It is genuinely insane that laws based on reality are being changed based on what people like to wear.

Pete Hegseth not signing off on air defence interceptor deliveries to Ukraine that Europe has already paid for is going to cost more Ukrainian lives for every day that these shipments don't arrive.
Outgoing pro-Ukraine Republicans have the chance to act.

It’s true that this article doesn’t explicitly mention there “not being enough books for boys” as the culprit for their lower reading levels, but it does mention two things Katie’s been arguing against:
>a biological basis for the differences in literacy rates between boys and girls
>that developing a reading habit into adulthood is downstream of enjoyment
If you treat the innate interests of boys as problematic and force them to read books they don’t like just to prove a point about the “gender binary” you’re likely doing much more damage to their literacy rates long term than if we just… published books they actually want to read
If you’re at all curious about the actual problem then this is a great article to read! Spoiler: it’s not because there’s not enough books about boys. nytimes.com/2026/01/30/upsho…

The last diesel tanker which was still heading for US shores has turned around.
So in summary, Trump's diesel deal with Putin caused no diesel to arrive in the US, didn't drop diesel prices, and caused his party to badly lose the US Midterms.
The Art Of The Deal indeed. 📉💥

"Offenders who killed men received shorter sentences than those who killed women. As the table shows, the average sentence when the victim was male was 17.5 years, compared with 22.4 years when the victim was female."

You know when I see soldiers I think are cold blooded child killers what I'd totally do is send my children up to them to threaten them.

Oh dear. History as the left wants it to be rather than as it actually is.
"Praising the UK..." No it isn't. We were the only nation to do it. Even bribed or threatened others with gunboats (imperialism 10/10) others into complying. If we hadn't done that millions more would have been enslaved.
Key point - scrap the mass guilt. Over slavery, one generation did bad, the next did good. You don't blame a child because its father was a rapist. So dumb.
"Britain organised" As implied, it did it alone. No, it didn't. Add Spain, Portugal, France, and West African tribes. Arab-Islamic slave captures numbered 11m-14m, European nations combined were 12.5m.
"Much of our wealth" - No, simply untrue. Widely discredited left wing propaganda.
"Compensation" - again no. HMG plus the British people gave money each year for ten years after emancipation to build schools, clinics, churches to help freed slaves establish a new society.
No one wants to talk about that because it's yet another incovenient truth which punctures the left wing narrative.
On top of this, remember - this was the 1830s. They wouldn't have given any money to directly to British peasants either. To suggest they'd ever give cash handouts to freed slaves directly is judging the past by the present and is historically illiterate.
But then again, so is the whole of his post.
Praising UK for ending slavery is like praising a rapist who stops raping
Britain organised the slave trade. Much of our wealth is based on it. We ended the slave trade by paying the slave owners millions in compensation but gave not a penny to the slaves

OTD in 1999 the OSCE conference was in Istanbul. Russia promised to remove our troops from Moldova & Georgia by end of 2002.
We lied. But Ukraine should believe Russia’s promises over peace now..

Palestine 🇵🇸 & North Korea 🇰🇵 = A 70-year alliance
Israel 🇮🇱 & South Korea 🇰🇷 = A 70-year alliance
For South Koreans, standing with Israel is simply common sense.🇰🇷🇮🇱
🇵🇸🇰🇵 Palestine and North Korea share ties so deep that they even exchange high honors. In 1986, the two conspired to sabotage the Asian Games hosted by South Korea, bombing Gimpo Airport and murdering innocent civilians. This is common knowledge among the Korean public.
Supporting Palestine ultimately means funding North Korea — as Palestine buys weapons from North Korea and sends them money, paving a path toward South Korea's destruction. This is why we know we must stand with Israel.
This is a matter of South Korea’s very survival.
Do you want North Korea to grow stronger, or South Korea?
Whose side will you stand on?
📸 Photos 1 & 2: In 1986, North Korea and Abu Nidal, a Palestinian terrorist group, conspired to sabotage South Korea’s Asian Games by bombing Gimpo Airport, killing innocent civilians. Palestine has never once offered an apology for this attack.
📸 Photos 3 & 4: In October 1981, Kim Il-sung invited Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat to North Korea and awarded him the title of "Hero of the Republic." In 1990, Arafat referred to Kim Il-sung as "my closest elder brother."
🇨🇳🇰🇵🇵🇸 Hamas, Palestine, and North Korea share a very close relationship. On October 7, 2023, many of the weapons used in the massacre of Israeli civilians were confirmed to be North Korean-made. Palestine and North Korea exchange money and weapons, and Palestine has received military training from North Korea since 1963.
Even beyond Hamas, the Palestinian “moderate government” backs the Chinese Communist Party over the Philippines in the South China Sea dispute. It also supports the CCP’s control of Hong Kong and has declared that the Uyghur genocide is not an issue—because the Chinese Communist Party helps sustain the Palestinian regime.
If you oppose North Korea and the Chinese Communist Party, know that Palestine is on the same side. These regimes need each other to stay in power. Islam and communism are not separate here; they are linked as one. Free democratic countries, do not be fooled.

