They say they want Americans to have more babies. What's beneath the surface? Pronatalists believe that modern culture has failed to adequately prioritize the value of nuclear families and making lots of babies. They see powerful potential allies in Elon Musk and JD Vance.

Nah, this isn’t terrifying at allβ€¦πŸ˜³

What is pronatalism, and what role do Musk and Vance have with it?

Elon's involvement in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race cost his candidate around 5% of the vote--even though he spent $25 million dollars on his behalf.

Elon's endorsee ran 5 points behind the other statewide Republican candidate. That's an unbelievably negative return on investment.

The correct name is the Gulf of Mexico. The re-naming is not done to correct the historical record, but rather to reflect the arrogance and hubris of, and to avoid retribution by, the current wannabe dictator.

White House pauses all federal grants, sparking confusion The Trump administration has put a hold on all federal financial grants and loans, affecting tens of billions of dollars in payments.

I think some people hear β€œgrants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.

β€œPausing” grants means people don’t eat.

The price America paid for its first big immigration crackdown The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first significant crackdown on immigration in American history. We explore the factors that led to the Act and examine what happened to the economy after it passed.

It’s been a while since I made any updates to The List That Couldn’t Be Named Over There; this item will certainly go on it, because a lot of what’s described from the 1800s sounds…familiar…
