BREAKING: South Carolina's Supreme Court just struck down the state's six-week abortion ban because it violated a woman's right to privacy. A victory for those who care about women's rights & reproductive health access, but we must still codify the right to abortion federally.

Thanks to everybody who voted for these unserious, anti-democratic arsonists who will be paid over $170,000 a year of taxpayer money to keep burning it all down. Good work.

Insurrectionists were in the House before 1/6, and they never left.

The way people act like Covid deaths are incredibly rare while over 10,000 Americans quietly die of acute Covid each month is really, really strange. That number doesn’t even take into account all the people who are dying of Covid complications months & years after “recovery.”

I’m no expert, but it’s almost as if the members of your party begin to peddle conspiracy theories, attempt to overturn an election, participate in an insurrection, spew hate, and reverse human rights, it can lead to major internal dysfunction, chaos, and division.

My request for 2023: stop using BMI.

If you're a member of the public, using it to suggest an 'ideal' weight: STOP.

If you're a clinician, using it to judge someone's weight: STOP.

If you're a scientist, using it as a proxy for adiposity: STOP.

@chrislhayes “Who would have guessed that a bunch of insurrection apologists would have trouble certifying a vote,” Jimmy Kimmel said. “I don’t know why he doesn’t just declare he won. Isn’t that how it works in that party?”

[Joshin and Jokien @joshcarlosjosh]

let's pick the next speaker of the house by offering a guided tour of the house to six randomly chosen children and their families, weeding them out one-by-one in a series of character tests with odd and unsettling musical numbers interspersed between them until one child remains

It drives me nuts that people in 2023 can understand that we need to filter and sanitise swimming pools, but can't see that we need to do the same for shared indoor air in virtually airtight modern buildings.

I’m never getting sworn in am I?

They told an entire generation of kids that they could just go to college and they would succeed, then straddled them with debt & asked why they didn’t become an electrician

[Natalie Page @NataliePage]

An abuse victim leaving abuse with children:

Police: Stop all contact

Social: Leave him to keep the kids safe

Family Court: You will now be sentenced to co-parent with him forever. Failure to do so means he will get the kids. He deserves it, no matter what he has done.

One of my least favorite LOTR takes is that Eowyn putting down the sword and taking up healing after killing the Witch King is some sort of return to the kitchen/domestic move from a heroic female character. It totally misses that healing in Tolkien’s world is a magic, nearly

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

People aren't deconstructing because it's "sexy" or because they're looking for excuses to sin.

They are doing it because the Christians they've encountered and the Christianity they've been handed are so unlike Christ.

@angmarsbane10 @the_tweedy I’m like 95% sure I remember reading an interview where he said he was open to it.
