9 p.m. is the fulcrum point, a time that is neither early nor late. It’s crawl-in-bed and play-on-phone time for me. Now 10 p.m., that’s the true early/late time, at least for me. My roomie is usually in bed and asleep by 8 p.m., so 9 p.m. is late for her. 

Most of the time it’s neither. It’s the glass half-full/empty of times, especially in the Central time zone. It’s not too late to start and finish a movie on a work night and still get a good night’s sleep. You can watch a good chunk of a west coast baseball game and not feel bad.

I’ve had that whole “liberals argue with emotions vs conservative argue with facts” bullshit lobbed at me recently by a conservative, and it was hilarious. I’m no Katie Porter (I bow to her greatness!) but from the first exchange in our texting conversation, I remained calm and collected, stuck to the facts, backed up…

I love Katie Porter. She reminds me of my Toxic Torts professor back when I was in law school. 

1) They are absolutely prepared for situations like this, that’s their plan. Offload 30k people and be fine again.

Things go rough for a few months, and this corporation that took over so many companies, and is at the top of the stock market isn’t prepared for situations like this, I just don’t see the point of the way they have expanded if they can’t even take care of their most fragile employees.

I imagine it’s not a great feeling inside to know and understand that the way you looked when you were born wasn’t even close to being enough for your success and for people to want you.

A million bucks for a sheep shaped foot stool?

People are allowed to sometimes think about something other than all the shit that’s befalling us. Not everyone in the room seeks out articles about fluff just to complain about them.

What happened to Ellen? Her ass used to be beautiful!

makeover groupies (???!!!)

I don’t know how much Pennington himself is to blame. Like most reality programming, it was probably driven almost entirely by producers wanting shit that looked good on camera. People forget but the original Extreme Makeover was not a home edition but a show about plastic surgery. It came from a dark place where no…

Bullshit. Millions of people deal with more stressful jobs every day that matter a hell of a lot more than her and pay a hell of a lot less. No one says she needs to do it with a smile on her face but she sure as shit needs to treat people with respect.

“Doing a show like this and having to interact with hundreds of guests a year must be exhausting.”  Then GET A DIFFERENT JOB.  

Fuck Ellen DeGeneres and her privileged life. While the rest of us are fighting for our literal survival in this hellscape of a country run by the criminal GOP and an election that we are terrified about she is busy laughing in our faces.

Ellen is just another person who amassed tremendous wealth, fame, and power and then stopped understanding what it means to be a normal person.  So, of course her apology sucked, she does not really think she did anything wrong.

I’ve been doing Postmates/DoorDash during this whole thing as a side gig. So I’m considered “essential”. At times, I get a little bummed that the people I’m delivering food to probably won’t be put out if I died from Covid, just as long as it doesn’t interfere with them being able to get their food.

One thing I’ve noticed during all this is that while we are all struggling in different ways, it can be really hard to have someone else understand how your struggle might be different - not worse necessarily - just different than theirs.

I think it’s not necessarily that you should feel guilty, more that it’s insanete number of people who have been like OMG I CANT LEAVE I MUST GET DELIVEROO *without* thinking for a second about the drivers.

Sorry, these people dont eat the heels of bread? What wasteful Fuckery is that? Like literally wasteful, of the bit that makes the best toast, money thoughts aside.
