12" mixes are like gorging yourself on something you liked until you thought you'd had enough and then you still could handle more.
the radio edit of "No More Tears (Enough is Enough) is 4:39, Barbra put an 8:19 cut on her album, and Donna put an 11:43 12" recording on hers. do you realize how TREMENDOUS material has to be for Barbra Streisand and Donna Summer to take it and roll it up like this in a coördinated attack!!!

One of the reasons Sweden's vacation law is centered on contiguous use over several weeks is the effect was so clear on people's well-being. 3 weeks in sequence was a norm pretty early.

This obsession with leisure be it not wanting to wake up at 7 am for a job, or thinking burrito taxis are a human right is one of the biggest left to reactionary pipelines, because the most leisurely societies historically were slave societies where the masters owned people to do all the work

If you're not willing to honestly engage with the benefits cliff and that the calculation for SNAP is woefully out of date with existing costs, you can simply say nothing.

99% of the thrill of retirement is going to be sleeping whenever I fucking want to. Someone thinking they're getting secular sainthood ranting about going to bed at 9PM? Just wait.

Adjacent to the fucking weirdos who think all crime happens after midnight and being out after midnight is why crimes happened to you and you deserved it.
i am absolutely not doing fucking bedtime discourse, i am 45 years old, if you lecture me about what time i should be going to bed and waking up i will cram you into a cannon and shoot you into the sun myself

I was apparently today years old when I learned some people are unaware of polar night and midnight sun. I guess Zara Larsson hasn't reached everyone.
Meanwhile I'm remembering having to go to school in the dark for months because even if there was sunlight, the clouds made it an academic argument.

I'm sorry but if you're out here trying to claim the human body moves with sunrise and sunset does fire exist where you live? We invented fire around a million years ago, so it should.

What, exactly, is society's benefit that I'm grouchy on transit in the morning? Riddle me that Alex.
And it's not really an economic system issue, it's morning people are evil and need to be locked up.

“Capitalism forces you to wake up at 7am against your body’s natural rhythms” no that’s Taylorism and if you don’t like living in a society that coordinates effort to ensure a better outcome for all then I don’t think you’ll love the alternatives

While not uncommon for this time of year, brace yourselves for weather whiplash this week.
Pictured here is the high temp forecast for Wed (mid-60s to near 70) and the low temp forecast for Fri AM (upper 20s to near 30). Highs only in the 40s for Turkey Day with a gusty breeze.

It's relatively simple weighted numbers math. How can this be that difficult?
Interesting: In testimony to the D.C. Council about implementing ranked-choice voting next year, elections board director Monica Evans says reporting results will take longer, up to 10 days after the election. That's because all mail ballots need to be received before counting.

The Ethel was built on land provided by the city and benefited from a cascade of government subsidies that helped enrich its developers, a Washington Post investigation found.

Having to buy all new filters for my indoor returns because we're finally getting an HVAC configuration that matches the house is yet another "why do I even bother" moment in home ownership.

"Fuck HR, everybody hates HR" is pretty standard in employment. Until recently that was a bit different in the federal government but if Becky was nuking her already a week past fresh bland fish in the office microwave we'd be having discussions.
Last Christmas I drew the woman who always microwaves fish in the break room for Secret Santa. I bought a second-hand microwave for her office so she could cook it there instead. HR reprimanded me. I'm willing to bet it's because she is in HR.
