don't want to read that young republicans spewing trash story, i want to know what is going to change for the better because its in the public eye. i'm in a constant state of "what's it gonna take?" coz the gop has been telling us where they stand for some time and i guess not enough folks care?

- Angelic snoozing

Dogs are ridiculous.

Happy Columbo’s Day

Series of four screenshots. Lieutenant Columbo talking to his basset hound, Dog, who is sticking his head out of a car window: “OKAY, I'M GONNA PUT YOU IN CHARGE. YOU TAKE CARE OF THE CAR. YOU'RE A RESPONSIBLE DOG
WHEN I GET BACK, IF THE CAR'S OKAY, I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COOKIE. IF THE CAR'S GONE, I'LL GIVE YOU ANOTHER COOKIE ANYWAY BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.”

It's probably time to post this useful, controversial prism again. The Media Bias Chart
by adfontesmedia.com

Complex plot called the Media Bias Chart showing news sources plotted on a grid. Vertical axis: reliability from "Contains Inaccurate Info" to "Thorough Fact Reporting". Horizontal axis: political bias from left to right. Includes many media logos positioned across the spectrum. Top-center sources deemed most reliable; extremes less so.

(gift link) return to office has always been about control, real estate, and forcing out workers who don't fit the most unimaginative model. ageist sexist ableist bullshit that has nothing to do with effectiveness.

Women are taking pay cuts as companies mandate return to office

Researchers are identifying several key factors behind why gender pay gap – which had narrowed steadily over the years – has suddenly widened.

this fuckin' guy. "that's not real work" is what folks say about a *lot* of jobs but they still get mad when they gotta wait five minutes for a caramel latte.

So that's where we're at.

Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren't Even "Real Work" to Start With

Worried that AI will destroy work? Well, Sam Altman asks if you've considered what a farmer from half a century ago thinks of your job, first.

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity can show that you're being real and you do give a damn.

all this frog talk makes me curious about absurd acts of resistance in the past. not just your becketts and ionescos, but the kind of citizen silliness that fucks up the narrative.
