Zug Ch F: Jerome Kym [Alt] def. Roman Andres Burruchaga [3] 6-4, 6-4 Match Stats
Tumblr media
📾 ATP official website
Roman's level-raising became more evident in the second set, where he broke to start it. However, J. Kym started to turn the tables again as he fired his powerful forehand right for his break point in the sixth game, and had not looked back since even though there was a hiccup where his return game carried it for the title than his service game (which slipped). As a result, both players had 8 break points, but the Swiss alternate converted 5 of them compared to Roman's 3.
Besides, both players had their own second serve problems, but the first serves differentiated them in some pressing moments. Scoring 5 aces than Roman's 2, J. Kym had exceptional first serve winning percentage with 69%, 13% more than the third seed, which allowed him to get out of some critical moments. However, Roman had the slight edge on the second serves by 3% even if he double-faulted thrice, which highlighted the slight vulnerability of J. Kym's second serves.
This marked J. Kym's second Challenger-level title since the Prostejov Challenger earlier this year, securing his spot in the US Open qualification rounds right at the cut-off as he picked up where he left off in style. To add, as J. Kym is now 179 live and reached his career-high, he would not need a protected ranking to enter anymore, even after his upcoming tournament in the Liberec Challenger, where he will face wild card Jan Kumstat in a talent-off first-round match. Should be an interesting one to follow as well!

Schloss Einstein Folge 1056
Auf zum nÀchsten Mental Breakdown und los geht's!
Julia hat sich fĂŒr Colins letzten Tag drei Challenges ausgedacht: 1. Eine ganze Flasche Pastinakensaft auf Ex trinken, 2. Ein Video von sich und Joel an der Kletterwand machen und 3. Ihr ein StĂŒck Einstein und ihr Fahrrad mitbringen.
Noah ist wĂŒtend. Colin ist wĂŒtend. Ich kann jetzt schon nicht mehr.
Im Waschraum hat Joel drei gute GrĂŒnde, warum Colin bleiben sollte: 1. Das Schuljahr hat schon angefangen und es ist fast unmöglich, jetzt noch eine neue Schule zu finden (in NRW sind noch Ferien und Colin hat schon die Zusage von Julias Schule). 2. Je Ă€lter man wird, desto schwerer wird es, neue Freunde zu finden (Colin ist 15 und Julia reicht ihm). 3. Joel macht fĂŒr den Rest des Schuljahrs Colins Hausaufgaben (Colin kriegt das auch selbst hin).
Joel: "Was, wenn du Noah hier nicht mehr sehen mĂŒsstest?"
Es ist Zeit fĂŒr
Tumblr media
Joel geht also zu Frau Schiller und beschwert sich, dass Noah angeblich schnarchen wĂŒrde. Frau Schiller kommt aber bald dahinter und schlĂ€gt vor, dass sie sich zu dritt zusammensetzen um die "neue Situation" zu besprechen. Joel will das aber alleine regeln, weil er sich sicher ist, dass Colin seine Meinung noch Ă€ndern wird. Nein, wird er eben nicht 😭.
Reena und Mikka singen wieder den Pinguin-Song!
Leon ĂŒber seine neuen Freunde: "Reena sieht aus, als arbeitet sie bei ner Bank und dann singt sie so ein peinliches Kinderlied und Mikka wollte, dass ich mit ihm Drachen steigen lasse."
Joel guckt sich ein Videotutorial an und versucht, eine Trennwand zu bauen, wird dabei aber von Frau Schiller erwischt. Die hat bestimmt auch schon einiges gesehen. Heimliche Partys, Alkoholexzesse - aber bestimmt noch nie jemanden, der heimlich versucht ne Trennwand zu bauen.
Joel ist wieder so autistic, Ich liebe es!
Joel soll natĂŒrlich sofort aufhören, dabei hat er extra mit einem Statiker telefoniert! Joel: "Ich bin jetzt praktisch Profi."
