Strong agree on the lack of punctuation.
Medium has become a bit of a cesspool for low-effort hot takes. Sometimes the articles make a great point but are not very well written (as is the case with this one). But more often than not they are a single, unfounded, absurd rage-bait argument that’s been spun out into an article with the help of AI.

Yeah. I’m not a fan of her. But saying she can’t sing seems a bit ridiculous.
Well, they’re dead inside. But I don’t think that technically counts.
Not just Jesus, but super-white supply-side Jesus!

The incident occurred at Sixth Ward Middle School in August when the school year began. The girl’s father, Joseph Daniels, and the attorneys say the young girl endured bullying after the deepfake nude image was circulated throughout the school.
Not only child porn, but distribution of child porn too.
Not a good look there LaFourche Parish School District, or the specific school in question!
I hope she gets justice.
Whataboutism at its finest.
Whatever. Lock all the predators away.
I completely know what you mean.
It’s all good, mate.
Pretty sure it’s already here. That’s usually how these things work. Based on sewage samples, COVID-19 got here back in September 2019 - several months before any officials wanted to admit.
There’s currently a really nasty cold racing through schools on the West Coast. I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s it.
Literally went missing. As opposed to his followers. Their brains went figuratively missing when they started following him and his modern acolytes.
Not to mention the fact that the ultra rich and powerful seem to get away scott free with their crimes. While the serial killers in these documentaries were brought to at least some form of justice.
Thanksgiving is going to be interesting in that household this year.
Your 15 minutes of game is over, Kim Davies. Stop trying to milk it. Go back under your bridge, you miserable little troll.
The ultra wealthy already got their ‘tariff dividend’, in the form of not tax breaks and a discrete heads-up of when to play the market to real maybe amounts of extra wealth.
As for the rest, this offer is just more bullshit. If it does surface (which is very unlikely) there will be some strings attached. And it will in no way fully compensate most people for the turmoil caused by these tariffs.
I wouldn’t recommend this. It wrecks the enamel and causes a lot of tiny pock marks that just accumulate more grime later on.

Haha, sounds about right. We’re the forgotten generation. But that’s okay.

He clearly lives in a completely different reality to me and millions of other people.
There was a clip from the other day where a reporter asked him about a person they had interviewed who stated that grocery prices have gone way up.
His response? “She’s wrong!”
Putting aside the fact that he was clearly and profoundly incorrect, the unbridled dismissiveness of his response is crazy.
So the woman who was at the grocery store buying groceries just like she is every week, and noticing prices going up again (not to mention shrinkification), is wrong. And you, Donald, who has no fucking clue how much any groceries are, are right?
Give me a break!
Interesting phrasing here. It could be construed as saying that women are shirking work.
Also, the conclusion seems a bit simple. The number of babies being born has gone up a bit, therefore these women are leaving the workplace to become traditional mothers.
Considering how many couples have basically given up on having kids due to the cost of living; and how the cost of living has gone up even more sharply this year; this conclusion seems suspect. Other questions should be asked. Like what are the regions of where these babies are born, and the political leanings of their parents.
Maybe women are generally leaving the workplace because of a shrinking job market and/or AI, and a pushback against DEI hiring (which would favor white straight men). And a small number of them are really keen on having kids, and that’s making it look like a broader trend across the entire national demographic.
