A Life Hack for the Ultra-Wealthy Is Going Mainstream More families who can afford it are hiring a house manager, a kind of “chief of staff for the home.” By Nancy Walecki
Not a single shred of evidence in the article that this is an actual trend.

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50
Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it
conservatives try to play dumb about the shadow docket, saying it's standard protocol and lacks any political valence. anyway, here we have the papers and roberts is saying "i realize this isn't standard protocol but we need to do this for politics"
Well 1) It's not a double standard based on who is in office.
2) Isgurd is straight up lying by tricking people, (like you apparently) into thinking that's what's different.
So thoughtful deceptions are not a point in favor if so.
Anyone who is especially angry about the Jesus statue should do some serious introspection about why they weren't as angry about everything which preceded it and why they weren't demanding that the US and Europe do something, anything of tangible note.
a lot of people have seemingly pysoped themselves into thinking protests happened before israel did anything and that's basically genuinely mathematically not possible since airstrikes began around 6am US central time the same day
Yeah though just to emphasize I do mean it literally, airstrikes on Gaza were happening on October 7th. like it wasn't even a (guaranteed) hypothetical it was a guaranteed already-occurring-thing. 1m Palestinians were ordered to "evacuate" (self displace) on Oct 12th
I know it's a lost cause to try and correct people but whenever someone says "they were out there protesting Israel on Oct 8th before they even responded to Oct 7th" you need to remember that Israel actually already bombing Gaza within 5 hours of the initial incursions beyond the border fence.
After seeing the aftermath of Abdul El-Sayed asking Olivia Reingold what she meant by a Jewish state, I became convinced it's a question that should be asked more often. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
You just finished saying it's all non voters fault.
If it's the fault of "the people who could have prevented this" then it is the fault of Joe biden who could have prevented this.
I will absolutrly criticize people for attending. It’s a grotesque spectacle nobody who cares about press freedom should dignify with their presence.
My only sword opinion is:
Straight sword: stabbing allowed.
Curved sword: no stabbing.
But this clip does reject my one opinion so I think he's a bad person.
I am not sword expert but what I always kind of take for granted is that if sword straight, you can stab, if sword curved, you cannot stab.
Voting for Chuck Schumer is a vote to not defeat fascism.
I looked the other way when the administration tried to shutter law firms that opposed the government, but now that reporters have the Chief Justice's memos, I can stay silent no longer.

The Volokh Conspiracy Mostly law professors | Sometimes contrarian | Often libertarian | Always independent About The Volokh Conspiracy SUPREME COURT Court Leaks and Attorney-Journalists The professional-ethics implications of making court confidences public. STEPHEN E. SACHS | 4.20.2026 4:11 PM The recent leak of internal Supreme Court memoranda to the New York Times, discussed earlier by Jonathan Adler and Josh Blackman—as well as by Will Baude and Jack Goldsmith elsewhere—was plainly a serious violation of the Court's confidentiality obligations. But it may also reflect serious legal-ethics violations by one of the Times article's coauthors, Adam Liptak, whom I understand to be a licensed attorney in New York and subject to that state's Rules of Professional Conduct.
This is some of the funniest shit the legal academy has ever blogged. 2000 words very seriously explaining why Adam Liptak, who hasn't practiced law in 25 years, should be disbarred because of the NYT's reporting on the Supreme Court memos. Man what are you talking about. reason.com/volokh/2026/...
One of the ways to tell if an expert is full of shit is to check his replies and see if he is engaging with peers questioning his conclusions.

It's pretty cool how centrists will literally vote for Nazis and then be like, "it's actually the left's fault that I wasn't charismatically swayed to vote for the candidate who wouldn't do a genocide."
Waking up every day to two of my two democratic senators voting for Donald Trump's nominee, then having one of them go on TV to say that I deserve to suffer and should be shot:
I would have loved this if I wasn't tricked by the Anti Vote Coalition.
Why would voters ever make a promise to a party. Why would that ever be the balance of power in anything but a cult.
I’m still so confused as to why “suck it up and vote for genocide” wasn’t a winning message. I hate these high-minded purists who think that was a bad idea. Sorry, chief, but I live in the REAL WORLD
“Keir Starmer got his knighthood because as DPP he intentionally and knowingly obstructed justice against Charles’ best mate Savile” is looking more plausible all the time
You are making up an imaginary person to get mad at.
Read my actual posts instead of getting mad at the imaginary posts in your head.
Imo many Americans enjoy the trappings or imagery of our history while stripping it of any meaning. The OG Johnbrownstan said some shit like “I love John browns message but not his methods” and that explained it to me. Very little daylight between John brown in pfp and “mlk wouldn’t support this…”
If you want to boil down John Browns message it isn’t “rebellion” it is “slavery is against gods laws and must be fought by any means necessary.“
It was not “vote against the chief executive who is a dang Cheeto”
Will never forget when my phone was confiscated at secondary school because I got a phone call telling me a family member was in the hospital, and this meant I had caring responsibilities. Told them and school still insisted on taking it off me even though I needed to, you know, do that caring.
In what way is pointing out that you are making up bullshit because you don't know anything about leftists "acting like maga"?
Maga not exactly known for talking to leftists.
Capitolhunters: Can we all please recognize: throughout history, fascism is only ever defeated with a left-center alliance. Everyone has to suck it up and hang with people they might not like.
Hey real quick what happened to the left after they trusted those centrists