Nachdem Joel seine Wand leider nicht fertig bauen durfte, hat er Colins Modulplan optimiert, damit er Noah auf keinen Fall ĂŒber den Weg lĂ€uft. Colin ist immer noch nicht ĂŒberzeugt.
Joels nÀchstes Projekt: Noah darf den Waschraum nur noch von 7 bis 8 Uhr betreten. Er hat sogar extra ein Verbotsschild gemacht..
Noah beschuldigt Joel, dass er Colin nur nicht als Businesspartner verlieren will und gar kein echter Freund ist. Dann wĂŒrde er nĂ€mlich darauf hören, was Colin wirklich will und nicht auf Krampf darum betteln, dass er bleibt. Noah: "Ein Scheiß weißt du von Freundschaften". Noah, ich wĂ€r da ja mal ganz still!
Leon versucht, neue Freunde zu finden. Eigentlich hatte er sich mit Simon zum Falafel essen verabredet, aber der hat es verpeilt und ist mit jemandem ins Kino gegangen.
Eine Stunde bevor Colins Zug abfĂ€hrt entschuldigt sich Joel bei ihm, dass er ihn bei seinen Projekten ausgenutzt hat. Colin macht das aber gar nichts aus, er hatte Spaß. Joel: "Weißt du was? Du bist toll. Wie du an Dingen dranbleibst und in Themen aufgehst, das ist echt inspirierend." Colin: "Du bist auch toll. Ich mag deine tausend Ideen wirklich und deinen Enthusiasmus. Das werd ich echt vermissen. Du bist ein richtig guter Freund, Joel."
Tumblr media
Leon: "Ich weiß, ich hab die letzten Tage auf alles super gemacht, aber eigentlich geht's mir nicht so toll. Einstein ist seltsam. Vielleicht gehört ich hier auch einfach nicht hin." Ich glaub die Kids mĂŒssen langsam ne Selbsthilfegruppe grĂŒnden.
Joel zu Noah: "Du weißt schon, dass Colin geht? Also, jetzt."
ER UMARMT SOGAR AVA!
Joel: "Du sagst ich bin kein echter Freund? Aber du hast nicht mal den Arsch in der Hose runterzugehen und ihm TschĂŒss zu sagen! Ich war fĂŒr Colin da. Du weißt nicht, was echte Freundschaft ist! [...] Colin geht nur wegen dir. Und ich wĂŒnschte echt, es wĂ€r umgekehrt."
ENDLICH DARAUF HAB ICH GEWARTET! JOEL MEIN LÖWE MEIN BÄR MEIN LIEBLLINGSPASTINAKENSAFTVERKÄUFER!
ER HAT IHN ARSCH GENANNT! JOEL!!!!! <333333333333333
COLIN UMARMT AVA NOCH MAL!
JOEL RENNT IHM HINTERHER!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ICH KANN NICHT MEHR EY!

Anna North at Vox:
Before the 1960s, it was really hard to get divorced in America. Typically, the only way to do it was to convince a judge that your spouse had committed some form of wrongdoing, like adultery, abandonment, or “cruelty” (that is, abuse). This could be difficult: “Even if you could prove you had been hit, that didn’t necessarily mean it rose to the level of cruelty that justified a divorce,” said Marcia Zug, a family law professor at the University of South Carolina.
Then came a revolution: In 1969, then-Gov. Ronald Reagan of California (who was himself divorced) signed the nation’s first no-fault divorce law, allowing people to end their marriages without proving they’d been wronged. The move was a recognition that “people were going to get out of marriages,” Zug said, and gave them a way to do that without resorting to subterfuge. Similar laws soon swept the country, and rates of domestic violence and spousal murder began to drop as people — especially women — gained more freedom to leave dangerous situations.  Today, however, a counter-revolution is brewing: Conservative commentators and lawmakers are calling for an end to no-fault divorce, arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society. Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers, for example, introduced a bill in January to ban his state’s version of no-fault divorce. The Texas Republican Party added a call to end the practice to its 2022 platform (the plank is preserved in the 2024 version). Federal lawmakers like Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and House Speaker Mike Johnson, as well as former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, have spoken out in favor of tightening divorce laws. 
