after hearing the cursed phrase “sexual matador,” i had to dive into stephen miller’s relationship advice: “be an alpha” www.huffpost.com/entry/stephe...

waco, ruby ridge, and countless abortion clinic bombings and shootings notwithstanding.......

one of the things that was most jarring about being undercover in nazi chatrooms for my book was how often violent videos were posted in the channels. executions, murders, blood. purposeful desensitization to violence can be detached from ideology and just entail inurement to the sight of death

Life editor @kathriller.bsky.social recently launched Family Beef, HuffPost Family's first advice column. It's been great so far, dealing with all kinds of knotty, relatable problems. I handled this week's write-in, from a son who hopes his mom will finally divorce his narcissist father.

It's always been like this, and it's because the elites are essentially self-preserving, and civility has always been the tool by which non-elites are condemned.

When I say restricting social media for kids (and, simultaneously, adults) is the fascist playbook I’m not using a metaphor. What I mean is that they wrote a playbook and this is in it

In the latest edition of Family Beef (our advice column at @huffpost.com), we dive into a mom who overstepped by making her daughter a dating profile. But the soft-catfishing is just a symptom of the larger problem.

A great one from @mwadzeckkraus.bsky.social: “The question emerging in the law right now is: Which parents have rights? We’re seeing the conservative legal movement rally around a narrow vision of parental identity, control, and rights, one that doesn’t reflect or include all families.”

Family Beef is our advice column at HuffPost dealing with family, parenting and conflict with the people you love most.

The minute these freaks started posted about each other, I knew we needed to make this happen. Thankfully, @sammanzella.bsky.social was born for this. www.huffpost.com/entry/stevie...

i feel weird re: on how our puritanical roots combined with our panopticon surveillance state yield a weird bestial energy around doxxing/punishing people for their personal human mess… but as a hater i just cannot get over the utter sexlessness of conducting an affair at a coldplay concert

There's an uptick in straight men who misrepresent their politics on dating apps — almost as if they know there's something undesirable/worth hiding? 👀@sareneleeds.bsky.social dives into the so-called "moderates" of the apps for @huffpost.com.

Marjorie Taylor Greene's announcement in the wake of the Texas floods sparked conversations around cloud seeding and more.

"Bedroom" kids were sort of maligned IMO by the TikTok analysis of Bedroom vs. Livingroom families — so happy that ‪@sseraphina.bsky.social‬ could break it down with experts for @huffpost.com www.huffpost.com/entry/living...

When the president calls alligators “cops” and jokes that the animals are cheaper than hiring guards, he’s turning state cruelty into entertainment and making ICE officers’ work more palpable to the public My story today on the vice signaling we've seen w/the new Florida Everglades detention center

*entering a bank holding a snake eating itself* EVERYBODY BE COOL! THIS IS OUROBORY!

“It’s not just branding; I look at it as more of a symbolic invitation back into a hierarchical, authoritarian family structure where power flows one way, and obedience is rewarded.” I regret to inform you I wrote a story that includes the words "Daddy Trump." www.huffpost.com/entry/is-don...

inspiring, frustrating, and full of actionable items—an incredible piece by @katherinelocke.bsky.social for my darling @kathriller.bsky.social over at huffington post. the power of TWO katherines! www.huffpost.com/entry/scotus...

The federal government could announce tomorrow that it will no longer recognize same-sex marriages and every single person in one would need to sue to enforce the recognition of their marriage. If you can't sue, it won't be recognized. No right is safe.

the 20th century got all the cool innovations (for good and ill) and we just have lying theft robot that sucks

Hello! #journorequest Looking to talk to a few more people for a story I'm working on for HuffPost about the rise of people choking/playing around with breathplay without consent/conversation first. Would love to speak with a few more people who can share their experiences. [email protected]

This is exactly what our tiny team at Scarleteen has been fighting for months now. It’s exhausting, infuriating, and it keeps us from our actual jobs helping people AND sometimes keeps young people from being able to even access our site for help at all.

THEY DONT CARE IF YOU LIVE OR DIE AND HAVE SHOWN YOU THAT YOUR WHOLE FUCKING LIFE

@elizabethyuko.bsky.social on the caregiver crisis in the U.S. and how public experts are sounding the alarm on what future medicaid cuts could do to already vulnerable care workers doing unsustainable, underpaid work www.huffpost.com/entry/caregj...

My latest for @huffpost.com — even healthcare providers are horrified by the 30+ states that will disregard someone's final wishes/advance directives due to pregnancy. www.huffpost.com/entry/pregna...

NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives. Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:

🚨Reports around the country today that some people who showed up for their immigration court hearings were told that ICE prosecutors had dismissed their cases — and then were arrested moments later by ICE officers and taken to detention centers for unknown reasons. Happening in multiple cities.

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

Exploring exactly how much public embarrassment a person should tolerate from their partner (especially when it's supposed to be a proud moment) — and how to know when to not post the hyper-personal thing and just talk to the person you love.

What Is “Quiet Screaming,” The New Thing Americans Are Doing All The Time?

i wrote this over 5 yrs ago and replace 'ml model' with 'genAI' and the pattern still holds reallifemag.com/fair-warning/

feel like a boomer when I see people sitting in coffee shops just watching tiktoks or facetiming with no headphones. these are the end times the Bible mentioned

The mental and emotional load of motherhood has been on our radar for years. But why are mothers still so often the default point person for all emotional needs?

"with the decline of local journalism and the rise of social media brain-poisoning, a large fraction of voters have never heard about IRA projects even in their own neighborhood." @ryanlcooper.com

Type C is the personality that tends to be overlooked and doesn’t get as much attention as Type A and B on social media, but there are a whole swath of people who will surely relate to these traits. www.huffpost.com/entry/signs-...

It's like every website, app and piece of software has developed its own Clippy. Clippy is following me around every day from Google to Zoom to Adobe Acrobat, telling me it looks like I'm trying to exist and would I like help with that

Such a loss for smart, beautiful and weird online journalism. I'm so mad.

I only learned what a Labubu was once @brittanywong.huffpost.com filed this story and honestly it took me from "wtf is this? what's the point?" to "i mean, maybe i really do need a freaky little guy for the vibes." (This is an endorsement of this story.) www.huffpost.com/entry/labubu...

Andrew is seriously one of the most talented people in the game (and built newsletters that i actually wanted to read!) on top of being an amazing reporter. Let their loss be your gain.

the One Weird Trick is a robustly funded national food safety regulatory apparatus

Wrote about "super-procreators" like Elon Musk and Nick Cannon, pronatalists and how their views are often tied up in eugenics, and what exactly, is a breeding kink. www.huffpost.com/entry/what-i...

Most people do not understand how much regulation it took to stop food poisoning from being a daily cause of death. They are about to learn the hard way that you can't feed yourself from those apartment deck planters year round.

some personal/professional news! i’ll be joining @huffpost.com as their senior family and relationships editor later this month. Will post/let folks know when i’m ready to start taking pitches: talkingbiznews.com/media-moves/...

preciously offline boyfriend has been watching Smash with me this past week and earnestly asked me last night why they didn’t get more than two seasons.
