My male role models were my grandfathers and uncles. WW2 and Vietnam vets. Small business owners. Blue collar workers. A cop.
All of the “manosphere” stuff I hear is just so odd. Like, every man I grew up around — inarguably macho guys — would just call these people creeps, not “manly.”

Went to San Rafael CA for the slightly lower #KingTide today, and saw water leaking through a masonry wall around the district’s pump station.
Which reminded me that an earthquake would break some of those pumps (it’s a liquefaction zone) and flood it way before sea level rise will.

Pantone describes its color of the year, “Cloud Dancer,” as “a discrete white hue offering a promise of clarity.” In today’s polarized sociopolitical climate, this selection offers disengagement at best and channels rage-bait at worst.
Pantone’s Color of the Year Sounds About White
After the year we’ve had, going with Cloud Dancer can easily be interpreted as a piercing dog whistle.

I have to assume that a lot of these parents have never had to be genuinely afraid for their children’s lives, because that is something that changes you on a fundamental level. And that’s just not a state of affairs that was possible any time before vaccines, when HALF of kids didn’t grow up

This is how capitalism (taking advantage of short-sighted human greed) will lead people into the disasters that a small number of very wealthy ppl will then profit from.
This is the correct take on the whole Zillow fiasco
