Yes, I could have mentioned that — the Buffalo shooter’s manifesto complained about his “cucked” assault rifle, and it’s one of the words that has broadened its meaning on 4Chan etc to mean “bad” more generally, which is telling.
Exceptionally good edition. Thank you. Such a clear exposition of Roe v Wade/use of language. I've been making comments about women controlling the means of reproduction for ages (believing it to be my own clever play on Marxism etc...) especially when arguing with ardent socialists (aka my brother!) who put feminism way down the to do list. Best bit? Poetry corner
Love the book cover!!

Excellent as always. Re. that NYT piece, I think it’d be more accurate and more ethical for surgeons to say that it an impossible, not merely difficult - I recommend Eliza’s comment piece: https://elizamondegreen.substack.com/p/a-penis-remained-an-unlikely-prospect?r=2dha&utm_medium=ios
Am on the case!
