It's mind-boggling that people keep pretending we're losing this war.

US Army Secretary Driscoll: Ukrainians have fundamentally altered how humans engage in conflict. They've done an absolutely amazing job of innovating, and I am publicly on record saying we're learning a lot from them and we're changing to a lot of lessons that they've developed.

More conversations like this please. Have the civil debate, invite someone you disagree with to sit down with you instead of lambasting on X, and then trust the viewers to be smart enough to decide for themselves.

@allie__voss The Hallmark movie “Career Woman” who left the hometown lumberjack for her *big city career that makes her work on Christmas* isn’t a real person.
English
To be clear, I do think there are issues with women prioritizing careers at the expense of families, but honestly, it's usually the ones who are married and (often) have kids. Whereas the "girlboss" critiques usually envision an urbanite career woman shooing away marriage proposals to dedicate herself to a "fake email job," a phenomenon so rare it's really a silly thing to focus on
English
The girlboss theory of fertility decline is weirdly persistent, I think, because it makes people feel morally superior
Doesn't matter that the data doesn't support it, it provides an easy villain and that's what matters!

I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart Now I'm freeeee, Free Press-ing In @TheFP, I offer a concise(ish) answer to the question of whether we can blame the "girlboss" for America's recent drop in fertility. The answer will surprise you!

@IvanaDGreco @LeahLibresco @PTBwrites Especially if all the policies are focused on addressing “the girl boss” problem, it won’t solve it because that’s not where the problem is. Yelling at girl bosses gets likes, not solutions
English
I think it's good government policy to help people have kids they want to have! I just don't want the U.S. federal government wrapped up in questions of how to drive up births to increase the Social Security Trust fund, or what have you. It's gonna be very bad at it, as I think these debates are helping to illustrate.
English
I really enjoyed this essay by @PTBwrites on why it doesn't make sense to blame "girl bosses" for declining birthrates, since the women who aren't having kids are mostly working-class and unmarried.
The whole debate, btw, reinforces my position that I am not a pro-natalist, and no one can convince me to become one. Too often efforts to increase the birthrate is just code for other cultural baggage we're trying to deal with.

Just discussed this point with @kilmeade
Bottom line: Iran is trying to get recognition that IT decides when the Strait is open. We should reject that. Iran doesn’t decide the fate of this corridor.
Richard Goldberg@rich_goldberg
Seems overlooked and in need of clarity: Iran's Foreign Minister nevertheless added that "this passage must be conducted along the coordinated and pre-announced route by the Islamic Republic of Iran's Ports and Maritime Organization."

@lutherabel1 The one I heard most about was egg bake… where green beans, corn or whatever canned food they had was thrown in an egg dish 😂
English
@akjergaard1 Yep. Dry chicken, suspect hamburger patties, and canned green beans are about all that one will ever see, especially on flattops.
English
So average midnight rations (midrats)? Spare us the hysterics.

Begging Apple to please bring back iPod Nano for kids (also for me). Like iPod Nano joint venture with Spotify, all it does is music, podcasts, and the brick game

@allie__voss Also, justice for Togo who did the worst and longest part of the sled-run

This is sweet and all but I’m so glad we don’t do this with like, presidents and whatnot

@JillFilipovic I guess outside a context of viewing the man as the leader of your family when you’re married you’d view it as him clinging to his old identity. I see it as him keeping the name but now building something entirely new with it.
English
Hmm seems bad then that men are almost universally refusing to embrace their new married identities!
Allie ✞@allie__voss
Changing your name is not giving up who you are, it's embracing who you are now that you're married NOT changing your name is, in my opinion, ignoring your new identity

I keep posting these clips because they make me so happy! Would love to see them in person one day.

POWERFUL NEW AUDIO: U.S. forces give a FINAL WARNING to all ships that may try to get past the American naval blockade in the Middle East.
CENTCOM releasing the powerful message it’s sending to all vessels attempting to enter or leave Iranian ports:
"If you do not comply with this blockade, we will use force. The whole of the United States Navy is ready to force compliance."

Bittersweet news: Today was my last day at National Review. This job has been a blast and I feel incredibly lucky & grateful to have worked alongside so many brilliant colleagues. @NRO is a superb place to work, and I am incredibly proud to have called the place home.
Have a couple more pieces in the hopper before I start a new reporting gig in May that I’ll announce soon. Until then, thanks for reading!
