The newsom for president boomlet made sense when he seemed to be the only Dem of note routinely going after Trump but now the average Dem senate nominee puts “pedocon theory is real” in campaign ads.

There’s also a simple question that I think is a very important one GDP/capita, 2025: Denmark—$76,970 Guinea-Bissau—$1,124 Why are white Danish researchers flying into one of the most resource-poor nations on earth to do a study that withholds a life-saving intervention from half of babies?

Proposing analog to,”racism can explain every weird thing in America” is, “women are busy working for money is the secret reason everything we miss about a society is now dying.”
Jess Calarco@jessicacalarco.com · 2d agoThis article offers half a dozen reasons why people have stopped having friends and family over, but it ignores the fact that the women who planned parties and kept homes tidy enough for unplanned guests are now working for pay full-time (usually more than 9-5). www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

where were you when you found out the 355 IKEA was moving to a smaller location in Naperville
People here are SO MAD about the good IKEA changing its location from off the highway to a smaller location in the next town that IKEA had to send its employees out to do Mamdani-Mister-Rogers type calming PSA videos to help us process LMFAOOOO anyway I’m so mad they’re moving
if you want to see how it used to be - how zombies were coded Haitian, voodoo, and Afro-Latino - one of my favorite movies as a kid was Scared Stiff with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. It’s a fascinating look at what zombies used to be in our pop culture and noticing that lens is IMPORTANT.

"Michel’s great virtue is his persistence,” said Haynes Miller, an M.I.T. professor emeritus of mathematics who is close to Dr. DeGraff and who says his friend is not an antisemite. 'He doesn’t give up. If he sees an injustice he will attack it.'"

Grocery store protestors used to load up their carts with frozen goods, walk around for at least a half hour and then go to customer service to say they disagreed with XYZ store policy and were not going to purchase their cart as a result (costing store money). These days you’d just get banned 😂
If you read the Walmart's patents, it's pretty wild. For example US11687872B2, granted in 2023: "The price for other items the customer purchases may be varied based on what items are already in the cart, e.g. if a customer has tuna fish, they may be offered a different price for mayonnaise."
advocacy in the most weird freak way possible 😭😭
razorgirl@razorgirl.diy · 2d agoas weird as he is, it's impossible for me to read his treatment of kate's body as anything other than advocacy for women's health. it's always got such a focus on pointing out the contrasts between his easy access to healthcare and how much of a struggle comparable things are for people like her
