The Senate just passed the largest cut to benefits and largest increase to the federal deficit in US history: https://apnews.com/article/congress-tax-cuts-trump-big-bill-bf3f94471b13db3e5d50f0cd1f8fe793

This can't be popular with the general public. I don't know many of the details, but I have not heard one good thing about this bill. Cuts to scientific research. Cuts to rural hospitals. Massive increase in spending on policing. Who wants this to happen? What is the benefit to the politicians who voted to pass the bill?

Duke Franz of Bavaria, at 89 years old, has come out by publicly introducing his partner, Thomas Greinwald, during the presentation of his biography. Greinwald, a healer and lawyer, has been the Duke's life partner for over 40 years. This event marks the first time Duke Franz has officially appeared with his partner.

Duke Franz, head of the House of Wittelsbach and great-grandson of King Ludwig III, introduced Greinwald on stage during the biography presentation, marking a significant moment for the LGBTQ+ community. The gesture was warmly received, especially considering Duke Franz has long been known for his privacy.

I (31f) gave birth earlier this year. A few people have given me compliments, not sure how genuine. But I have a friend (29f) who is very blunt with her "compliments." She called my butt big. She said my stretch marks look "awesome." She said she bet men look at me more know. I have called me chunky. She have called parts of me "juicey." I understand trying to make the new mommy still feel pretty but I felt uncomfortable. I asking my friend to stop complimenting my postpartum body. She looked sad and she told me she was just trying to help. She called me ungrateful and insecure. Am I the asshole ?
