I think it’s also true that loneliness among women has historically been treated as an individual problem, while loneliness among men is treated as a societal problem. That, in turn, comes from an assumption that women are supposed to earn the company of others while men are entitled to it.
men’s loneliness gets “more airtime”?

baby I have lived the past three decades of my life witnessing corporate media elevate men’s loneliness into a full-blown balls-to-the-wall CRISIS once every 4-5 years

“more airtime” is hilarious

Donald Trump is a dinosaur. And his cultists are part of a dying breed. Yes, they are having their moment in power. But the world is changing and their white supremacy vision will not endure.

What the hell? Mike Sharavjamts is now at South Carolina! His fourth school in four years, and he's playing pretty well!

Good for him. Screw his dad.

What R U talking about?
R U ok with paying 8 to 12 pct more in taxes and possibly losing your standard deduction ?

R U ok with losing access to different curative medications and care because the government can't afford to pay for them, even after taxing all the billionaires 90 pct?

I mean this sincerely: if we are to rebuild this Republic we will need conservatives with consciences to be a part of that.
Indiana’s Senate has voted AGAINST the GOP gerrymander that’d have locked in a 9-0 map.

This keeps the 7-2 map in place, saving two Democratic seats heading into 2026.

The vote failed big, 19/31.

The MAJORITY of the GOP senators opposed it!

HUGE appreciation for the local Indivisible groups in Indiana who have been working for weeks and weeks on this, meeting with legislators, testifying, protesting, calling, advocating. Pressure works!!!
🎉 BREAKING: WE DID IT! 🎉

After days of intense pressure from D.C., the Indiana Senate REJECTED the mid-decade gerrymandered map!

This victory belongs to every Indivisible member, every activist, and every Hoosier who called, emailed, and showed up.

Better question: why does the WH press corps go along with this? Send the interns
Strategy question: Why does the WH press secretary offer a lecture full of falsehoods at the briefing, to reporters who know better? Wouldn't it be better to just dissemble directly to the people?

Yesterday, Powell said that payrolls maybe overstated by about 60K per month. That would leave us with net negative job growth since April.

The bribes, they're not subtle.

Nor are they even particularly substantial.

Even Eric Adams has more pride than this.

CF Michael Siani, the #Reds 4th round pick in 2018, has hit waivers again, with one option year remaining.

Age 26, he has a 58 wRC+ in 383 PA in 160 MLB games, mostly with the Cardinals. In that time he has +7 DRS, +17 OAA, and +12 FRV.

That defense has given him a positive fWAR (+0.5) in MLB.

We are in a housing crisis.

Trump has said he wants to lower the cost of housing.

So why did his allies in Congress stop a bipartisan bill that was designed to do just that?
