14 Things You Didn't Know About Michelle Obama

excerpt:

7. She writes her own speeches
The First Lady herself wrote the stump speeches she delivered on the campaign trail and her 2012 Democratic Convention speech. Not only that, but her speeches were good. Even conservative columnist John Podhoretz described her convention speech as a "total knockout."

Eleanor Roosevelt is my favorite first lady (and had FDR's political adviser not died in 1935 he probably would have groomed her to run for president in 1940), but Michele Obama is my second.

probably fairly high just because so many of them didn't do much of consequence. It's an easy field. But Michele Obama and especially Eleanor Roosevelt are impressive. ER is quite possibly my favorite figure in American history.

i met a female lyft driver with the gender identity of two men competing within her: one of which has the gender identity of a female japanese robot, and the other with the gender identity of the original female if she were the imagined gender identity of the male underneath the auburn tiger mascot if that male had the gender identity of a non-gendered korean robot

Pretty interesting article on economic mobility which explores the community characteristics most likely to predict mobility for lower-income children.

TLDR version is single parents suck and are killing the American Dream.