If this sounds outlandish or like easily dismissed political posturing — surely Republicans don’t want to turn back the clock on marital law more than 50 years — it’s worth looking back at, say, how rhetorical attacks on abortion, birth control, and IVF have become reality. And that will cause huge problems, especially for anyone experiencing abuse. “Any barrier to divorce is a really big challenge for survivors,” said Marium Durrani, vice president of policy at the National Domestic Violence Hotline. “What it really ends up doing is prolonging their forced entanglement with an abusive partner.” [...]
Republicans in multiple states are eyeing divorce restrictions
Pushback against no-fault divorce dates back decades. In the 1990s and early 2000s, three states passed covenant marriage laws, allowing couples to opt into signing a contract allowing divorce only under circumstances like abuse or abandonment. Some backers of the laws intended them to send a larger anti-divorce message, the Maryland Daily Record reported in 2001. Speaker Johnson, then a lawyer in Louisiana, was an early adopter of covenant marriage, entering one with his wife Kelly in 1999. 
More recently, high-profile conservative commentators have taken up the anti-divorce cause. Last year, the popular right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder announced his own unwilling split. “My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore,” he complained, “and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.”
That could change. As Tessa Stuart noted in Rolling Stone, the Texas Republican party controls both chambers of the state legislature and the governor’s office, and could likely make its platform — the one calling on the state legislature to “rescind unilateral no-fault divorce laws” — a reality if it chose. The Louisiana and Nebraska Republican parties have also considered or adopted similar language.  
[...]
Ending no-fault divorce would have major consequences
Opponents of no-fault divorce argue that it is hurting families and American culture. Making divorce too easy causes “social upheaval, unfettered dishonesty, lawlessness, violence towards women, war on men, and expendability of children,” Deevers wrote last year in the American Reformer, a Christian publication. “To devalue marriage is to devalue the family is to undermine the foundation of a thriving society.” It’s worth noting that though the no-fault laws initially led to spikes in divorce, rates then began to drop, and reached a 50-year low in 2019, CNN reports. But today, an end to no-fault divorce would cause enormous financial, logistical, and emotional strain for people who are trying to end their marriages, experts say. Proving fault requires a trial, something many divorcing couples today avoid, said Kristen Marinaccio, a New Jersey-based family law attorney. A divorce trial is time-consuming and costly, putting the partner with less money at an immediate disadvantage. It can also be “really, really traumatizing” to have to take the stand against an ex-partner, Marinaccio said. There’s also no guarantee that judges will always decide cases fairly. In the days of fault-based divorce, courts were often unwilling to intervene in marriages even in cases of abuse, Zug said.  No-fault divorce can be easier on children, who don’t have to experience their parents facing each other in a trial, experts say. Research suggests that allowing such divorces increased women’s power in marriages and even reduced women’s suicide rates. A return to the old ways would turn back the clock on this progress, scholars say.
The Christian Right’s war on no-fault divorce is closely linked to their wars on IVF, abortion, birth control, and LGBTQ+ rights, as seek to roll back the clock to an era when straight white Christian men ruled the roost without pushback.

Tag 24. 27.07.2023
Fuji-Vorbereitung. Heute standen wir frĂŒh auf, um den 07:57 Uhr Zug von Tokyo nach Mishima zu schaffen. Wir fuhren mit dem sogenannten Shinkansen Zug, der 320km/h schnell fĂ€hrt und weltweit als “Bullet Train” bekannt ist. In Mishima stiegen wir in einen Regionalzug um und erreichten gegen 10:00 Uhr Gotemba, eine niedliche Stadt im Vorland des Fuji Berges (3.776M hoch, Japans höchster Gipfel). Im Hotel angekommen stellten wir unser GepĂ€ck ab, packten fĂŒr einen Tagesausflug an eines der fĂŒnf Seen rund um Fuji und liefen zur BĂ€ckerei.
