Damn maybe things are breaking

so much of NatCon writing is built around like, contemporary girlboss feminism being the primary reason women are in the workforce and not like, the pressures of the global economy or evolution of social norms on working

yeah contra scott yenor men who are invested in gender conformity also look down on femininity, and for some reason things aren’t working out too well for them as a result

Heritage folks are really telling on themselves.

it is kinda funny and bleak that "girlbosses" are always blamed for declining marriage rates when women with college degrees have the highest rate of marriage than any other group. The "problem" is working class men lmfao.

One of my favorite facts from the @thewaroncars.bsky.social book is that when brave mayors were trying to make Copenhagen and similar cities more bike/pedestrian-friendly in the 60s/70s, people violently opposed it because "that might work in other European cities, but Scandinavia has a car culture"

yeah piker is mostly shitposting in that pod but i do genuinely dislike that implication tbh

I think the most insane detail here is that this puts him to the *left* of Mills, who has consistently and vocally opposed red-flag laws, including the one *passed by voters after the Lewiston mass shooting*

Trump may do more for the energy transition than any other individual through sheer incompetence, just like JD Vance may do more than anyone else for the cause of global antifascism simply by being viscerally repellent.

I really wonder how this is gonna work out. never before have I seen members of a presidential administration lying about current financial conditions like this. especially given they were put in place to lower prices. crazy shit

i like how like the average voter just wants it to be 2019 and Claremont is like we must enact the esoteric revolution to make it 1865 again

“The Woman Question divides the Republican coalition itself.” Incredible

The Secretary of the Navy is not in the chain of command. Phelan was not the last person stopping Trump from nuking Iran. The SECNAV is responsible for getting ships built and making sure the sailors have the stuff they need.

This sucks. I also get the sense from various meetings across the past ~six months that entertainment companies are less scared of the perceived cultural revolution and willing to push back on stuff like this. I hope I am right!

man, Britt is handing him a layup begging him to take it and he just …. Doesn’t

I hate to be the one to tell you this but your roommate is Harry Dresden.

hell yeah

get in loser we’re being prosocial we’re paying our taxes we are NOT stealing from whole foods

we do, in fact, live in a society

if you are a left wing media figure and the new york times opinion page wants to publish you i strongly suggest reconsidering your opinion because its probably fucking stupid. or at least hoe-scaring.

You would hope that the fact that American conservative Catholics immediately started running the same playbook with Leo that they did with Francis would help people realize that maybe their criticisms of Francis weren't in good faith either

this is nutso

This is also just rude. Would you ever serve anyone else a meal you know they hate? Only kids get that kind of treatment

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit.

Italian UNIFIL soldiers rebuilt the statue of Jesus Christ that was smashed by Israeli soldiers in the town of Debel in southern Lebanon. Yesterday, the Israeli army sent a statue to the village to replace the one that was smashed, but it was rejected by the residents.

People citing the story about how the IDF sent the Lebanese village of Debel a new statute of Jesus should probably acknowledge that the residents rejected it and had a more appropirate one rebuilt by UNIFIL.

it's mind blowing to think about how much Elon fumbled his legacy. ten years ago 'wide swathes of the federal govt fleet will potentially be electrified' would have been met with massive adulation from liberals and the left. now people are (very understandably) against it because he's so untrusted.

Hating women but leftishly is a trend to keep your eye on, it's going to get worse before it gets better
