What was the leading driver of this stark increase in infant mortality, you ask? Women being forced to carry non-viable pregnancies to term. 💔

Yes! It sounds like some weird Netflix series but this is the painful reality of Silicon Valley and it takes serious skill to make it through some of the parties without losing composure.

Teddy Roosevelt lost, while Reagan saw an 8-point boost in popularity that was *entirely* gone 3 months later in a far less polarized time. None of you know how this is going to play out. Just stop confidently acting like sages and admit you’re as dumb as everyone else.

I’ll just send out this tweet next time someone asks me why I had no interest in a German husband. 😉

A tale as old as time. We all have to potentially pay a high price for some dude’s very fragile ego.

today brings us a new greatest hits in “the appearance of objectivity” cannon: newspaper that is currently running an international press freedom campaign - directly involving its reporters and editors - fires a reporter for being elected to run a press freedom group.

"Vance has benefited from the gullibility of the mainstream press, which never tires in its search for a white working-class whisperer. Vance, a venture capitalist, stopped being anything like working class long ago. No one should be fooled." -- Noah Berlatsky publicnotice.co/p/jd-vance-pho…

My very favourite thing on the internet today. Regulation matters. 😂 Thank you Alistair Barrie and ICO - Information Commissioner's Office!

They did what now?! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Zuck praises an authoritarian who tried to overthrow American democracy. This is how normalization works.

We are back to talking about crowd size?? What’s next? The size of his hands compared to hers? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I just overheard someone in an airport lounge saying: “I’m not going to therapy. I’m just rawdogging life.” That is just wrong on so many levels. nytimes.com/2024/07/17/sty…

I’m sooo looking forward to my brilliant friend Marietje Schaake’s new book!

He is just like every single misogynistic troll who just can’t help himself on this platform. Doubling down on the most boring tropes, begging for applause from his sad troll friends. #Shillbilly

The difference in this election is pretty straightforward: Kamala Harris wants to give fourth graders free lunches, while Donald Trump wants to force them to give birth.

I have never met anyone in the wild who actually uses the term “ding dong”, let alone in a political discussion. Was that his favourite insult when he attended kindergarten in the 1920s? Bless his heart.

They actually handed out “YOU’RE FIRED!” signs to the crowd to hold up in the background while JD Vance was speaking and didn’t think through who it would look like they were saying this to (J.D. Vance). Surreal level of incompetence permanently on display from this campaign.

It is not healthy for our democracy that a large swathe of our political media has totally, completely, & utterly lost the plot

Epic proof of the existence of German Humour.

Just as a reminder, kids are not dying in fucking mass readings. We need to be banning guns not books.
