My boss turned 79 this weekend. She still competes with the other 3 attorneys in the office for business. I’m the oldest at 42, and the other 2 are in the their early 30s. We’re struggling to keep our head above water while she owns 3 houses. She’s also starting to suffer from mental and physical decline but she has…

As a government employee, I cannot tell you HOW MANY TIMES I’ve encountered this same issue with older employees. DISCLAIMER: it’s not their age that’s the problem; it’s the LACK of desire to stay current.

This baby boomer generation is truly the worst generation in the same way their parents was the Greatest Generation. I don’t understand why so many 80 year olds want to stay in their jobs. They’re rich enough to retire. Feinstein could’ve gone out on a high note in 2018, but chose to run again.

Exactly, well put. My parents did the opposite in the worst possible way. Chores were used as punishment. Mouthed off? Mow the lawn. Hit your sister? Dump out all of your dresser drawers and refold your clothes. Slam a door in a pouty fit? Get dad’s toolbox from the garage and take the door off the hinges yourself and…

In fairness, Tanden is fairly online as well. She tweets endlessly. The people who really don’t like her are ridiculous because they are some of the most perennially outraged people at Democratic “Establishment” figures (Greenwald, Sirota and so on) , but in the case of Tanden their arguments aren’t entirely without…

I can confirm that our goal is absolutely a full-blown matriarchy. First we gain the presidency, then we start oppressing the men.

We start passing laws on what elective medical procedures they can have to erode their bodily autonomy, pay them less so they’re more dependent on us, only test medication on women so it’s …

10 Downing St. had Larry the cat. Seems the WH could do the same. Though I suspect Bateman (Jr) and Butthead (Eric) would try to hunt it.

Vote has been in for days. Plan HAD been to get so freaking high that I wouldn’t remember anything until a decision has been reached and the Trumpie insurrection is put down, but realized that this may cost more money than the country currently has let alone my bank account.

Probably order a pizza to go with my bottle of bourbon.

On the flip side I need the distraction and would happily do some dishes to scrub the demons away

The concept of cancel culture has been debunked many times. Stop using troll words you think will trigger people. Elizabeth Warren lost the primary and faced a lot of public and professional backlash for her DNA test. Unless you’re a member of the Cherokee Nation, it’s time for you to let it go, bud. 

Sadly, the academic job market is tough. It requires candidates often ask a lot of questions about “fit” - many which are illegal - and I think it engenders a lot of “salesmanship” and such. While in my PhD years, no one ever suggested I lie about my race (sheesh, I can’t even imagine that being a benefit to me in my…

Evangelicals are generally fine with infidelity and love children, just as long as the guilty party confesses their sins and professes to love Jesus even more because of their mistake. There’s actually nothing they love more than a sinner coming back to the fold. And they’ve never really given a damn about it in their…

Sacha is an amazing person who uses weird performance art to reveal people’s deeply held, hidden or not so hidden bigotry. I don’t get the dislike for him, he seems like a very charming fellow and he’s using his comedy to show how quick people are to show off their hate.

Actually, word on the down-low is that nobody in the Secret Service can stand him. Or any of his family. It isn’t about their personal politics. They’ve all seen his lifestyle and his antics in person on a daily basis. He’s also known to ignore their security recommendations and do just what he likes. Apparently he’s…

He wins or he dies. This is Game of Thrones type shit. He’s either the president, or he’s spending the rest of his short ass life in prison, or, in Russia.

I think Monty Python has a song about that because God is quite irate

She talked about how her husband had Covid, and her 92-year-old father, who she thought might not survive, and she laid it out: because Donald Trump did nothing, and his incompetence made it worse.

“Sit down next to me and take your talking to”?

“At least they’re fucking idiots!”
