Exactly. My natural inclination is "GOTTA FIX THIS!" Which, admittedly, isn't always the best, depending on the situation. But my brain's default setting is "Solve the problem/puzzle."

Politics often depends on the richest in society.

That's why I'm SO proud of our campaign. We're funded small dollar donors. We've raised almost 6x more in donations under $200 than the next five candidates in my race COMBINED.

We're by and for the people — NOT corporations and billionaires.

Abughazaleh, Katherine M.
$1,158,374.00

Biss, Daniel
$70,333.23

Fine, Laura
$43,578.61

Huynh, Khai-Hoan

Simmons, Mike
$22,965.33

Andrew, Philip Jerome

I'm trying to figure out where the "We're so cooked" people fit in this equation. Because they do. Somehow.

There is an actual life-changing conflict between WFH being cheaper and more efficient, an entire layer of middle managers who need to have meetings to feel alive, and the commercial real estate cabal that runs all cities. It’s going to get so fucking weird.

remote work is like birth control or UBI atp where there’s overwhelming research consensus they improve quality of life for people they apply to, yet access is impeded or blocked by the ruling class because the thought of marginalized ppl having rich full lives makes steam come out their ears

2. Rolling Stone is owned by a large media conglomerate, which is ending remote work across its brands.

My home is Portland, Oregon, ~1,000 miles from the nearest office, so this marks the end of the line for me at RS.

Based on the sudden influx of snarky posts, I assume there's a new "dumb person said something dumb"...

If we ignore the fact that I can't drive, I'm more of a Dodge or Ford kinda human.

Although, it does remind me of the time my anthro professor told us he wrote to the producers of the OG Planet of the Apes to tell them they got it wrong. Chimps should be the brutal violent soldiers and gorillas should be the chill scientists.

How much money did Jared Pedo just cost the Mouse and how many new episodes of Willow would that money have paid for?

The Alaska Native village of Kipnuk was due to receive a $20M grant from the EPA that they were going to use for flood protection.

It was labelled “wasteful DEI spending” and canceled.
