The way to a healthier & wealthier future is to center our lives around the home, with jobs (remote work for as many as possible!), family (allow ADUs and granny flats everywhere!), and community (walkable, mixed use, & transit-rich neighborhoods!). Let's do it.
Just finished talking on a panel for a nice @BrookingsInst event about REMOTE WORK AND FERTILITY.
Here's a finding I haven't published anywhere on remote work and fertility across 8.6 MILLION employed women in the ACS. Remote-working women have WAY higher birth rates!!!
I’m sickened by that degrading spectacle. And to think the bust of Winston Churchill was in the same room as it unfolded. He would be turning in his grave if he saw that happen.
Ukraine’s people, led by President Zelenskyy, have fought bravely to hold off Putin over the last three years with US and European support. Zelenskyy has shown sincere gratitude for the support offered by his partners. We salute him and the courageous Ukrainians as they fight for freedom against Russian imperialism.
Countries can and do disagree, but the West must show a united front to our enemies.
It’s wild how JD Vance, who built his whole political brand around the supposedly monstrous indignities of being spoken down to, is himself such a hectoring, condescending man.
Kudos to @jpodhoretz for this:
"Trump is under no obligation to support Ukraine. If he doesn’t, he doesn’t. But doing so while accusing Ukraine of being the aggressor in the most unjustified, pitiless, and brutal war of aggression in our time is an act of infamy almost without parallel."
I'm sorry but Paddington Bear is a better role model than Andrew Tate. Paddington is kind and polite. he spends an entire summer working in the hopes of buying a book for his great-aunt. and he has not been credibly accused of sex trafficking.
I know it is hard for some people to understand but countries of Europe -including Norway and UK have given more in aid to Ukraine than the US. In Military aid alone we are neck and neck. If you include humanitarian and financial it is more by over $20bn
Tucker Carlson says Winston Churchill was not a hero because he didn’t save Western civilization.
?????????????????
I'm honestly at a loss for words. This thing has gone so far off the deep end, it's frightening. He's completely lost his mind.
A core feature of WASP culture was a reluctance to engage in ostentatious class displays. This “aesthetic egalitarianism” — beauty in simplicity —was central to the American ethos. With the waning of WASP influence, we have a reversion to global norms around class mogging. This is visible everywhere from kardashioid instagram accounts to President Trump’s golden toilets.
