If you asked me deep questions about my dad when I was 35, I would’ve shrugged my shoulders and said, “I don’t think I really know him.” I spent the last 10 years taking numerous trips with him since mom no longer could… and we actually got to know each other. Now, I feel like I’ve lost a friend.

This is such a lazy piece. It's like "this is a price control, and price controls always fail." First, it's not a price control. It's a government subsidy. Second, price controls don't "always" backfire. They prevent gouging in emergencies and help regulate monopolies.

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

Hmm. It's a stumper. Let's see, which countries are the ones where healthcare (a huge factor as you age) is tied to employment in a society with an unstable employment market with layoff threats always looming and where people over 50 are not so subtly pushed out the door? Is it Sweden? No?

In some countries, depression, loneliness, and memory issues actually improve in middle age. Almost everywhere else, they at least stay steady. And in only ONE country, they get WORSE . I'll give you three guesses and you have to forfeit the first two. maximumfun.org/episodes/dep...

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
