Honestly, he didn’t look that angry. As in, this felt calculated in a way to further normalize the country into the idea that press conferences will be cancelled or ended abruptly if the president doesn’t like the line of questioning.

It’d be nice if he’d be courteous enough to expedite his trajectory as a “genius” and reach the Howard Hughes level of his career where he retires to a hotel room for years on end and starts wearing tissue boxes for shoes. 

The odd fact is, he’s basically broke. He has no cash and if he sells equity in Tesla he risks losing control of the company. He has some very strong incentives to reopen that (naturally) seem to be directly at odds with the well-being of his frontline workers.

I love how he’s positioning himself as a martyr. Meanwhile, the risk he’s facing is that he’ll get arrested, post a bond, get out, and pay a fine, all of which he can easily afford because of his massive wealth. Meanwhile, he would be putting his employees in a spot where they must choose between their health and a…

I was married to a guy who was a proudly professed “work-aholic”. In fact he was just a jerk with a personality disorder who used “work” as an excuse to get out of doing things he didn’t want to do. This sort of spilled over on me because I bought his schtick that work work work was all that mattered. If I took a sick…

I think you have to know your employer and be able to read the tea leaves really well to be able to do that though.

I mean, there is one major American party that ran several candidates who wanted to eliminate or reduce student debt, and it wasn’t the GOP

The Biden student loan plan is to cut income based payments to 5% of discretionary income, then forgiveness after 20 years (or 25? don’t remember.) And that’s total forgiveness, not the current system where you have to report the forgiven amount as taxable income.

Fucking seriously. My brother and his girlfriend had VERY mild cases (still the most stressful and agonizing two weeks of my life), and weeks after technically “recovering” she was still struggling to even walk their dogs. This is so dramatically different/dangerous from chicken pox that I cannot see the logic of…

This is so idiotic i cant even get my head round it. You don’t just recover from this thing then crack on with your life as normal. My cousin has just recovered from it (shes a nhs worked and contracted it at work), she now has pleural rub on the base of her lungs, the lungs rub together (you can hear them doing that…

My partner and I are both working from home; I tend to have deadlines and a busy schedule M-Th, he doesn’t. I do all the grocery shopping and cooking, laundry, vacuuming, general tidying, and the litter boxes; he does the dishes, cleans the bathroom every few weeks, and feeds the animals about 2/3 of the time. I am…

Not real. Costco’s Facebook presence is simply Costco. This is the same troll/hero of the people (or a similar one) that has had fun with Target and other major retailers.

I am LOVING this. Can you imagine how good it must feel for the Costco Facebook Admin to not have to kiss anyone’s ass over this?

Wait, this is real? Are we sure? Because this woman being named “Sharon” is just a little too on point...

““Sporadic for you, but not sporadic for a lot of other people ... That was fine, but I have heard we have a tremendous supply to almost all places.””

Palimpsest and haberdashery are entirely cromulent words and I will not have them so scurrilously impugned.

You know we have a uniformed branch called the Public Health Service, right? They even use Navy and Coast Guard uniforms, carry military ID cards and receive military privileges. Many of the doctors onboard USNS Mercy and Comfort are PHS. They actually provide (free) health care to the prisoners in federal…

I mean, the “real” “Space Force” is literally just a reorganization of the Air Force Space Command which has existed since the 80s. They just made it “independent” and gave it a new name.

“Hey, it’s not gonna suck itself off.”

I can see Space Force in real life if we did not already have Air Force handling it.
