This book is for everyone. Truly.
"Those who speak of 'toxic masculinity' are not criticizing men but rather defending them: describing an ideology and a system that pressures the boys and men in our societies, in our families, to conform to unrealistic unhealthy, and unsustainable ideals."

Adolf Hitler's “Mein Kampf” is still on U.S. Naval Academy shelves. “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” and “Memorializing the Holocaust” are not.
An order by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s office led to a purge of books that are critical of racism — but preserved volumes defending white power.

Liz Truss’ roast potato recipe is a great explainer for British politics 2016-2024. Aggressively contrarian, determinedly simplistic, objectively wrong. A masterpiece.

Tonight, the Cold Moon rises. ❄️
Known too as the Long Night Moon or The Moon Before Yule, it rises during the darkest nights of the year, heralding the onset of winter’s chill.
Its glow has guided ancient Yule traditions and marked the turning of the seasons.
Moonrise: 15:09*

I’m not a dad, but I always take the slightest opportunity of turning the conversation to human cannonballs. Then I say “You never see them any more do you?” People agree, no you don’t. Then I say, with agonising idiotic joy “it’s because you can’t get men of the right calibre.”
