I created a Reddit account when we were expecting our first baby and it was so helpful through the pregnancy and continues to be so with her now at 16 months old. Just getting perspectives from other parents who have stressed/questioned the same things is so helpful.
I'll add that as someone who not that long ago spent many frantic nights looking for information on sleep training, feeding, etc etc--by far the most valuable internet resource was reddit, the only place with human advice. Everything else is basically useless at this point.
This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

The Orioles were part of the conversation for Kyle Schwarber, as were others. But he heads back to Philadelphia. A major domino falls and the Orioles’ hunt for a major lineup addition moves to other targets

Good for Schwarbs. Wish he was coming back to Boston though

Sonny Gray is wearing a World Series hat that he says he bought right after he was traded to the Red Sox. He said that’s the focus of his career efforts. He described the idea of approving a trade to the Sox as an “immediate yes.”

"Elon Musk is personally responsible for the deaths of at least 400,000 children" is a stat that should be cited every time he and his pervert fanboys start yapping about birth rates
Elon Musk and the Trump administration gleefully shutting down USAID “has already caused the deaths of six hundred thousand people, two-thirds of them children.”

People throw around terms like genocide quite freely online but it’s hard to find other words to describe this level of man-made death.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*
