Our data shows a lot of people are freaking out over fertility rates. Over at @19thnews.org, we looked into the history of pronatalism and how it intersects with Trump admin policies without valorizing Silicon Valley weirdos. 19thnews.org/2025/12/pron...
Why are so many Americans worried about falling birth rates?
The 19th News/SurveyMonkey Poll found that half of Americans think we should be at least somewhat worried about the impact of falling birth rates on society.

Seems like all I do whenever I go ontoThreads is block the bots and MAGA accounts that just keep popping up in the "For You" feed. No matter how many I block, they keep showing up.

the lesson executives should learn from this whole paramount debacle is that it is extraordinarily corrosive to a functional business environment to have a personalist authoritarian regime, and they should not support that in the future

what they will learn is they should get closer to trump

My splints and sutures are out in less than 48 hours. It’s so close yet so far. Did hear from my doctor that I can take a pill to help sleep the next two nights, which is a relief; I’ve been having insomnia so bad the last few nights, from the splints and such. Even a little relief will be good.

Whoa … this is really strange.

Federal law enforcement managed to confiscate almost two tons of cocaine, and arrest 3 suspects, without blowing the boat out of the water or killing anyone.

Good to know that I was right that MTG wasn’t to be trusted once she did the about-face on Trump. Still the same deflecting conspiracy theorist as before.

LESLEY STAHL: You contributed to the toxic culture. You were out there pounding, insulting people

MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE: You've contributed to it as well

STAHL: I want you to respond to what you have done in terms of insulting people

MTG: I'd like for you to respond to that

Schmitt is a former state attorney general. Of course he knows about this case.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you support the pardon of the former Honduran president?

SCHMITT: I'm not familiar w/ the facts or circumstances

S: What do you mean you're not familiar? It's been front page news

SCHMITT: You spew Democrat talking points every single week, which is why your ratings are so bad

Personally I suspect Cuellar could switch after the election since so much of this regime is a dog and pony show, but whoever is writing Trump’s posts still wants him punished.
“No more Mr. Nice guy,” President Trump said, accusing Democrat Henry Cuellar of “a lack of loyalty."

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”

In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

Almost 1 a.m. and I can’t sleep. I’m tired but as soon as I’m in a blanket, I’m overheated, even though it’s cold tonight. Legs won’t stop twitching and I have a profound feeling of emptiness. Will this ever end? Am I incapable of sleeping upright for the nose splints?

Since apparently my filter is down, I feel like saying the acting on SNL leaves much to be desired, but also that I always feel so alone, on here and in the world.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, “Science isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”

Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

Elon Musk is worse at hiding it but this is the problem with all billionaires: they are a threat to democratic governance. They have an insatiable need to own and control everything. If you want to be free you have to curb their power, and demand political leaders who understand that
Elon Musk is against the European Union being the European Union —he posted this after X (fka Twitter) was fined for violations of the EU’s Digital Services Act.

My teeth feel bigger, for some reason, maybe I’m starting to lose my mind with these splints in my nose. Also as a confession, I didn’t actually like the ASOIAF novels when I first read them, they felt random and just going wherever like Clash of Kings, I didn’t even know it was building up/1

This guy calling for public executions and abridgement of due process, and exhibiting some very weird masculinity issues, is Joe Lonsdale, a billionaire on the board of Steadfast LA, Rick Caruso's personal non-profit that is supposedly going to help rebuild from the wildfires.
Seems nice.
