The bourgeois are not human.
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

what i love is that in 1990 judas priest got brought to trial over the claim that subliminal messages in the recording "better by you better than me" caused two suicides and now in 2025 openai seems to be generating a suicide a week with its superliminal messages and the US government is funding it

Dorian you know full well that if we stopped to consider everything literary twinks with daddy issues might co-opt, we'd never get anything done.

No offense to my moot here but this discourse has me screaming
It also feels like a of people forgot that the original backlash against "cozy" was more about the cognitive dissonance, incuriosity, and wilfull ignorance that goes into cozy small business owners, landlords, TSA agents, etc. It wasn't the pastel colours and soothing ambience people were objecting

No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

Honestly, people calling creators the "petite bourgeoisie" makes me want to snap.
We're working folk. And we work really hard. For next to nothing.
We're not lounging around eating bonbons. We're trying to figure out how we're going to be able to pay rent next month.

This is an actual movie!
And, honestly, it's a gas! Herzog engaging in a meta-parody of his own filmography, tricked by Zak Penn to film a cheap and salacious monster hunting movie... with a real (?) monster lurking in the background, beneath the surface.

I don't mean to be a snob about it-
But this past year, I've read books like Beloved, Revelation Space, A Man Lies Dreaming, Burnt Offerings, Woman in the Dunes and Exquisite Corpse.
Give me voice and character and a passion for the craft, any day of the week.
