Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Who is the “trad husband”?
Tradwives are everywhere on social media. Their allegedly dominant spouses are invisible.

the reason we don't have anything at all in this country, is because these insufferable people have spent 250 years worrying about the 100 people who might take advantage of a program that 300,000,000 people actually need.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

For the past six weeks, an AI Facebook account has been pulling my history posts on Instagram and slopping out new captions, so I’ve been feeding it poison pills and its followers are having meltdowns in the comments. It’s been pretty spectacular.