Die BĂ€ckerei war gigantisch, wir aßen zum ersten Mal in Asien richtige Croissants, Baguettes und Brot. Im Anschluss ging’s zur Touristeninfo, wo wir einige Fragen i.B.a. den Fuji-Riesen hatten. Ganz zufĂ€llig fragte Wilson, ob eines der HĂŒtten noch zwei PlĂ€tze fĂŒr den 28.07 auf den 29.07 frei hĂ€tte, denn eine Eintageswanderung von unten nach oben, v.a. mit möglichem Aufkommen von Höhenkrankheit, wĂ€re grenzwertig gefĂ€hrlich. Der Mann an der Info rief netterweise in verschiedenen HĂŒtten an. Die (meisten) HĂŒtten nehmen nĂ€mlich nur per Telefon und auf japanisch Reservierungen an, zudem kommt der von der Pandemie verursachte RĂŒckstand japanischer Touristen, die den Riesen besteigen wollen. Zu unserer Überraschung waren 2 Betten auf der 5. HĂŒtte frei, es Ă€nderten sich also unsere PlĂ€ne - keine Seentour.
Wir fuhren direkt zur Outlet-Mall, wo wir zwei paar Wanderschuhe kauften (Turnschuhe sind natĂŒrlich ungeeignet, zudem brauchte Webster neue Wanderschuhe und Wilsons Schuhe hat derzeit Wenzel) und einen neuen Wanderrucksack (Webster braucht auch einen neuen, seiner hat schon etliches durch und wird bald in Rente gehen). Wir kauften auch zwei billige Kopflampen, am 29.07 stehen wir nĂ€mlich um 01:30 Uhr auf, um den Sonnenaufgang ganz oben mitzuerleben. Wir fuhren dann gegen 16:30 Uhr wieder mit dem kostenlosen Shuttle-Bus in die Innenstadt Gotembas zurĂŒck, schauten im Supermarkt vorbei und besuchten erneut die BĂ€ckerei, wo wir zwei Baguettes fĂŒr den Bergsteig kauften und eine kleine TĂŒte Nussbrot geschenkt bekamen - sehr nett.
Im Hotel ruhten wir uns aus, schauten Ricky Gervais auf YouTube, lasen die Nachrichten und lagen 20 Minuten im Halbschlaf. Daraufhin gabs im Hotel Abendessen, Reis mit Rindfleischsoße - eine kostenlose Mahlzeit, die gut schmeckte und satt machte. Schließlich packten wir, schmierten unsere Brote und gingen in die Hotelsauna (Japanese Bath - könnt ihr gerne recherchieren). Morgen gehts wieder frĂŒh los, um 07:35 Uhr fĂ€hrt der Bus von Gotemba Richtung Fuji Talstation. Aufregend!
Day 24. July 27, 2023
Fuji Preparation. Today, we got up early to catch the 07:57 am train from Tokyo to Mishima. We traveled on the so-called Shinkansen train, which runs at a speed of 320 km/h and is globally known as the "Bullet Train." In Mishima, we changed to a regional train and reached Gotemba around 10:00 am, a charming town in the foothills of Mount Fuji (3,776 meters high, Japan's highest peak). Upon arriving at the hotel, we dropped off our luggage, prepared for a day trip to one of the five lakes around Fuji, and walked to the bakery.
