Wait--is your mom from Hillsdale? That's where I grew up!

lol women have been crossing the street to get away from men for literally ever, this is not new.

Did he...did he just "OK Boomer" DC? I never thought Miller's real agenda was against old white hippies, but here we are.

Buying sanitary products is not a sacred experience. I remember being enraged that we had to pay for them, when men don't have that expense. Re: Bras--having folks with bodies similar to and different than mine in the lingerie section has been immensely comforting, not traumatic, especially as a kid

You've already read Firekeeper's Daughter and Warrior Girl Unearthed, I assume? They move fast and don't require big brain, but CAN require big brain when you're feeling up for it

Can we keep calling these folks weird? Because grown male politicians talking about buying kids dolls is weird.

These jobs are only available to those who already have the skills. To get the skills, you need to pay. Once you have the skills, you need to be paid enough to pay back your loans. It's not that they don't want the jobs. Employers won't train their labor or pay for training.

Also, employers could provide training for skilled labor--they could hire actual entry-level folks and train them up instead of requiring years of self-funded training. But that means being a little less greedy so...

Skilled trades started dying when employers started expecting the public schools to pay for training. People I graduated high school with WOULD have gone into more trades, if they were willing to hire and train

Yeah, kids go absolutely feral for Terry Gross. What kindergartner hasn't demanded that The Diane Rehm Show return?

Boil 'em, mash 'em, dye 'em, turn 'em blue

But did the Coreys of the 80s adequately prepare this country for a "President Corey?" I don't know if we are ready for that.

Does anyone else remember the Oreos animation from the early 2000s? It made the budget super easy to understand.

Yep, this looks an awful lot like scapegoating

Love hearing @ayesharascoe.bsky.social on Weekend Edition. She always sounds truly thrilled to be on public radio. Her enthusiasm and joy are infectious, and if she can bring that energy to current events, maybe I can bring it to my little computer job.

Never forget

@jowrotethis.bsky.social Loved the Cold Comfort Farm shoutout on the latest House of R. My introduction to Kate Beckinsale--iconic.

Remember how Republicans didn't want a ladies room in the Capitol at all? They still aren't over it.
