The best way to alienate your clientele is to suggest that half of them don't (or can't) read. Hope you guys aren't shelving any books about poverty, systematic economic alienation, addiction, lack of access to education, and/or political apathy to working class problems.

Homeschool kid here. I went to a top 25 college, earned a law degree from the same school, and have been working professionally in media for the last 8ish years. My brother is a division one scholarship athlete who now manages a business with 200ish employees. Thanks, mom.

“Look ... so you changed your business model so you could stay in business and out of financial ruination. Well I got a message for you. F*ck your new business model, and f*ck you.”
Earlier today, Governor Cuomo said chicken wings are not substantial food for bars to be allowed to sell alcohol. He added that sandwiches were the "lowest level" of substantive food.

The kind of thinking that says (as Warren did last night) that abortion is an "economic" right is the kind of thinking that can justify any act in the name of prosperity. When we diminish the value of the individual life for the notion of collective "wellness," we're China.

tween boy, nose in book: "I don't even have a phone."
tween girl: "well, I'd follow you if you did."
tween boy: "I'll keep that in mind."

If conservatives are serious about defending their space in the culture, they need to do what the left does: stop patronizing companies that hate them (including multinationals), call out alienating behavior where they see it, and actively support allies (often small & local).

Manchin is in a position to demand what West Virginia voters need and want. He’s willing to field lots of criticism from folks outside of the state to hold that line. That is, definitionally, representative democracy. It should be a playbook for lawmakers across party lines.

My family didn’t do gifts last Christmas. We’d made it through COVID (dad barely) & we decided we were enough. It was a hard time, but a bright spot was the way dad looked at the mountains on the way home from the hospital. It was as though he was seeing them for the first time.
