No real answers, but it’s interesting

Whenever I’m reminded it exists, I go over there and find some people to follow. So, thanks!

She’s not a winner, either

Our moral backbone, Newt Gingrich:

She (Marianne Gingrich) said Newt moved for the divorce just months after she had been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, with her then-husband present.

“He also was advised by the doctor when I was sitting there that I was not to be under stress. He knew,” she said.

Gingrich divorced his first wife, Jackie, as she was being treated for cancer. His relationship with Marianne began while he was still married to Jackie but in divorce proceedings, Marianne said.

sleep paralysis episode and then kicked by a dog in its sleep? Or just lying to appeal to his audience?

Their editorial board has endorsed candidates for years. They were prepared to do so again, and then bezos met with trump and canceled the endorsement that was all ready to go. If they had stopped endorsements earlier, it wouldn’t be notable.

People itching to call her a c**t in the comments of that article. Which was the point of the ad - so chucklefucks could be all

Yes! 100% she is. wait, he they said communist? she’s that too

about a woman they don’t like

And Klein, who also called Soon-Shiong a “chickens—,” stated plainly in a note explaining her resignation that “the board was not the one choosing to remain silent. He blocked our voice.”

I really want to read the planned editorial now.

Based on the stuff that went on in the olympics, he’ll claim russia told him they had xy chromosomes, so everyone has to argue like that’s the absolute truth from then on.

Interesting! I’ll have to read it later, then

https://web.archive.org/web/20210312204123/https://www.newsweek.com/robert-paxton-trump-fascist-1560652 is the ny times article different substantially from his 2021 opinion?

I’m seeing 21.50 from articles in 2020 tying min wage to productivity. Maybe that’s the number basis? Or living wage? A living wage per state adjustment for one adult with one child seems to put lw around 30 in a lot of states, with the single adult needing 13-20.

maybe they weren’t, since not spanking children leads to better outcomes for them. Emotionally and cognitively.

Researchers are also finding that physical punishment is linked to slower cognitive development and adversely affects academic achievement

My take is that conspiracies happen, but I’m not smart enough to pick them out. If there’s legit evidence (the real trouble is deciding what that means), though, I can believe it.

Some billboards warn voters to “STOP Child Gender Surgery,” even though the amendment doesn’t mention gender-affirming care. Other billboards say it would permit abortions in the ninth month of pregnancy, though a state appeals court ruling in a case challenging the wording of the amendment’s summary on the ballot said that was not true.

So, they’re just plainly lying, huh. I was wondering how they tied the things together, but they’re just straight up lying to try and use general antitrans sentiment to get people to vote against their interests.

Just, classic tactics from them.

A three-judge panel on Thursday ruled that Tennessee doctors who provide emergency abortions to protect the life of the mother cannot have their medical licenses revoked or face other disciplinary actions while a lawsuit challenging the state’s sweeping abortion ban continues.

…

However, the judges also said that because they are a chancery court, they do not have the jurisdiction to block the criminal statute inside the ban — where violators face felony charges carrying a prison sentence as high as 15 years.

This means that while doctors will not face disciplinary actions from the Attorney General’s office and the Tennessee Board of Medical Examiners, they could still risk criminal charges under Thursday’s ruling.

I appreciate that Kim went over to make sure he was ok.

Yeah, I’ll never know their hearts and minds, so it doesn’t really matter compared to their actions.

I don’t mind giving them an out, personally, if they need a way to pretend they’re not shitty, amoral people (i was tricked! gosh! I would never parrot obvious lies for my own advantage! I was naive!) to resolve cognitive dissonance and stop being shitty in this way. I don’t blame anyone else for not giving that to them.

They don’t deserve it.

I’m glad they’re trying to do something about that bs. The sorts of people worming into election boards scare me even more than the election itself. They believe conspiracy theories so easily.

Misogyny isn’t just a man thing! Women participate it in (against the “bad” ones) all the time.
