Jesus Christ. Some of these comments are such a goddamned shitshow. First, just because Republicans have rallied around men who have done worse than Franken doesn’t mean that Democrats owe Franken a fucking pass. The manner in which so many Democrats are dismissing the experiences of the women who Franken violated is…

And here we have another person condoning sexual assault as long as they’re democrats.

I’m sad as one of his constituents, but that’s what you get for being a fucking creep Franken.

Also use it in your Keurig to keep the minerals in tap water from gumming up the needle and other parts of the coffee maker.

Yes, I too hate those illegal refugees gentrifying my neighborhood with their coffee and their apps. This is a real thing that makes sense.

Thanks for sharing this link again this year Hamilton. Even if people are in jail for hateful or violent crimes, they don’t ever deserve to be raped. No one does. I hope these cards give the recipients some comfort, however ever small it may be, during what I am sure is a very lonely holiday season.

I am a member of a union. I have been highly motivated to participate in and increase membership of my union. To get all the workers, everyone who does something that does so at the whim of a boss that doesn’t necessarily understand what they are asking, to get on board and sign cards.

There are serfs and there are campesinos here, you just choose not to see them or refuse to recognize them.

Cheer up, everybody. The wheels aren’t off yet, but that “ping-ing” sound you hear are lug nuts flying loose.

Agree. I’m a corporate attorney and have to interact with the c-suite for risk decisions that could cost millions in penalties later. I will spend a whole day working on something, crafting a clear email with different options and a risk analysis, just to get a sentence without a subject that doesn’t address the email…

My guess is Quest has a paid circulation of about 30, with the rest of the copies being delivered gratis and unwanted to mailboxes and apartment building lobbies in affluent zip codes, where they are promptly thrown out. So the designer is paid $20/hour freelance and the printer hasn’t been paid in months, but the ad…

As a fellow artist, I am ENRAGED by this common practice. And I wanted to take a tiny minute to rant a bit to everyone: PLEASE CREDIT all images and art you share online. Tumblr is horseshit at giving credit to the original creator (mostly because it’s ravaged by kids who don’t understand the importance of…

We could use it to call dibs on which ones we’ll eat.

Really? Because it fills me with a white hot desire to gather torches and pitchforks........

I deal with sales people, so most of my emails are as short as possible. Even then, their buzzy little brains don’t read it all.

My co-worker laughs when she reads my emails. She says most of them could be reduced to “get your shit together” or “stop pulling this shit.”

ious Short is fine, but don’t be dismissive. If someone writes, “We need your input on the design of the new turbine blades on the jet engine. What do you feel would be the best and safest approach?,” don’t write back, “Trust your instinct.” or “I like Bob’s idea.” I often dealt with students who would write me emails…

In a former job, I regularly received 200-300 emails a day from clients who required an immediate answer, and I was chastised several times for sounding too “harsh” in my emails and told I didn’t sound friendly enough . I was given suggestions to add in more pleasantries, like asking about someone’s weekend, etc. I…

This! Doing this is how you both CYA and get stuff done when you work with Execs. If you NEED them to DO something, then BLUF [Bottom Line Up Front] and put [ACTION] in the subject line. And if you use Outlook, use voting buttons, they are trainable monkeys that like pushing buttons. Give them what they want, you get…
