Trump not only can’t learn, he’s actually antipathetic to learning.  He’s been telling himself that he already knows everything - and surrounding himself with people who will agree with that assessment - for his entire life.  “Learning” can’t be part of the program, because it would be incompatible with his firmly…

“We deserve better...”

Layoffs at GMG terms are at least 11 weeks pay with full medical and other benefits for that time (https://www.wgaeast.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/04/GMG-Agreement-2019-2022.pdf) while I believe the univision ones were rather generous because of how desperate they were to cut staff numbers.

and then change the text on the Strategic National Stockpile website to be in line with the bullshit that they’re claiming.

My wife and I genuinely love grocery shopping.  We would hit five grocery stores on a Saturday, spending hours browsing and comparing and looking for novel new products.  The once-every-two-weeks mad dash to Target for a loaf of bread and hopefully some eggs is wearing on me.

his father STOLE the money that sent there too

He also had the audacity to say the federal stockpile is not for the states? Who the fuck is it for then? The parts of America that aren’t states like Puerto Rico and Guam (haha like Trump would ever help Puerto Rico).

Whomever NP’s this abomination should be required identify themselves and prepared to be judged by their peers. 

I’ll buy every other car worth 25K and less before I’ll buy that monument to poor quality command economy manufacturing.

Yep I’ve lived in most of the Western States for at least a year each one, and everywhere lived it was called a graveyard. OR, WA, ID, MT, WY, CO, UT, CA, even TX, all call it a graveyard.

I live in the Bay and was at the Safeway yesterday. They aren’t charging for paper bags, however, the much bigger issue is: the cashiers and courtesy clerks have NO PROTECTIVE GEAR! I asked the cashier why she had no gloves on and she said she wasn’t given any. Money is filthy on a good day; Trader Joe’s clerks…

This is the price of allowing an ignorant minority, the republican party, to control the levers of power. People who think the Earth is 6,000 years old, that eugenics is a thing and that they can’t get sick if they gather and pray to their death cult version of Jeebus should be treated for mental illness and not…

Uh Barack told you what to do in 2016 and you fake ass progressives ignored him. It is not Barack’s job or The Clinton’s job to do anything. Oh maybe you should take you head out of your ass and see what The Clinton Foundation and Obama Foundation have been doing during this time. Hint it is more than your ass is…

This virus is serious, and very bad.

I think ‘fuck it up and you can destroy all life in this and every other universe’ provides a pretty strong reason for why the idea of the spore drive would have been buried and forgotten.

They may be set dressing, but boy are they sure good at giving concerned glances.

Zack Handlen = Neil Degrasse Tyson. He’s not necessarily wrong, but he’s spoiling the fun.
 

There was a lot about this episode that was dumb (e.g., the Emperor acting stupidly just because, Lorca wanting to get in Burnham’s pants override common sense, etc.) and happened for action demands instead of smart plot (i.e., any excuses to see Michelle Yeoh kicking ass), but I still really enjoyed it.

As always, I think Zack’s core criticism are accurate.