The bakery was brilliant, and we had proper croissants, baguettes, and bread for the first time in Asia. After that, we went to the tourist information center, where we had some questions about Mount Fuji. By chance, Wilson asked if any of the mountain huts had two available spots for the night of July 28th to 29th because attempting a one-day hike from the bottom to the top, especially with the risk of altitude sickness, would be dangerously challenging. The man at the info center kindly made calls to different huts. Most of them only accept reservations over the phone and in Japanese, plus there's a backlog of Japanese tourists wanting to climb the mountain due to the pandemic. To our surprise, there were two available beds at the 5th hut, so our plans changed - no lake tour.
We went straight to the outlet mall, where we bought two pairs of hiking boots (sneakers are, of course, unsuitable, and Webster needed new hiking boots while Wilson's shoes are currently worn out). We also purchased a new hiking backpack (Webster needs one too, as his has been through a lot and will soon retire). Additionally, we bought two cheap headlamps since on the 29th of July, we'll be getting up at 01:30 am to witness the sunrise from the top. Around 4:30 pm, we took the complimentary shuttle bus back to downtown Gotemba, stopped by the supermarket, and revisited the bakery, where we purchased two baguettes for the ascent and received a small bag of walnut bread as a gift - very kind.
We rested in the hotel, watched Ricky Gervais on YouTube, read the news, and dozed off for about 20 minutes. Afterward, we had dinner at the hotel, rice with beef sauce - a complimentary meal that tasted good and filled us up. Finally, we packed up, prepared our lunchboxes and went to the hotel sauna (Japanese Bath - you can research more about it if you like). Tomorrow, we'll be starting early again; the bus from Gotemba to the Fuji Talstation departs at 07:35 am. Exciting!

Ferrari makes multiple changes to its partnership portfolio
Ferrari makes multiple changes to its partnership portfolio By Balazs Szabo on 06 Jan 2023, 14:00 Ferrari appears to have ended their partnership with two of their premium partners with both Velas and Velas having been removed from the list of partners on the Italian team's website. Founded in 2019 in Zug, Switzerland, Velas is blockchain network for secure and interoperable transactions. The partnership was only signed at the start of last season, but it seems that the two companies will end the partnership ahead of the 2023 F1 season. Velas also served as the Title Sponsor of Ferrari Esports Series. Snapdragon Satellite whose partner company is Qualcomm is a two-way satellite messaging service. The software firm has only joined the partnership portfolio of the Italian team last year, but the two parties appear to have terminated their collaboration after just one year. However, the Maranello-based outfit has also added two new sponsors to its partner list with the arrival of HCL Software and Bitdefender. HCL Software is a multi-national company that is based in India and the United States. The logo first appeared on the F1-75s driven by Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz at last year’s Abu Dhabi Grand Prix with the partnership set to continue in 2023. Romanian group Bitdefender, a global cybersecurity leader, has entered into a multi-year partnership with Ferrari. The sponsorship started at last year’s Singapore Grand Prix with the company’s logo displayed on the drivers’ helmets. From 2023, the company’s logo will also be added to racing suits and team uniforms. Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Florin Talpes said: “Bitdefender shares with Scuderia Ferrari a heritage of excellence and a demonstrated track record of building state-of-the-art, innovative technologies to deliver winning results. When every second counts, only the most advanced cars win races on the track, and only the most advanced technology has the power to effectively prevent, defend and respond to cyberattacks.” Moreover, Ferrari have also managed to extend their partnership with EssilorLuxottica. The Maranello-based team’s partnership with the eyewear manufacturer originally began in 2016. The French manufacturer has various brands under its umbrella with Oakley, Ray-Ban, Kodak Lens, Eyezen, Crizal and Xperio all contributing to the company’s portfolio. Ferrari’s 2023 F1 challenger will continue to feature the Ray-Ban brand. “As of today, Ferrari is preparing to achieve new goals with EssilorLuxottica: from the first exclusively Ferrari-branded eyewear line, to the challenges awaiting us on the circuits in the motorsport seasons ahead, said Benedetto Vigna, chief executive of Ferrari. “Starting from a common history of excellence and authentically shared values, we want to build further exciting projects together with the millions of fans and customers who choose us and believe in this constantly developing collaboration.” Among Ferrari’s sponsor for the 2023 season will be Shell, Santander, Ray-Ban, AWS, Richard Mille, Ceva, Mission Winnow, Bitdefender, Estrella Galicia, HCL Software, Palantir, OMR, Puma, Radiobook, VistaJet, Giorgio Armani, Riva, Riva, Mahle, Pirelli, Manpower Group, TechnoGym, Iveco, Bell, Riedel, Garrett, Öhlins, Sabelt, Frecciarossa, NGK Spark Plugs, Brembo and SKF. via F1Technical.net .

