I’m conflicted, though I see a lot with your view as well. There is a scary future for the young, but I have a hard time giving late 30s - mid 40s Joy a pass on this. Most people aren’t evolving endlessly once they’ve fully formed and knowing she was still pulling shit as of last year makes it seem as though this…

Looking forward to seeing the employment numbers at 8:30 this morning.

The worst dictators in history did exactly what Donald Trump and his administration are doing right now - the people who committed mass torture and genocide and enslaved people.

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens signed 77 bills on his final day as governor, including legislation that criminalizes the dissemination of nonconsensual, sexually explicit images... He faces potential criminal charges.
