State wins are important to begin chipping away at the rampant voter suppression in this country.

LOL

The county has line item approval for every thing the library purchases? That sounds like a fucking disaster. I’m a librarian and our parent organization trusts us to spend our allocated funds as we see fit. Which includes a variety of newspaper subscriptions like the NY Times, WSJ, local paper, etc.

An educated, informed populace is a threat to authoritarian regimes, and less easy to control. Free access to information is also a threat. Librarian here.

Apparently, (by his own admission), Kanye’s getting a 68 million tax benefit by creating this “church.” He’s following Trump tactics and, of course, getting away with it.

What’s Deadspin, I don’t see it in the family of websites.

I really appreciate this. It’s awesome to have some sports coverage in this family of websites.

Not Halloween, but still a dress up faux pas (or possibly the greatest dress up incident ever, depending on your perspective): A few years back my brother and his girlfriend decided to throw a nice New Year’s Eve party for a few dozen close friends and relatives. They rented a banquet room at a restaurant, had an open…

On my win I would just like to thank Thatcher, for decimating the industry to the point it felt haunted (sounds like a certain herb), the bosses, for being cold monsters, and the co-workers who made it somehow bearable.

Fuck off, Don.

Because everyone in NYC hates him?

Surprised he didn’t move to Moscow.

Even if he did pay those taxes (doubtful) he doesn’t get a medal. Like, taxes are required, otherwise 8 million New Yorkers would be heros and we’d have the subway system we deserve.

I was today years old when I learned hotbox was a drug reference.  I had always understood “hotbox” to be when someone farts under the covers and traps you in the stink. At first I thought, while gross and inappropriate, I don’t understand why the article keeps mentioning she’s pregnant. Farts wouldn’t hurt a fetus in…

“A former senior vice president, Lisa Bridges, sued the company and the head of goddamn human resources in June, alleging equal pay violations, retaliation, sexual harassment, and gender discrimination.”

Gentle reminder that Human Resources is not your friend. They exist to protect the company. I’m not saying people…

That is so weird that a wannabe tech bro with bad management skills is also a complete douche.

For anyone tempted to vote Republican or third-way Democrat, this little tidbit should be the takeaway:

Finally! Someone on Kinja is covering the World Series. Too bad there’s not a site for that.
Clover, I enjoyed your article. I’d like to discuss one quote:
“there could be three teams out there to make it more interesting.”. Though I’m a baseball fan and I wouldn’t like this, I would like to watch a sport between three…

Thank you for this, I have spent all morning looking for a website to tell me who won last night’s game.

The Social Safety Net never failed, it was never improved upon. much like the US Constitution, we never put in the work to make it better and just allowed it to die on the vine.