I'm going to pull from the Washington Post:
Dunn’s case is the second time in weeks Bailey has sought to appeal an overturned conviction to the state’s top court. After another judge overturned the conviction of Sandra Hemme for a 1980 fatal stabbing on June 14, Bailey’s office also told prison officials not to release the 64-year-old woman while the appeals process proceeded. Missouri’s top court agreed with the vacated ruling, and the judge in that case said last week that if Hemme wasn’t released, Bailey would have to appear in court himself. She was released that day.
So, when threatened with court, he caved. A'ight. Then:
Bailey is facing a primary challenge to his right by attorney Will Scharf, who has represented Donald Trump. The former president has not yet made an endorsement in the race, but Zug noted that if he did, it could swing the primary. Zug said he interprets what Bailey is doing as trying to bolster his “law and order” bona fides to national party officials and garner their support. “He seems to be throwing spaghetti at the walls trying to signal as much as possible to national Republicans that he’s conservative enough,” Zug said. “Unfortunately, Dunn has found himself as a chess piece here.”
Yeah. I want the "or else," Judge. Just give it to him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
More than 30 years in prison for a crime there was no evidence he committed. He was only 18. Now republican AG is refusing to allow his overturned sentence be implemented.
Don't stop talking about Christopher Dunn until he is released.

Roman steadily increased his level in the second set as he tried to set things up, but J. Kym managed to turn the tables once again before closing it out becoming another challenge. To start, after 2 consecutive holds, the Swiss alternate found himself in trouble as his game points turned out to be foiled, followed by Roman's working volley to secure his break point before his +1 forehand error securing his break to 2-1. The Argentinean third seed then extended the lead with a service game hold to 3-1, while J. Kym kept in touch with a service game hold to 3-2 even if he trailed by 2 points beforehand due to Roman's preceding forehands.
However, things started to shift from the next game, where J. Kym capitalized on Roman's previous errors before producing a forehand winner, creating his break point before he broke to 5-3, a game after he held thanks to his preceding forehand down-the-line to Roman's forehand error. This allowed the Swiss alternate to serve for the match, but Roman started to get ideas from his forehand passes, including one to fumble the former's match point before he broke back to 5-4. However, an erratic service game marked by his third-shot errors caused J. Kym to break back for the match, also taking the second set 6-4 to secure his second Challenger title of the year.

The Christian right is coming for divorce next
Before the 1960s, it was really hard to get divorced in America.
Typically, the only way to do it was to convince a judge that your spouse had committed some form of wrongdoing, like adultery, abandonment, or “cruelty” (that is, abuse).
This could be difficult:
“Even if you could prove you had been hit, that didn’t necessarily mean it rose to the level of cruelty that justified a divorce,” said Marcia Zug, a family law professor at the University of South Carolina.
Then came a revolution:
In 1969, then-Gov. Ronald Reagan of California (who was himself divorced) signed the nation’s first no-fault divorce law, allowing people to end their marriages without proving they’d been wronged.
The move was a recognition that “people were going to get out of marriages,” Zug said, and gave them a way to do that without resorting to subterfuge.
Similar laws soon swept the country, and rates of domestic violence and spousal murder began to drop as people — especially women — gained more freedom to leave dangerous situations.
