Children are anxious. Parents are stressed. Birthrates are at record lows. The problem is our family unfriendly culture. Parenting culture is too intense. Mating & Dating culture is dysfunctional. And our values are too individualistic. So I wrote a book.

Ever wonder what happens when the @TSA makes you throw away an oversized toiletry item @ the security checkpoint? @Reagan_Airport started a pilot program in April where they donate toiletries to local nonprofits. So far, they’ve donated more than 2,300 items! @nbcwashington

This is a bit embarrassing. Mamdani has a plan for paying for his city-owned grocery stores. He's planning to tap into a $140 million pile of subsidies for "corporate grocery stores." But that pile of money doesn't exist. He just misread a government website. (Link in reply)

If coronavirus and 9/11 are the two biggest events of our life, what is the third? (If you don't recall 9/11 or do recall Nixon resigning, you're not the target demo for this Q.)

I feel like almost all of my closest professional friends are pro-vax, anti-vax-mandate, mask-skeptical, anti-school closure. (My governor is, too.) This set of positions should have a name.

Lib media last week: "The White House released this dishonest photoshop!" Conservatives on Twitter (including me): "Come on, those letters are for explanation purposes. Nobody is dumb enough think he has those letters on his knuckles." ENTER TRUMP, stage left.

A point made last night: Jay Jones knew and worked with the guy he wanted to murder. He had met the kids he wanted dead. He knew the wife he wanted to hold her kids as they died.

my theory is that people think of NPR as left-wing because it has prominent arts coverage
