Extreme crunch is how bad leadership cosplays at productivity. Nothing they're making can be more important than people getting to live their lives outside of management's sphere of control.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag

“Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management.

Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.

there’s something distasteful in the way people describe the poor as having only their economic plight guide their values. it feels almost condescending, as though they can’t walk and chew gum and think that disrespecting an historic office is bad.

This distraction angle is always funny, as if there are masterminds in that administration playing 4-D chess. They’re getting away with everything because this country doesn’t have real checks and balances. He’s not distracting anyone with his crude behavior. He’s just like that.

"The honest truth is that people come to this country because they believe we are more generous than other European countries"
- little evidence for this claim

We will "ensure we are no longer the destination of choice"

LEGALLY YOU SHOULD BE SENDING INVOICES FOR GOODS AND SERVICES. IF YOU TAKE COMMISSIONS ON PAYPAL DO NOT USE FRIENDS AND FAMILY. YOU ARE NOT SAFE, YOUR CLIENT IS NOT SAFE.

THIS IS A FORM OF TAX EVASION.

YOU SHOULD BE USING INVOICES.

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions.

Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail.

Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos.

Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were.

The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Here we have Tara Strong liking an Instagram post from known right wing Islamphobe Douglas Murray. Murray goes on to call Charlie Kirk a wonderful man and a trusted ally. Tara Strong really is an awful bigot. Tara also follows Douglas Murray and likes a lot of his posts.

An Instagram post from Douglas Murray. The post is liked by Tara Strong. The post is a screenshot of a tweet from Douglas Murray that says “The news of the assassination of Charlie Kirk is appalling. I am thinking of his wife and children.
He was a wonderful man and a trusty ally. I hope all those people who incited violence against Charlie over the years take a moment to look at what they have created.”

Menswear guy has spies everywhere. Doesn’t matter if you’re showing collar gap in the Twin Cities, being rude to service workers in Charlotte, or wearing a raggedy white t-shirt to eat at an expensive place in Malibu, he *will* know about it and burn you if you force his hand.

i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

Michael Rapaport tweets: "How’s a so-called “working class” mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? 🍣💰
This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem.
Who’s paying for that toro, “Zoron the Moron”?"

There are two photos of Zohran Mamdani and his wife eating at a restaurant.

Michael Rapaport eating outside of a restaurant. There are some white canopy umbrellas around him and a tree in the background. Also the ocean and some fence.

Two photos. The first shows the outside of Nobu in Malibu. The second shows the area where Michael sat. There is the same tree, ocean, white canopy umbrellas, and fence.

The menu for Nobu in Malibu shows prices around $60. The menu for Omen Sushi in NYC shows prices around $35.
