Having control of the legislative and the executive branch, the Democrats’ top priority ought to be to reinstate the pre-clearance requirement under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. We can’t afford falling asleep at the wheel again, and I believe Stacey Abrams deserves a vacation.
Because finding love isn’t about beauty. It’s about finding the right person for you. She obviously didn’t do that.
Ah Texas. The state that thinks it could leave the US and be perfectly fine. In fact, I wish they would leave..
Something about going to school in Texas, land where oil controls education. If you want to hate America, you should spend some time checking out how they feel about education down there.
One interviewee said his company is “laying off workers and debating how aggressively it should pivot away from oil and gas toward renewable energy. If the company does move rapidly toward cleaner energy, he said, he is not sure if there will be a place in it for him. “How much are my skills going to transfer?” Read more
“We want it all”? That’s not a left-wing sentiment, that’s a right-wing caricature of a left-wing sentiment. No way was Pelosi vandalized by anyone on the left - this was done by some MAGA who thought he was being clever.
Who knew it was so easy to get so close to a politician’s home? Where is security? These people are lucky that all that happened was a bit of spray paint and pig blood.
Oh shit, You’re me....LOL

I have been thinking a lot about Marx and alienation lately. I worked in marketing for about six months and hated it so badly that it sent me back to grad school—I am one of the only people I know who didn’t fully hate my PhD (I also got academic work, so there’s that) and part of this was finally feeling like I was… Read more
Ah you must have been a call center employee. Sucks.
Lol, mostly just sputtering. She had just fired my best employee without telling me (like, I literally called the employee to find out why her break was taking so long and she told me the store manager had fired her.) I quit because of that, and then 2 other employees left within the week, so I think she was starting… Read more
I don’t want to work either, I’m so fucking lazy. I don’t think you have to think that anything is wrong with you, it seems normal to me that we would feel this way. There are people who feel driven, and there are people who aren’t, and there are people who are socialized to feel like shit about how they are. I have a… Read more
Yeah, there are a lot of people right now coming to some big realization about the nature of work when the rest of us are “you’re a marketing wonk, yeah your job isn’t essential but good on you for just figuring that out today”
Man, you are spot on about salespeople. Read more
