There's a well-known relationship between abortion restrictions and worse health outcomes for women and children.

I've also read harrowing accounts from women who resorted to infanticide because they couldn't get an abortion. While I couldn't find the specific anecdotes I'd seen before, I found that the Wikipedia page on this topic has plenty of info showing that access to safe abortions does reduce infanticide.

I didnโ€™t hear about the vandalizing of private jets until people were complaining about stone henge.

It'd be a bit odd if you had heard about the jets before the Stonehenge stunt since they vandalized the jets one day after Stonehenge. I heard about each of them on the day they happened as I was listening to the news.

this does seem like a much more effective way of bringing attention to the issue.

Even most leftists didn't support the Stonehenge stunt while the majority of comments and posts I've seen on the vandalism of the jets was positive. The majority of the public has grievances towards private jets, their pollution and who's using them, and how they should be taxed. You'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who thinks Stonehenge is bad or that vandalizing it is good.

This only serves to make them and other climate activists look like petty fools, besides creating infighting on the left. Nearly everyone already knows about climate change and has an opinion on it, and the Stonehenge stunt does nothing to move the public to our side or make Just Stop Oil look good.

The Stonehenge stunt was an ineffective attention grab. Vandalizing the private jets was an effective attention grab.

Like if some Just Stop Oil activist took a shit in the middle of a busy NY street that would get them a lot of attention, but it wouldn't be even remotely positive or effective in any way.

They should stick to vandalizing the property of the biggest culprits of climate change. I and most other leftists can get behind that, and it actually puts a spotlight on the people causing the problem. The Stonehenge stunt just comes off as a petty attack on the public who has little to no say on climate issues.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/john-fetterman-tells-maher-that-near-death-experience-freed-him-to-speak-out-says-progressivism-left-me/ar-BB1nS49V

From the article:

The liberal comedian then asked Fetterman whether his shift in various policies had anything to do with his recovery from his 2022 stroke, asking if his near-death experience had given him a "freedom."

"Absolutely," Fetterman responded. "There's a line from the first 'Batman,' Joker's like โ€˜Iโ€™ve been dead once already. It's very liberating.'"

"It's freeing in a way. And I just think after beating all of that, I just really [want to] be able to say the things that I have to really believe in and not be afraid of if there's any kind of blowback."

So basically yes, the stroke made him a Republican. Pathetic and disappointing, but all too predictable.

It is, in fact, very easy to code a game!

from pygame import game
game.load_player()
game.load_enemies()
game.load_audio()
game.run()

An entertaining read that further cements Musk as an honest-to-god unhinged idiot. I've seen a lot of people speculate that him buying Twitter and tanking its value was some kind of genius plot, but the simpler explanation is that he's just unironically stupid and a bad businessman.

The fact that he has another burner account which he uses to get around blocks and hurl insults at others is both really funny and completely expected. I'm willing to bet a signed dollar that he has yet another alt that he uses to lean even further right and say the N-word on a regular basis.

I can't be the only one who thinks conservatives' constant whining about women being "too old to marry" is (for lack of a better term) really pedo coded, right? It's starting to sound like pattern...

Honestly I don't even really care that much that she's shoplifting, I find it hard to sympathize with a multi-billion-dollar company losing a small fraction of their profits.

But then she insists that she's not actually a shoplifter, and brags about her income and how she's a great person as if she's trying to separate herself from "the bad shoplifters", which gives me the same vibes as the article "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion".

The title looks like it's trying to imply that the thiefs specifically targeted her, when the article makes it more clear that they likely just tried to steal the car not knowing it was from the Secret Service.

Gotta add that clickbait for the views ๐Ÿ™„

That's only if they draw an actual swastika. Nazis are so dumb that half the time they can't even draw a proper one.