Today, however, a counter-revolution is brewing:
Conservative commentators and lawmakers are calling for an end to no-fault divorce, arguing that it has harmed men and even destroyed the fabric of society.
Oklahoma state Sen. Dusty Deevers, for example, introduced a bill in January to ban his state’s version of no-fault divorce.
The Texas Republican Party added a call to end the practice to its 2022 platform (the plank is preserved in the 2024 version).
Federal lawmakers like Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) and House Speaker Mike Johnson, as well as former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson, have spoken out in favor of tightening divorce laws.
If this sounds outlandish or like easily dismissed political posturing — surely Republicans don’t want to turn back the clock on marital law more than 50 years — it’s worth looking back at, say, how rhetorical attacks on abortion, birth control, and IVF have become reality.
And that will cause huge problems, especially for anyone experiencing abuse.
“Any barrier to divorce is a really big challenge for survivors,” said Marium Durrani, vice president of policy at the National Domestic Violence Hotline.
“What it really ends up doing is prolonging their forced entanglement with an abusive partner.”
In the wake of the Dobbs decision, divorce is just one of many areas of family law that conservative policymakers see an opportunity to rewrite.
“We’ve now gotten to the point where things that weren’t on the table are on the table,” Zug said. “Fringe ideas are becoming much more mainstream.”
Republicans in multiple states are eyeing divorce restrictions
Pushback against no-fault divorce dates back decades.
In the 1990s and early 2000s, three states passed covenant marriage laws, allowing couples to opt into signing a contract allowing divorce only under circumstances like abuse or abandonment.
Some backers of the laws intended them to send a larger anti-divorce message, the Maryland Daily Record reported in 2001.
Speaker Johnson, then a lawyer in Louisiana, was an early adopter of covenant marriage, entering one with his wife Kelly in 1999.
More recently, high-profile conservative commentators have taken up the anti-divorce cause.
Last year, the popular right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder announced his own unwilling split.
“My then-wife decided that she didn’t want to be married anymore,” he complained, “and in the state of Texas, that is completely permitted.”
That could change.
As Tessa Stuart noted in Rolling Stone, the Texas Republican party controls both chambers of the state legislature and the governor’s office, and could likely make its platform — the one calling on the state legislature to “rescind unilateral no-fault divorce laws” — a reality if it chose.
The Louisiana and Nebraska Republican parties have also considered or adopted similar language.
And Ben Carson, secretary of housing and urban development under President Donald Trump who has been floated as a potential VP pick, wrote in his recent book that “for the sake of families, we should enact legislation to remove or radically reduce incidences of no-fault divorce.”
Ending no-fault divorce would have major consequences
Opponents of no-fault divorce argue that it is hurting families and American culture.
Making divorce too easy causes “social upheaval, unfettered dishonesty, lawlessness, violence towards women, war on men, and expendability of children,” Denver's wrote last year in the American Reformer, a Christian publication.
“To devalue marriage is to devalue the family is to undermine the foundation of a thriving society.”
It’s worth noting that though the no-fault laws initially led to spikes in divorce, rates then began to drop, and reached a 50-year low in 2019, CNN reports.
But today, an end to no-fault divorce would cause enormous financial, logistical, and emotional strain for people who are trying to end their marriages, experts say.
Proving fault requires a trial, something many divorcing couples today avoid, said Kristen Marinaccio, a New Jersey-based family law attorney.
A divorce trial is time-consuming and costly, putting the partner with less money at an immediate disadvantage.
It can also be “really, really traumatizing” to have to take the stand against an ex-partner, Marinaccio said.
There’s also no guarantee that judges will always decide cases fairly. In the days of fault-based divorce, courts were often unwilling to intervene in marriages even in cases of abuse, Zug said.
No-fault divorce can be easier on children, who don’t have to experience their parents facing each other in a trial, experts say.
Research suggests that allowing such divorces increased women’s power in marriages and even reduced women’s suicide rates.
