Shoutout to child care workers. You're all criminally underpaid by your employers, but do the most amazing work.

James Lindsay, a prominent right-wing pundit, had submitted the aforementioned adaptation of Marx and Engels’s work and gotten it published. The essay’s publication, per Lindsay, is proof that the far right is basically the same as the far left: that it is, in his words, part of a “woke right” corrupting conservatism from within.

The author is did it because he wants to begin his version of the night of the long knives and purify the conservative movement.

The emotional reaction I get to these stories is hard to put into words. It's a mix of deep sadness and incandescent rage. I just can't imagine being in that position and not wanting to firebomb a politician's house.

My little girl had a very high fever the other night and we were really worried about her, so we called the nurse on call hotline who advised us to wait and go to the urgent care centre in the morning unless she got suddenly worse overnight, then to head to emergency. It was all stressful enough just worrying about how sick she was. I can't imagine how much worse it would be having to worry about paying for any of those services on top of that.

Remember the partition of India? Remember the Nakba?

Telling 1 million people that they no longer have a home never ends well.

I feel like if it's made a big enough impression to have a mental health disorder named after it, it might not count.
