Cardamom buns AND freedom?
More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.

They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

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

I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.

You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.

This is what comes after Trump.

With zero due respect, are you fucking kidding me
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

14 year old me can't believe I'm cheering for a Blue Jays walk off world series win but here we are
I would not be upset if Joe Carter is relegated to the second biggest homer in Blue Jays history

What a game. I'm sick that this isn't the Phillies but also if this was the Phillies I'd be hospitalized

We could have had it all
Wouldn't it be amazing if they bring Kershaw in and he shoves, just absolutely redeems his entire postseason career? Walks off the mound to like the most massive standing ovation?

And then they send him out for one more inning?

“ABC7 spoke to Pertissue Fisher, a woman who lives in the building. She said ICE agents took everyone in the building, including her, and asked questions later….’They was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other.’”

It can’t happen here, you say. But it is happening.

Yes to this whole thread. To love SF is to be frustrated by SF.
This is not a surprise. But it is a depressing triumph of west-side NIMBYism, and the axe grinding of neighborhood power brokers, some of whom are heartfelt but some of whom are clearly just grinding for power.
The recall of Supervisor Engardio is just the beginning of a bigger fight over housing and development on San Francisco’s west side.

"I like that Big Beautiful Bill because it cuts $1.4 trillion from healthcare, education, and food assistance. I’m still socially liberal even though the bill kicks 12 million off their health insurance and 22 million families will lose SNAP benefits."

Yeah definitely very normal and not at all sociopathic to refer to your employees as "the good ones" and "the bad ones"

You know when one of your favorite writers recommends a piece from another of your favorite writers, it won't miss. This one is classic Hanif and it will both break and repair your heart.
This is one of the most profound essays I’ve read in years. You don’t need me to tell you that Hanif Abdurraqib is one of the finest writers of our time, but this essay in particular is a hard-won offering. Please read it and share with people you love.
In Defense of Despair
The feeling is most commonly framed as an end point, a level of despondency that cannot be overcome. But it doesn’t have to be so.
