Huge collapse in drinking among high schoolers 👀

It's remarkable how many independent, secular trends are anti-alcohol right now. Just off the top of my head - GLP-1s - post-1970s rise of helicopter parenting - reaction to the binge-drinking spike in late 20th c - phones killing teenage partying - surge in young adult fitness (dancing clubs down, running clubs up) - general rise of healthmaxxing culture among both liberal yuppies and MAHA devotees

🚨 Many Iranians view Golshifteh Farahani as being tied to deeply toxic political circles and ideological influences. She has been pictured alongside French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy (BHL), a figure who has angered many Iranians for years over his positions on Iran, Kurdish separatism, and Persian identity. BHL controversially argued that Reza Shah Pahlavi’s 1935 decision to rename Persia to Iran was influenced by Nazi-era “Aryan” ideology, a claim many Iranians see as an attack on a core part of modern Iranian nationalism and state-building. He has also strongly supported Kurdish independence movements and embedded himself with Peshmerga forces, leading critics to accuse him of promoting policies that could contribute to the fragmentation of Iran through ethnic division and separatism. Farahani’s association with BHL, combined with her anti-interventionist positions and her father Behzad Farahani’s communist playwright background, has fueled suspicion among parts of the Iranian opposition who view these circles as part of a soft-leftist intellectual environment often accused of being overly conciliatory toward the Islamic Republic and dismissive of Iranian nationalist concerns. For many critics, these are not isolated connections- they see a broader ideological pattern.

AOC: What is extremely disturbing about what has happened in Virginia is this court overturned the will of three million Virginians. They can say what they want about the ballot initiative, but they explicitly chose to issue this ruling after the election happened. They had all the time in the world to issue an opinion or an injunction before allowing this election to happen. They did not overturn a map—they overturned an election. It is the power of the American people that should be the ultimate check on all three branches. The court’s ability to overturn an election that was clear in its result should be something that is called into question.
