The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

Wouldn't it be cute and cool if instead of senators being really really really old they were instead really really really young? I'm talking six-months-old young. You get to keep the diapers and spit up in play, and staffers can continue to divine policy positions from their bosses' grunts and wails

it drives me actually insane to have people romanticizing subsistence agriculture as if that's not just playing russian roulette with your family's lives year by year, and that every single one of their ancestors would throttle them for suggesting giving up their email jobs

Women ruin the workplace. And women's rightful workplace is the home. Therefore women must get out of the house before they wreck that too

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

The odds that Trump is going to accidentally invent single payer healthcare are zero.

This would be an HSA that would cover the cost of ivermectin and some bandaids. That’s it.

Here’s how sleep training went for us: we started it around 5.5 months because nothing was soothing her. She was yelling whether she was being rocked or fed. She wasn’t sleeping. We weren’t sleeping. So I was losing it and at the advice of some dear friends we decided to try Ferber for two weeks

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

One of the number one ways to immediately piss me off is to accuse others of harming their child by sleep training. Man

I love when some parents are like "hey if you take ten minutes to go take a shit and your baby is crying, you've actually taught them that no one will comfort them ever and they won't love you and you have DESTROYED them"