This is the kind of headline you read and your mind just refuses to believe it. You assume there must be some exaggeration or misinformation, or some nuanced fact is being exploited to paint an inaccurate picture.
Because surely it cant be this, right? Surely theres no way a 20 y/o man could have his sentence overturned because it wasnt established at his trial whether he "thought he was having consensual sex with a 10 y/o".
But then you read the article (article 🔗'd in reply) and thats literally what it is. This is what makes ppl think our leaders hate us, this is what deligitimizes the Liberal project in many people's minds.
Like many liberal-minded people of my generation, I grew up believing that progressivism promised a better way, a more fair and just world, where people really WERE judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin.
When I see stuff like this, i cannot help but think something is deeply wrong with the state of the modern Left. After all, to paraphrase the psycho from No Country For Old Men:
"If the liberalism you followed brought you to this....of what use was your liberalism?"

Pretty funny to apply the “Yet you participate in society” meme to an anticapitalist agitator who’s a Nike marketing exec.
Idgaf about people’s jobs but…you don’t actually have to work for Nike! Plenty of jobs involve helping the community; I assume the pay at Nike is better.

Zelenskyy: At the Abu Dhabi talks, Russian military intelligence told the negotiators that Russia has occupied half of the Donbas territory Ukraine actually controls.
Our officers answered that they have video images of their own soldiers holding it. 1/

It's kind of hard to understand why, when Hamas threatens the UN to keep them from giving tents to Gazans, the UN just goes along with it.
It feels like a completely toothless organization.
"Last week... with torrential rain forecast, gunmen from Hamas’s internal security units summoned Palestinian civil servants who were trying to make the refugee camps safer from rain and forced them to sign pledges not to enter those areas."

Symphonic orchestras implemented blind auditions because they are fair and eliminate biases.
When this didn’t produce the fashionable mix of token races liberals wanted, establishment press like @nytimes tried to dismantle it:
The phrase “artistic excellence” was deleted from an early draft of the Boston Symphony Orchestra’s strategic plan.
In September 2025, conductor Andris Nelsons asked that it be restored, because excellence is the “indispensable engine for everything the BSO does.”
Five months later, the board voted to terminate his contract.

Two months ago, this same activist went to a city council meeting to push for a roof-repair fund so taxpayers could fix her roof. A Democratic lawmaker was like...with what money? You blocked the data center.

The notion that we're all born blank slates will probably be with us forever. It's a belief that's essentially immovable no matter the quality or quantity of evidence against it. The goalpost can and will always be moved. All we can ever hope to do is manage its most damaging consequences.
The gender binary is made up. Not “on these things.” Just in general. It’s a social construct. Completely made up concept. You aren’t born liking different things because you’re a boy. Your interests are a direct result of your socialization and upbringing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Sex differences in interests and toy preferences emerge early in infancy and parallel patterns in nonhuman primates, indicating biological factors alongside socialization. Meta-analyses document large consistent differences in things- versus people-oriented interests.

Ceding Ukrainian land for peace is just abstract words. It’s not only about reality, even more about philosophy. Putin was talking about Donbas, but then he decided to occupy Kyiv, our capital. His words were about Donbas, but the reality was about Kyiv. He kept saying he was defending Russian-speaking people and then tortured hundreds and thousands to death in Bucha and other places. So that wasn’t about Russian-speaking people.
This is why when Americans asked, “Can you exchange Donbas for security?” I said right there, “Can you tell me what it means? What security? NATO?”
“Not NATO, but similar to NATO.”
“Similar? But you don't want the answer about Donbas to be ‘similar.’ You want a clear answer about Donbas. This is your goal. And this is Putin’s goal, for today. What will you do if we have security guarantees but not NATO?”
They took our nuclear weapons. I'm not a fan of nuclear weapons. I think the world would be a better place without them. But the Russians took our nuclear weapons, didn’t they? They did. Then they stopped our integration into Europe, then prevented us from being in NATO. And in the end they occupied us. This is why it’s an abstract question. Nobody trusts Putin to stop if we leave Donbas. He will pause. Then he will come back in one year, two years, or five years. And who will be guilty?
