The Onion got new owners earlier this year, and they seem serious about making it a sharp and relevant publication

How large a flag are you flying? Simple window mount flag holders should work for flags up to about 18" x 12". For a bigger flag, if you have a trailer hitch installed you can get hitch mounted flag pole holders.

Nice flag, btw.

Republicans will have all three branches of the federal government captured, and there will be no brakes to repealing the ACA and going back to the old, much shittier system.

There is some room for hope. The GOP gained exactly that position in 2016 after the entire party ran on promises of repealing the ACA. They promptly became gridlocked by infighting and accomplished nothing for more than a year. They eventually gave up and instead passed a big tax cut to try and save face with their base. As much as Republicans love to rail against the ACA, many parts of it are very popular with their base and the party has never had a coherent plan for what to put in its place.

Oof, I never knew that.

There are definitely fewer women In the military in general. And many fewer women pursuing certain positions, like Rangers or SEALs.

The institutions moved slowly, too. Some groups within the military were hesitant to open up fully to women. And there are the usual systemic hurdles, like physical fitness tests that favored male physiques, which put women at a disadvantage until they were changed.

I think women’s participation in the military will mirror what we have seen in women’s athletics: as it becomes more common we will see closer parity between women and men. I also suspect the services will find that women tend to perform certain skills better than men.

If I remember correctly, the US started rolling back restrictions in 2013. Progress has definitely been slow, and we aren’t where we should be yet, but things are moving in the right direction.

Keep your stick on the ice. We’re all pullin’ for ya!

Ooohh, I like murder mystery voting.
