1/ This is actually quite a good article of "how" the campaign went wrong, not "why" and it's not really ideological. But it does show how a hastily organized campaign misread the room, and it has a lot of good advice going forward.

Child protective services ripped a 14-year-old from her home to stop her from leaving the state for an abortion. They also threatened her mother with murder charges and the removal of her other child if they crossed state lines for care. So please don't tell me Republicans aren't banning travel.

Doctors say that a Vitamin K injection given at birth saves the lives of hundreds of newborns. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and takes raccoon penises home for "further study" says the injection can create mitochondrial challenges. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

This is a really worthwhile read

Israel built a military post in another country and it’s not even in the top 100 most fucked up things Israel has done this year

the funniest thing about rod dreher is that his entire career has been this way. he has always been the private project of a single reactionary ghoul who can afford to subject the entire world to what should’ve been the inner monologue of a very cruel, stupid man.

Tapping the sign.

RFK Jr to discontinue Vitamin K shots for newborns and replace them with a carton of Kents w/ Micronite for mom.

I’m sure he was evil in many ways but I deeply long for the days when billionaires were into baseball and pro wrestling and not publicly doing weird shit with their sperm

Adulthood is just cycling between "If I don't say yes to every opportunity, no new opportunities will ever be offered to me" and "Oh no, I have said yes to too many things" over and over until you die.

Same energy:

I still cant get over this. How you steal somebody's life... (he was 28 years incarcerated for a crime he DID NOT commit) He gets out, gets a law degree. Runs for office.... WINS... and then they steal the job

Spirit Airlines has officially shut down operations. Well, you know what that means...

Three incredible things from this story: 1) the first words are “A 3-year-old hunter” 2) the “mentor” was exempt from “hunter education certification” bc of their “military training.” 3) the adult shot in the turkey hunt was an off-duty law enforcement officer.

AI psychosis is just “I really think the stripper likes me” for guys who don’t leave their house

Some people say we don’t build beautiful things anymore and, like, lol. Motherfuckers, we built this:

1966-1999: SCOTUS rejects various challenges to VRA 2006: VRA reauthorized with 98-0 senate vote 2008: Obama elected 2013-2026: SCOTUS dismantles VRA

A deep dive into the swing revival, the biggest hit song in it and the heinously-named band that fit awkwardly in it

Also, not to get overly technical, but the guy did not get anywhere near Trump. He was not even on the same floor. It's not clear this should even be called a security failure. They caught the guy, and he was not able to hurt anyone. But I guess that is too technical.

I think his wife embellished greatly when she told her rich-woman-inconvenienced story to her husband who then did not understand that his F-tier celebrity status outside of soccer would not be how this particular story as presented would be treated.
