free bees are much more economical than free ponies, and we all know that we need more bees. I don't see the issue

You know how crazy it is to be like "I hate Black people so much that I am going to work a double shift"
when you’re so racist you don’t let your workers have a day off for a holiday recognizing the end of slavery

In this public News Brief, we detail how US media reinforces every faulty premise of Israel's attack and how top Democrats either ignore Trump and Israel's massive escalation or openly support it, showing once again the scope of debate in our politics and media ranges all the way from A to B.

I’m hooting and hollering: “Zohran is proud not to have the experience of defunding the MTA, cutting Medicaid, empowering Republicans and resigning in disgrace after being credibly accused of serial sexual harassment,” Mamdani campaign spokesperson Andrew Epstein said about Cuomo’s comments.
In final stretch of New York mayoral race, Cuomo targets Mamdani's inexperience

My novel about a man obsessed with negotiating a slightly lower price for a pied-à-terre, as the riverside view is somewhat obstructed, while his nation falls into civil war around him has been called "a cutting satire about the middle classes". But it's not. It's a story about a guy not giving up.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.
I have two sons, and I don't think I've ever seen messaging going "Don't be a boy" or "YOU'RE BAD."

Sure looks like that's in "I heard someone say that they heard..." territory, rather than actual direct experience.

Also worth noting, the main message from manosphere influencers is "YOU'RE BAD."
It's a brutal time for young men, and to be raising one. The primary message they now is get is "YOU'RE BAD" without any meaningful attempt to offer healthy pathways beyond "Don't be a boy."

Absolutely perfect time for right wing monsters to sweep in with shitty answers.

Every story I’ve read so far in @joshdenslow.bsky.social’s new collection is magic.
“Therapy,” specifically, is a pitch-perfect story about a struggling marriage AND a legit scary-at-moments horror story AND so funny I wrote “lol” in the margins a few times and actually laughed out loud a couple.

Chuck Schumer out the dang window that’s what I say!!’
Sen. Michael Bennett gave a thoughtful critique of his own party for its "inability to offer a compelling vision"; but when asked if he agrees, Chuck Schumer replied: "No. We're doing very well."
