Here an example of the bullshit I deal with on a regular basis, including today!

My personal reactions to this:

I’m actually ashamed to have loved reading Simmons’s stuff so many years ago. It’s just terrible. He’s not a particularly good writer, and he’s not that smart. In my early twenties, I was just such a mark for any/all pop culture references. Maybe that part hasn’t changed tooo much, but just enough to never want to…

Steve Bannon looks like the guy who tells you he just smoked his last cigarette and asks to bum one off of you, but forgot that everyone in the bar knows he has never bought a pack of cigarettes in his entire life

My Trump-voting colleague has spent the last year interviewing and going through the motions to enroll in a particular federal job training program that would have guaranteed him a significantly higher salary and better benefits than our current job. Hebjust told me that he can’t get hired now because of Trump’s…
