enough breathing room. When I’m governor, working families will come first. Always.

He can just use state power to make bad things worse, blame others, and demand that we don’t hold elections. That’s it, that’s the whole plot; and if we don’t see it that’s on us. (3/3)

Neither snow nor sanctions

No Brazil, No Columbia, No Peru. Thank goodness

UPDATE: Sunny and the others detained are now safe at home. But we’re demanding answers about their illegal detention and transfer across state lines. Join Sunny Naqvi and community leaders tomorrow as she shares her story. - Broadview Facility, 1930 Beach St

I am going to scream.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Afzul said her sister and her five coworkers were returning from Turkey after a work trip to India was canceled. She traveled to Bulgaria and Austria before flying back to Chicago on Thursday CBP detained her for "irregular travel history," Afzul said.

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.

Definitely one of the cutest owls out there, this Boreal Owl was sitting in a tree keeping an eye out for its next meal (which it did indeed find). NOTE: This video was taken at a distance with a long lens and subsequently cropped, it's important to give wildlife their space! #birds #owls

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

Jackson: “It’s a private building, and that’s why we need MPD” This MF knew he was stealing a private building belonging to a private non-profit. He should be disbarred & prosecuted. AND, this caper should be added to Trump's impeachment charges. Excellent investigative reporting Marisa!

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Apologies accepted.

This is the type of embrace where you're clinging to each other, taking turns comforting. Idky, I read grief in this. Very good art

The system was built by their parents to keep their children in power. Modern leadership is a metastization of generations of children who have played the entire game of life on their dead parent's save file. They spawned into the world with diamond armor, but don't even know how to collect wood

"Financial incentives pervert reality" is some real evergreen shit

Are you a ‘90s child? Consult my handy chart to find out.

Specifically, having the people running natsec, foreign, & defense policy & strategy, as well as commanders & staffs at echelons below them deciding that we don't have to account for the people in the places with the things that we are concerned about or want to secure or want to influence. 2/

“MAGA’s fundamental shared quality is a total lack of theory of mind for other people” is a theory that keeps getting validated by reality - look at almost every decision they’ve made in the war with Iran, and how they seem constantly surprised by the unanticipated actions of other parties.