A return to the old ways would turn back the clock on this progress, scholars say.
“We know exactly what happens when people can’t get out of very unhappy marriages,” Zug said. “There’s much higher incidences of domestic abuse and spousal murder.”
It’s unlikely that blue states would ban no-fault divorce, Marinaccio said, but if red states do, their residents would be stuck. Divorce laws generally include a residency requirement, which would make it difficult for people to cross state lines to get a divorce the way they sometimes do now to obtain an abortion. “Your state is the only access you have to divorce,” Marinaccio said.
Divorce is extremely common — more than 670,000 American couples split in 2022 alone.
Any rollback to no-fault divorce would likely be politically unpopular, even in red states (some of which have higher divorce rates than the national average).
But perhaps emboldened by their victory in overturning Roe v. Wade, social conservatives have gone after other popular targets in recent months, from birth control to IVF.
The drive to increase restrictions on divorce is part of the same movement, Zug said — an effort to re-entrench “conservative family values,” incentivize heterosexual marriage and childbearing, and disempower women. “They are all connected,” Zug said.

01.07.2024 Our Journey to Sweden
Die Challenge in diesem Jahr: Mit dem Nachtzug nach Schweden. Gerade sitzen wir, der 16 jÀhrige Sohn und ich, im ICE nach Berlin. Ich habe wie immer zu viel GepÀck dabei, wir trinken Kaffee und sind ziemlich gespannt auf diesen Nachtzug von SnÀlltarget.
Tumblr media
Wir haben außer unseren digitalen Tickets nichts. Keine weiteren Infos. Da merke ich, wie anhĂ€ngig ich schon von den Dauerinformationen der DB-App bin. Man wird direkt unsicher. Auf jeden Fall bin ich schon froh, so einen frĂŒhen Zug gebucht zu haben, denn der ICE hatte 20 min VerspĂ€tung.
Der Nachtzug geht dann um 21.10 Uhr. Wir haben also genug Zeit, in Berlin noch BĂŒcher zu kaufen.

Nebraska
Traum heute am Morgen. Ich war irgendwo in Nebraska. Wollte mit dem Bus nach New York. Bus musste aus irgendeinem Grund an Tankstelle pausieren. Weiß nicht mehr.
Frage mich schon im Aufwachen: Wie um Himmels willen komme ich dazu, von "irgendwo in Nebraska" zu trÀumen.
Seit ewig nicht mehr in den USA gewesen. Keine PlĂ€ne. Überhaupt keine großen AbenteuerplĂ€ne.
Wusste nicht einmal, wo Nebraska genau. Allerdings hat GefĂŒhl nicht getrogen: In der Mitte von viel PrĂ€rie und Steppe. 2 Millionen Einwohner, FlĂ€che etwa 60% von ganz Deutschland. Dagegen ist Sachsen Anhalt dicht besiedelt.
Die Karte zeigt, Nebraska ist, zusammen mit Kansas, der heimliche Mittelpunkt der USA.
Und wie lange fahre ich mit Bussen von z.B. Stapleton nach Manhattan? Mit irgendetwas wie Bus oder Zug kommt man da nicht weg. Auto, Fahrrad, Pferd oder zu Fuß sind deine einzige Chance.
Ich möchte gerne trĂ€umen, die Strecke zu Fuß zu gehen. Der Weg ist eine verfĂŒhrerische Challenge. Stapleton und Manhattan liegen auf dem gleichen Breitengrad. Du gehst fast wie mit dem Lineal gezogen nach Osten. Ich könnte rund 100 Tage in die gleiche Kompassrichtung spazieren. In 80 Tagen nach Brooklyn. Why not.
Dass ich aus Stapleton schnell wegmachen sollte, ist klar.
Wie nennt man TrÀume, die man höchstens erleben möchte, weil niemand auf der Erde so etwas erleben möchte? Seltsamkeitstraum?
