One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving β€œmasculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between β€œfemininity” and β€œmasculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.

Ukraine wants whistleblowers. How is it strengthening their protection?

"Experience from other countries shows that whistleblowing only works when three things are in place: strong protection, real financial incentives, and easy-to-use reporting tools," writes Hanna Novosolova in this op-ed.

Grok: U.S. farmers would be unequivocally better off selling products freely without Trump tariffs. The $12 billion handout offers temporary survival but perpetuates a cycle of pain and dependency, while free trade delivers sustainable income, lower costs, and global competitiveness.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Trump to Unveil $12 Billion Bailout for Farmers The financial aid comes as the agriculture sector grapples with the fallout from the president’s tariffs.

1) Impose massive tariffs on China
2) China retaliates by ending its soybean imports
3) Cut deal w/ China so they'll buy our soybeans
4) China buys only 20%, so far, of what it agreed to purchase
5) Offer $12 billion to US farmers so they don't go bankrupt

Trump is giving another $12 billion of taxpayer money to bail out farmers again from his disastrous policies. Just like he had to bail them out in his first term from his disastrous policies. But they will continue to vote Republican, as long as they keep getting their welfare checks.

What I always hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.”

What I never hear: β€œWe can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.”

Funny how that works.
