Free college. Problem solved.

Fascinating how conservatives treat marriage as a market when it suits them and as something else entirely (the sacred duty of women, I guess) when it doesn't

Legacy media continues to sanewash Heritage’s wish list.

To save you a click: yes, of course this piece quotes so-called "experts" from IFS and AEI.

New research shows that marriage is more common among people with than without college degrees. But rather than use those findings to argue for investment in higher education, Fortune is blaming college-educated women for rejecting low-earning men w/o college degrees. fortune.com/2026/07/26/c...

From there, it's a slippery slope into awfulness. Because to maintain an audience of hate-readers (and the revenue those hate-readers generate, thus justifying their own employment), pundits have to get increasingly egregious with their takes.

Because by that point, they've acquired a sizeable audience of hate-readers. But the algorithm treats all clicks as equal. And so they become employable for the revenue they can generate from hate rather than like.

it's too bad Bourdieu is no longer with us, he would have eaten Paul for lunch

Is it time to liquidate economics? Political science? Physics? History? Biology? Chemistry? Engineering? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ No one asks dumb questions like this about the other academic disciplines they like. Also, let’s not use the word “liquidate” like this. Maybe you can read some sociology to figure out why.

Dang!!!

I hope this clip haunts the mentions every person and pundit who has the audacity to complain about a democratic candidate's lack of foreign policy experience.

This is literally the stuff of my nightmares

Yeesh!

I've gotten thwacked/pecked/scratched on the head enough times now that I'm contemplating wearing a bike helmet to run.

Male red-winged blackbirds are *extremely* territorial. And they nest in marshy areas. Which basically describes the entire Madison area. So, pretty much anywhere you run in the summer, you're at risk of pissing them off.

I have yet to find a trail in the Madison area where I can run 5+ miles in the summer and not get chased/dive-bombed by a red-winged blackbird.

When “hate click is still a click” is your editorial strategy:

Apparently, your foreign policy expertise is determined by the nationality of the women you've ogled.
