There are women right now paying $2,000 a month for someone else to raise their kids so they can go make $2,400 a month at a job they hate.
That's $400 to miss your kid's first words.
Somehow someone convinced an entire generation of women that this was freedom. Crazy.
Bill Maher: "NEW RULE: If you work for VunaNexus, the company that collects human urine and turns it into liquid fertilizer, and I sit next to you on a plane and ask, ‘So what do you do for a living?’ Just lie and tell me you’re in sales."
We have lost our minds.
A jury convicted Karmelo Anthony of murder for stabbing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf to death. Evidence was presented. Witnesses testified. Self-defense was rejected. He got 35 years.
That’s not a “legal lynching.” That’s justice.
Crying racism because the killer is Black and the victim was White doesn’t change the facts: actions have consequences.
Austin is dead. His family grieves. The system worked.
Stop excusing violence.

Day care is causing the ADHD epidemic.
That’s the provocative take from psychotherapist Erica Komisar on John Anderson’s podcast. She argues that putting very young babies into long hours of daycare creates chronic stress that flips the brain’s stress switch (the amygdala) on way too early.
It goes into hypervigilant mode, eventually burns out, and leaves kids in a constant low-level fight-or-flight state, which gets labeled as ADHD.
She says there’s no strong genetic cause for ADHD. It’s largely a response to the environment we’re putting kids in.
This one really made me pause. We’re wiring tiny brains for survival mode before they’ve even had a chance to develop properly.
If much of the ADHD explosion is coming from early chronic stress and separation, then rethinking daycare norms and early childcare could dramatically improve kids’ mental health long-term.
What’s your experience or observation, do you think modern daycare schedules are contributing to rising ADHD rates?
