It could also be that Gen Z, looking at a life with no secure job prospect, no opportunity to buy a house, possibly not even being able to afford children, finds the progressive message of Health Care and Child Care for all really appealing. I'm Gen X and I know I do!

Do please read the entire thread of this ‘glimpse’—it’s wonderfully dark and rich.
Isengrim the Wolf was tall and rangy and covered in jagged, ragged scars from his many duels and skirmishes. His fur was mottled grey with that reddish tinge which the Flanders wolves were once known for.
I ran across this beautiful piece of writing, and wanted to amplify it a little bit. In that vein, I love it when my friends introduce me to new things, whether it's writing, music, art, or ideas. Please keep talking up the things you enjoy. Social media doesn't just have to be an outrage machine.
I've taken the paywall off this piece I wrote about the wonderful art my mum and dad have been making in their 60s and 70s, which is also about the general (underacknowledged) concept of late-blooming creativity. I hope a few of you might find a moment to read it. www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...
Do not rest on this issue. These bills ban millions of women from voting unless they produce a passport or birth certificate — documents women lose when they marry and change their name. Over 21 million Americans lack ready access. The fix: reject the SAVE Act and protect equal ballot access. #Pinks
Yeah, tell me how you square that circle. I'll wait...

Most of the World Cup games were in blue cities. Thousands of complimentary videos. An amazing event handled incredibly well. Not a word from Dems taking a victory lap
The toxic influencer who has made "hyper-masculinity" his brand was arresting wearing Doris Day clam-digger slacks and a kicky purple blouse.
The cyclosporiasis outbreak appears to be the largest ever recorded in the United States, and members of Congress are now demanding answers from the CDC about whether staffing cuts, hiring freezes, and agency reorganization affected the federal response.
Gabriel's In Your Eyes has been used a lot, but never more memorably than in Say Anything:
Statement from Annie Farmer on meeting with Todd Blanche: "After meeting with Todd Blanche, I feel even more confident in urging senators to vote against his confirmation as the United States' Attorney General. "I found him abrasive, condescending, and intentionally noncommittal to survivors."
🔥🔥🔥"Todd Blanche has never stopped being Donald Trump's personal defense attorney. He doesn't know how to be America's highest law enforcement official. He doesn't know how to do that job — he only knows how to run interference for Donald Trump." #BlockBlanche
guess I gotta watch in the mouth of madness today one of my favorite lead performances in any film completely relatable and utterly brilliant

This is like Jeffrey Epstein lecturing us on feminism.

I spoke with Mitch McConnell today for about 20 min. He apologized for not convicting Trump for January 6th and said that Lindsey Graham is a sissy who is too scared to bring Russian sanctions forward despite promising it for a year. It was a pleasant conversation
Just got off the phone with Sen. McConnell. He’d like to pack the court with 7 more justices, all of whom must have served in senior roles at the ACLU. He also wants statehood for Puerto Rico and DC and give them each 5 senators for 99 years, to make up for the time they lacked representation
I just got off the phone with Mitch McConnell. He said he wants Universal Healthcare, as his current location opened his eyes. He thinks that college debt should be removed as we all benefit from Education. All public school should feed children while at school. Has anyone else spoken with him?
