7 d. ago My partner doesn’t know I take Viagra – and I worry that one day it won’t work

I have been struggling with erectile dysfunction ever since a bad breakup. The ‘blue pill’ works for me, but sex is still stressfulTwenty years ago I had a bad breakup with the mother of my children. The stress and guilt of our split caused me to experience erectile dysfunction. I consulted a doctor and was prescribed Viagra. The day after getting the meds I had very good sex with my girlfriend, but after about a month I decided to try without the tablet and failed miserably. So I went back to taking a tablet every time I have sex. I get them online now so I don’t even speak to a consultant. I take half a pill 20 minutes before sex, without telling my partner; however, I get stressed at the thought of it not working and sometimes get heart palpitations. I wonder if I should go back to the doctor and get an implant or another form of medication. My lover thinks I am a virile man and would be shocked if she knew I took the blue pill.The heart palpitations you are describing may be of ...

2 w. ago ‘The Palestinian exception’: Trump limits campus free speech with the complicity of Zionist Jews | Jeff Melnick and Jessie Lee Rubin

The promotion of Israel’s national narrative remains exempt from Trump’s wholesale attack on DEIOn 7 March, the Trump administration announced that it had cancelled $400m in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University, saying the school’s “Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and antisemitic harassment on their campuses” and that “universities must comply with all federal anti-discrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding”.The “harassment” leveraged by the president and other pro-Israel ideologues was a reference to the paradigm-setting pro-Palestine activism that energized the campus over the past year. Columbia’s students became national leaders in the anti-genocide movement, and the Gaza solidarity encampment they established garnered international attention – including from the US Congress, which held hearings on so-called “campus antisemitism”.

3 w. ago What will it take for a former president to speak out against Trump?

The silence from former occupants of the Oval Office has been deafening as the incumbent cuts a destructive pathThe stadium announcer called on the crowd to give a warm welcome to “a very special guest”. A cheer went up as basketball fans realised that Barack Obama was in their midst. The former US president rose to his feet, smiled and waved before watching the Los Angeles Clippers take on the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night.It was a jarringly normal scene at a profoundly abnormal time. The previous evening, Donald Trump had delivered the longest ever presidential address to Congress, a dark, divisive tirade strewn with lies and insults – he called Joe Biden the “worst president in American history” and Senator Elizabeth Warren “Pocahontas”.

4 w. ago Democrats are acting sedate and silent during Trump’s worst excesses | Moira Donegan

Trump is getting comfortable in power. And Democrats are nowhere to be seenWhat was the point of Donald Trump’s address to Congress on Tuesday night? The annual speech – called the “State of the Union” address in every year except the one just after the president’s ascent to office – has long been a somewhat outdated bit of political theater, an event light on policy specifics and heavy on messaging in an era in which political messaging’s most effective venues have long since moved online.It’s perhaps even less clear what a speech to Congress is supposed to mean for this president, who has proven himself so indifferent to constitutional limits on his power – or for this Congress, which has shown itself so willing to abdicate its own constitutional responsibilities. It seems, like so many of the formalities of American politics do now, a bit like a phantom limb: something that Americans keep feeling for long after it has been excised. How long will it be, one wonders, until everyone...
