This reads the plot of the SATC episode where Charlotte goes to a self help seminar. But for the lean-in era. It’s ironic that these women are crumbling under the pressure of doing it all yet gravitate to messages that insist they must do it all. 

Big dick...small mind. That’s all you need to know. (I saw the tape when I was younger, I was more amazed by the shitty 90’s styled boat/yacht they were on).

Lauren Duca’s behavior at NYU is shameful but so is NYU’s hiring of Lauren Duca to teach a journalism class. Teaching is hard. Teaching a 3-hour college class is extremely hard. It takes practice and training. You can’t drag in a random working professional to teach their profession to college students. But…

One of the things I have come to appreciate about LA over NYC is that LA is very upfront and honest about the fact that almost everyone out here is selfish and out for themselves. In NYC it feels like people lie to themselves and the world. 

“I did at some point relied on this gig economy to sustain me but it wasn’t ever made to sustain anyone. The “be your own boss” definitely throws you off. Living off gig economy is crazy!”

I mean, I’m absolutely not for Biden or centrism, but if he wins the nomination (which sadly might happen) he would win where Hillary Clinton lost for 2 reasons (1) He’s a man (never underestimate the amount of sexism and misogyny still prevalent in this country) and (2) there is enough buyers remorse from a certain…

“Hey kid, come closer.............you wanna record player”?

Oh, so you used to work at a nonprofit?

Trickle down economics is proven bullshit. You are either deluded or a liar. Possibly both.

I’ve learned that the best jobs tend to be ones where they’re just giving you money to do a job and go home. Every place I’ve worked that had a “mission” or some kind of lofty goal was an absolute dumpster fire, and then tried to guilt everyone into accepting shitty conditions, treatment, or pay because it was “for…

Just got back from a Patagonia CM factory in Vietnam. Can’t say the name, but conditions were rad, they had child care and overall experience was great.

That’s the thing, though. What company’s known not to be shitty?

It’s almost like capitalism and feminism don’t go well together.

Because Biden is going the route of Klobuchar (albeit much more successfully than her) with the signal to big donors that he’s happy to maintain the status quo of a Trump Presidency after their pile of tax cuts and regulation cuts.

its really not. I used to believe it was, then I grew up.

If only there was something we could do.

The weird part about this appeal—hearkening back to the slightly-left-of-center status quo of the early-to-mid 2010s—is that we already tried that: it was called the Hilary Clinton candidacy.

Then came Biden himself, who said this: “‘I truly believe we can fundamentally change our standard for middle class people in America without going out and making sure no one can be a billionaire. We don’t need that kind of stuff. The fact of the matter is just a rational policy’ will suffice.”

I actually thought the cover up of the Ramirez allegations was pretty powerful. She furnished the names of 25 witnesses that the FBI never contacted, people who tried in vain to contact the FBI themselves when no one reached out to them. I can see why the Times lead with that.
