a common thread in these recent stories seems to be how poorly HR departments handle claims and really only serve the company’s best interests rather than its employees. Hopefully these shitty incidents will spark some change.

Or that you can borrow from the past in ways that don’t try to pretend the bad stuff didn’t happen or wasn’t a part of it.

Dumb article that only exists for a click, which in turn references a dumb essay that itself only exists for a click.

“Hey guys, some people used this art/historical moment/idea for racist/sexist/etc. purposes, and it is wrong wrong wrong to reference the art/historical moment/idea without referencing (read:…

My immediate family members said and did a whole lot of awful shit to me when I was a kid so much so we not exactly tight as adults. I don’t want to be.

Very relatedly: 46% of voters think the media fabricates news stories out of whole cloth, according to a depressing new Politico/Morning Consult poll.

The guy will be dead in 6 months. At least he’s saying “something”. Yes, it’s not enough, yes, he’s a product of Washington, only there because his wife’s papa had money. But at least he’s saying something. I’m afraid for our country at this point. There’s way too many deers in the headlights. If more people don’t…

Y’know what really bothers me about the whole “biased media, fake news, they’re just out to get Trump” bullshit? It’s that never in my life have I seen an administration or a President covered more fairly than this one.

I FUCKING HATE SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS!!!!!

Is this necessary? Kimmel’s healthcare and gun violence monologues were great examples of someone with a voice that people listen to going, “This is horribly fucked up and something needs to be said”. That’s a good thing. People who don’t follow political blogs or watch the news regularly may have seen that and had…

“There’s basically no difference between Trump and Clinton. They’ll do a lot of the same thing. So it doesn’t matter who I vote for or even if I vote for a 3rd party.”

Not paying income tax is not very relevant when the median income is $19k. Most of them are too poor to pay anything.

The federal government should not be run like a business; as a tool used to exploit weaker entities for it’s own benefit.

Dude, that’s a troll.

Fun fact: FEMA is still operating in Louisiana post-Katrina.

I totally agree, but I have to say, I was curious so I checked into her news program and even that shocked me. Like, if she’s not being an argumentative jerk on Fox News, she is utterly boring. Her “straight news” voice is actually incredibly hard to listen to.

Kinda like Michael Jordan taking a stab at baseball. A bad idea any way you slice it.

It’s getting harder to believe that these tragic (and shameful on the part of the federal response) circumstances won’t lead to a mass exodus of Puerto Ricans to the mainland. If and when that happens, I hope they’ll all move to Florida, Ohio, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, etc. and remember the near-indifference and…

He does seem like a nice guy. But I’ve always thought he should be somebody’s Ed McMahon or Andy Richter: the sidekick. It still baffles me that he’s got his own late night show, let alone the tonight show.
