    At first blush, Kristin LaHargoue’s social media resembles that of many thirtysomething moms espousing aspirational lifestyles. To her 88,000-plus followers on Instagram, LaHargoue—a crunchy blonde living in central Utah—routinely posts her children, her husband, and herself traipsing around the globe on her account @veda.revival. There they are, standing before the Sagrada Familia, striking silly poses on a busy Tokyo street, or dancing beachside in the Philippines. In an April 2026 post soundtracked to a version of Taylor Swift’s “The Fate of Ophelia,” LaHargoue wrote that she and her family have thus far traveled to over 40 countries. Flying around the world at such a clip isn’t unusual for influencers. But LaHargoue says her children, although born in the US, travel without birth certificates or Social Security numbers.

    This is actually an amazing grift. “I’m super wealthy and enjoy all the privilege that affords, BUT with my course you too can get all that same privilege without the wealth and $500 less from your savings account”. As it turns out you can do a lot with private jets, even chartered, like bypassing customs and border patrol.

    This is outside of my empathy budget. If anyone’s actually paying for this shit, they deserve whatever is coming to them.













  • Jonathan Swift’s Modest Proposal worked because it was satire not written for the subjugated Irish, calling them out for providing their babies to be eaten in London. It was written for the would-be baby eaters at the heart of British empire. Swift wasn’t punching down.

    DSA has some modest electoral successes. I sincerely hope DSA is an appropriate target for satirical criticism in 2028. But to think DSA has any power today is laughable, surpassing the degree of Curb’s funniest material.

    Larry David missed the point of Swift’s work. He’s punching down for what? Larry David, with $400,000,000.00 of net worth is demonstrably just as fucking dumb as any billionaire but without the apparent motion.
