"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...

I had to read this one, just because of the title. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Todd is the man who was fired for refusing to hand over Eisenhower’s sword to Trump. He’s GREAT at making history fun and relevant on social media. Worth making his dream come true. 🙂

One weird thing that stuck in my mind when Saddam's bunker was uncovered was his extensive selection of records by... The Osmonds. Sometimes I picture him mincing around his bunker at night, singing along to "One Bad Apple" or "Yo-Yo" in a cracked falsetto, and dancing badly. It's an odd image.

The OnSpec Kickstarter is a little under $1500 short of its goal with 12 days to go. Can we get a repost for fans of Canadian-made SciFi to support a small press? @charliejane.bsky.social @annaleen.bsky.social @doctorow.pluralistic.net @nikostratis.com @premeemohamed.com @peterbcounter.com

I was just telling my neighbour's kid that I'm old enough to remember when I could fill my gas tank for $65 and now it's $95 and he asked me what it was like living in the olden days and I told him March was really a different time.

The astronauts sholde recorde a bunch of Mountain Goats songes while thei are up ther and release them as an EP titled The Moontain Goats. Thanke you Ich will be heere all weeke.

What a fucking shot holy shit

This is the way.

lying about it happening on april fool's day: mean-spirited, hurtful, not funny at all it actually happening on april fool's day: possibly the funniest thing of all time

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, use AI.

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

I didn't think that Duke loss could possibly get any sweeter and then I realized Stephen Miller probably had a sad viewing party in the White House and, ah, yeah, that did it

In fairness, it's ultimately cheaper for the United States to pay for Donald to cheat at golf in Florida than to be back in the White House rashly starting another haphazard $1 billion/day war.

LOL Gotta love watching karma operate in real time...

Here's one for my fellow Canucks: the feds are seeking our input on the question of whether headlights have gotten too bright, and constitute a danger to other drivers. Give 'em an earful! globalnews.ca/news/1174863...

"In other words, the perceived worth of higher education has waned just as women have begun to outnumber men within it. Is it really a coincidence?"

Any school that removes books that promote empathy, cultural understanding, history and critical thought needs to be investigated for neglect. I don't think this is up for debate. If you're not teaching children this, what the fuck are you teaching them??

Caught the kittens in "recharge" mode (it doesn't last long). Happy #caturday

poster art from the '30s was pretty cool...

Entire Spring Break Spent In Airport Security Line

Dear Christians who like to appropriate Judaism: Jesus did NOT have a Passover seder, (that developed after the fall of the 2nd Temple in 70 CE) but he WAS commanded to clean leaven from his house, so if you want the fun! parts of being a Jew, you can enjoy scrubbing your fridge like I am now 💕

there it is

How ICE Is Assisting TSA theonion.com/how-ice-is-a... #TheOnion

On this day in 1855, Abraham Gesner of Nova Scotia submitted his patent for kerosene. His invention helped end the use of whale oil as a fuel. By 1870, kerosene was the dominant illumination fuel, and the North American whaling industry began to decline.

As we head into another likely drought year for much of North America, this is... unhappy news. arstechnica.com/health/2026/...

Highly recommended. A well-researched deep dive into an ongoing travesty.

A billion here, a billion there, soon you're talking real money...

I'll second that. I'm a guy, but most of the people I care about in this world are women. So I own copies of this and The Vagina Bible, and plan to pick up Blood, so I'll have this little library for my granddaughters, daughter, step-daughter, etc. And also me, 'cause I should know these things.

My GF happened to mention her hysterectomy, in passing, and my brain immediately informed me that turning off notifications on my phone and computer would constitute a "distractomy."

NEW: The government tells Americans to use VPNs to protect their privacy. The government also automatically presumes communications of unknown origin are foreign. Foreign communications don't require a warrant to wiretap. Lawmakers who've done the math want answers. My latest @wired.com:

despicable. fuck this.

Hi! Your friendly neighborhood 82nd Airborne vet here to tell you 1,000 paratroopers is a command group+advance party and it makes no sense to send this element unless the plan is to send a fuck ton more ground troops relatively soon!

It’s always projection when these fools point fingers.

This is a beautiful tribute to Collins Eisenhauer, who is often hailed as one of the great masters of Nova Scotia folk art.
