Empathy is like a foreign language best taught immersively and when your a child. Growing up in a “No Blood, No Pity” household where empathy was replaced with punishment or neglect is like being taught that language by someone who has only vaguely heard it but still proclaims themselves an expert.
Ramaswamy has produced an attack ad weaponizing the rape of his opponent, Amy Acton, when she was 12 years old. It features Acton’s mother, who abandoned Acton after she was raped by her step-father, fleeing the state with her husband.
Here is the corporate money helping fund that ad.
Amy Acton on Vivek Ramaswamy's abhorrent campaign ad:
"I won't normalize somebody who has said that my childhood is 'something I'm just complaining about,' who today, just released an ad using my birth mother, who I was removed from at the age of 12 for severe abuse and neglect and sexual abuse."
This lady was canvassing for Greg Abbott in Texas when she asked a homeowner if she could count on his support in the upcoming election. Then the fun begins.
I realize that as someone who doesn’t have kids young enough to be interested in toys, I may be behind the times, but what is with the Sad Babies, though? One is literally dressed as a lobster in a boiling pot of water! These were at Walmart.
Listening to Trump ramble on at the U. N. feels a lot like when I run on the treadmill. I think, “ Surely it’s been 15 minutes!” But, no, it’s only been 5.
⛽️ MAGA TRUCKERS: “There’s no reason for this… My truck’s gonna sit there and rot until this idiot is out of office… I never thought I’d say this but I miss Biden… we’re dying out here and they don’t give a shit…”

🔥 WATCH: “Trump lies and lies. None of what he said is true. For 25 years Trump has lied about 9/11 to put himself in the story and make himself the hero.”
Best-selling author @jeffpearlman recounts Trump’s sick, narcissistic lies about 9/11 and other tragedies.
I watched Mayor Mamdani’s press conference today and I’m pretty sure some weirdo Christian/ reverend tried to hack the end of the broadcast. It was just a snippet and then cut off, but what the heck C-SPAN?
When I hit my 40’s and realized that not only do my parents not know me but that they don’t really care to, it made it ok to let go. I don’t miss them. In fact, I wish I’d cut them off earlier and saved myself a lot of stress and anxiety.
It’s stripes week for #showmeyourknits. I like self-striping yarn for small things like gloves or socks, but I want to choose my colors for bigger things like hats cause it drives me crazy if the color change doesn’t last for a full row. #knitsky
My buddy Jace is a Grammy-winning classical pianist. Based on this video, you’d never guess it. His sense of humor is every bit as virtuoso as his playing.
Hey, fellow knitters and crocheters, do you ever think about a phrogger living up in your attic who is ALSO a knitter and crocheter? You would come home from work to find that special yarn you’ve been saving for 10 years is now a shawl you don’t remember making. #knitsky
