“Eh, it’s a living”

It will be interesting to be sure, but in my view automation is coming for those jobs first no matter where you live or how much you already make. Guaranteed wages (and it’s edgier cousin guaranteed jobs) are more of a way to rule out future exploitation as people compete for fewer jobs with meager compensation or…

At first, yes. But over time equal pay would promote mobility for poorer people and potentially bring the cost of living closer in both areas.

Maybe it’s the Anonymous Senior White House Official who wrote that mealy-mouthed “resistance” op-ed 10 million news cycles ago?

A Michigan State employee who is prevented from assaulting a student athlete is an improvement, so yeah I’d be fine never seeing them even win a spelling bee from now on

It turns out if you get enough narcissists together, their ability to feel validated in whatever they do becomes self-sustaining. It’s only a matter of time before the GOP evolves into a state of non-corporal energy

If there’s a better story to be told (Jungle Book remake was superior to the original, I’ll die on that hill for Elba alone) I think the remakes can be justified.

Of course he does: how could dismal test audience scores put the studio into a panic where they quietly fired him months before everyone involved took advantage of an unrelated tragedy to let him save face while the studio could sidestep the “creative differences” narrative, if he didn’t have a rough cut for them to…

Shit rarely seems dumber than when pragmatism is the ideal

When idealism isn’t the priority, pragmatism and conservatism are indistinguishable 

Well, those people tend to be very sensitive to language that doesn’t conform to their politics and become immediately threatened when they hear it, so the media tends to walk on eggshells to avoid setting them off. If only there was a term for that

In the top left corner of the AMP page, you should see an “i” in a circle. Tap it and you’ll see the non-AMP URL, tap that and you’ll be on the non-annoying version of whatever you’re trying to look at. Easiest way I’ve found, but I agree AMP sucks and you should be able to opt out

It’s way cheaper to just send a camera guy and a producer to point and shoot, then “analyze” what everyone watched back at the studio, than it is to do basically anything else newsworthy

As Fox discovered there’s an untapped market for unalloyed propaganda, CNN has morphed into Fox News circa 2002 to fill that “fair and balanced” void. The reality is that, while they cast a wider net, their audience is largely older white conservatives that don’t see the appeal in watching only Fox News.

I’m just psyched to hear about how many hours people’ve put into several other games before they offer their opinion of this one. Fingers crossed they forget to give a coherent opinion of this one and just start talking about those other games!

She is paying attention, because she voted for them to do this exact shit. The root of all these actions is cruelty to people who aren’t her, even if she’d never admit it outright to a pollster (or maybe even herself) that’s what she voted for because that’s what she wanted to see

Don’t forget shredding healthcare with no backup plan! And threatening disaster relief for an American territory for political reasons!

People wonder how Republicans seem immune to facts, this is it right here: if you’re saying something they don’t agree with they just decide you’re not equal and thus not worth listening to

It’ll be good practice for the energy industry, fingers crossed

It’s more that they get more value out of the current system, because it places more costs and responsibility on the employee, while at the same time they can leverage their benefits package to entice new employees, or pay employees who prioritize insurance below the market rate knowing they’re less likely to move on, …
