Lifehacker editorial is a different team from Audience Development—the team at G/O Media that owns social media. No one at Lifehacker had access to our Facebook page, including me, and I’m editor in chief. I don’t even have a Facebook account. Whatever you posted there had no impact on editorial decisions.

I agree with the thesis but have some issues with the article.

I don’t follow the narrative so I must be lying or stupid, got it.

Shoot, thanks for the correction. I think their pronouns have been updated in the article since I first read it.

FYI - Kearney uses they/them pronouns!

Watch the birth rate over the next 10 years plummet as women all over the US decide to get their tubes tied. But the ones that don’t, adoption centers will be overrun with unwanted babies. And then the statistic of how many women/babies die during childbirth or before will quadruple, bringing us back to the dark ages…

When I was pregnant with my second I knew I wanted it to be my last so I talked to my Dr about getting it lined up so that if I did need a c-section for some reason, they would do it at that time as well. I didn’t need a c-section but it was a good thing I set it up ahead of time anyways because I was on Medicaid and…

Just a guy dropping in to say if any of you males are thinking of a vasectomy- it it is an easy, reliable, safe procedure.  Having wisdom teeth removed is way more of an ordeal.  Once you get over the idea of an operation on the family jewels its a no brainer (assuming you’re done having kids of course). Best money…

What’s not new is how terrible and glitchy their players are. I have been using Netflix, Hulu, and other streaming services for years. I started using Paramount+ a couple of weeks ago. How can it be this bad with so many other well done services to use as an example and experienced developers to hire/poach. I don’t…

Ture, hardly anyone celebrating May 5th has any idea where Cinco de Mayo came from or what it means, but I’m Irish-American and I have no idea what St. Patrick did either.

Funny, our one cat loves plastic grocery bags.  So much so that she eats them.  How she hasn’t gotten sick, or worse, is beyond me.  We try so hard to hide them from her but she literally pulls them from the recycling/trash.

Lol I love this

I tried so hard with nice things, but my cat only loves wadded-up receipts and twisty ties (he doesn’t eat them, and gets a lot of exercise chasing after them).
