The New York Young Republican Club hosted a reading of it this week

just who I wanted to read on The Woman Question

why? I actually do not know. I’m not sure I want to know either. Let the mystery be

why are people so fucking weird about The Pitt? unhinged fandoms seem to be a fact of life now, but Jesus

The Girlboss Takeover Has a Data Problem The sub-industries that already employed women just grew faster.

I looked into a gonzo First Things essay that argues women are using the government "prop up" their employment.

when I first started dating my husband, he’d say something Catholic and it sounded about like this to me

Are We Actually Experiencing a Christian Revival? News of a Gen-Z religious resurgence doesn’t tell the full story.

Is there a Christian revival? The short answer is no. Not among Gen Z or anyone else. The long answer is more complicated, and has a lot to do with trends among young women, who aren’t getting as much attention in the press. nymag.com/intelligence...

On Monday we reported on the 8 most insane fascist and antisemitic accounts JD Vance follows on X. @kylebazgo.bsky.social identified the worst of them, HowlingMutant, as Alexander Norden of NYC. He's very edgy, like posting about his sexually attraction to a pile of shoes at the Holocaust Museum.

Hegseth Borrows Violent Prayer from ‘Pulp Fiction’ to Bless Iran War at April Pentagon Worship Service For the second month in a row, Pete Hegseth, who likes to call himself “secretary of war,” read a violent prayer — that echoes a scene in the Quentin Tarantino film Pulp Fiction — during a worship ser...

I think he’s a more strategic thinker for sure. I wouldn’t say he’s very good at it, but he makes an effort. And the bar is quite low!

We need people to start being snobs again. Doesn't have to be about everything, but please start being snobs about something.

he’s not a very complicated person

JD Vance probably does understand just war theory. he just doesn’t care. he’s self-serving, not stupid

what are you even talking about? I was homeschooled and this comment was critical of homeschooling

that’s the joke, yes. good luck with life

The trouble with betting on the support of Christian evangelicals is that their faith tradition around The Rapture (at least the one requiring Jews in the Holy Land) only really got mainstream in living memory, and there was really no reason to assume it would permanently keep the same shape

The Painter of the Right - Dissent Magazine Thomas Kinkade’s paintings show conservatives a world they have already won.

After you've admired the photo that Trump posted, depicting himself as Jesus, read @sarahjones.bsky.social excellent & entertaining piece on the master of that cartoonish Christo-fascist aesthetic, Thomas Kinkade. dissentmagazine.org/online_artic...

hell yeah

so distracted by the Hungarian election that I accidentally ordered the same book on the Antichrist twice

JD Vance sucks

Me seeing the news from Hungary

we’re not going to defeat global authoritarianism by putting JD Vance on a stage and letting him talk. but maybe it isn’t going to *hurt* either lol

how long before he blames this on a demon
