Ozymandias but everyone in the office calls her “Mandy” and it just feels too late to tell them she’d rather they didn’t

It's interesting because the online model of masculinity today is everything that I was taught not to be. Whiney, self-centred, arrogant, narcissistic, unkind, vain, selfish.
I'm re-watching Magnum P.I. and I can't believe how vastly superior the 1980s ideal of masculinity is, vs today's whining, lying misogynist edgelord ideal that we see in culture all the way up to the Presidency.
The 50's stereotypical man had at least some other things to offer. Typically noble or stoic. Perhaps serving the greater good. Instead it's now a bunch of energy drink selfish neurotics who spend too much time at the gym and have no developed personality at all but being online.

Someone needs to dig into the causes of this, and especially if there is any impact from the November election.
New York City went 12 days without a murder in November / December. That's tied for the longest stretch in history, according to the NYPD. As someone who was here when there were 6+ murders per day in this town, it continues to amaze me how safe the place is.

A good heuristic is that anyone who tries rationalize the decimation of the Reconstruction Amendments is a Confederate
You could write this. Or you could write: “That notion, which has been the rule in nearly every country in the Western Hemisphere for over a century, is grounded in the language of the 14th Amendment.”
All how you choose to frame it.

I just saw a real cock fight. They fought for like 3 minutes, then one skulks away and the other crows like crazy. It was pretty entertaining! And no one got tortured.

The housing crisis is actually a pension crisis.
Businesses around the world, with government complicity, took away fixed pensions and told people to rely on home value appreciation instead. And that only works if there is too little housing.

This is from the WBUR article. There’s…kind of a lot to unpack here.
![Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that Ferreira had a "previous arrest for battery." She entered the U.S. on a tourist visa that required her to leave the U.S. in 1999, McLaughlin said.
"Under President Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem, all individuals unlawfully present in the United States are subject to deportation," McLaughlin said.
A lawyer for Ferreira was not immediately available for comment.
No battery charges against Bruna Ferreira could be located in Massachusetts' online court records.
Michael Leavitt won $1 million in a DraftKings contest in 2014, according to The North Andover Eagle Tribune. At the time, the story said, Leavitt and Ferreira were engaged and their son was 8 months old.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:jmkqmjhcix7yldblun3fxjyy/bafkreifhkcmfr64hdluww4vocxb26fwfxkn4eei5rl4wyfzvvygekc3v3e@jpeg)
