My organization has unfortunately implemented a really dumb RTO policy, requiring everyone within a 100 mile radius to work in a local office to days a week.
This means that needing an unexpected urgent care visit this morning encouraged me to take a sick day instead of working.

My dad a day after 1/6 was rattled, borderline horrified. Two weeks later he was asking me how I could get so worked up about a walking tour of the U.S. Capitol. Propaganda works!

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

Here’s my take on the Bluesky posting discourse:
I think a Reddit style moderated community feature could be helpful to allow for communities to exist and prosper while having moderation to limit the sort of issues that have arisen

I think that this should be illegal, both from the requester and the site responding to the request.

It's also pretty clear that people are posting images of celebrities with the intention of driving engagement with replies asking Grok to take their clothes off.

The consequence of 50 years of GOP sabotage of US governments (state and federal) with libertarian propaganda is that an actual anarchic government aligns with what many Americans expect anyways

IMO, the best criticism to the Venezuela attack is on anti-war grounds, which are way more popular and easier to understand than other lines of criticism (like the illegality of doing it w/o congressional approval, the oil/drug/democracy based motivation, or the extension of racist policies)

Two things I hate about Chicago Union Station:
1) These service platforms in b/w each track, which make the actual platforms too narrow and limit early access
2) These fact that they’re *taller* than the passenger platforms. Like, wtf

The reason you go scorched-earth on this is the same reason we should have gone scorched-earth on impoundment; you can't stop it from happening, but you absolutely need to stop it from becoming a normal part of politics. You have to draw a line.
They didn’t even bother to ask for an AUMF, impeachment

They did it first with trans people and then Haitians got it during the 2024 campaign and now we’re onto Somalis and that’s why you have to hold the line and shun and disavow anyone who tries to dehumanize a minority group because that slope is slippery af
i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad

Our electoral system is so dumb b/c I would guess that there would be pretty overwhelming support for cracking down on this sort of fraud, but unfortunately voters have bigger priorities like being racist and punishing the previous administration for not preventing Covid inflation.

Anecdata, but my cousin in Hoboken switched from PATH to bus during their maintenance shutdown this year and she’s not going back. It’s so much more comfortable, convenient, and reliable for her than going back to the PATH train.
My cousins and I grew up in upper class exurban neighborhoods,

One thing I wrote about here is how technology has made buses *way* more convenient while techno-futurists were obsessed with flying taxis and self-driving cars.

So did Mayor Adams mean anything by using Good Riddance as the song for this reel reflecting on his time as mayor?

like 75% of dem messaging right now should be “the party led by epsteins best friend is breaking into pre-k childcare centers so they can record your toddlers and put the videos on internet”
uhhh yeah I can see why these childcare properties weren't eager to let in some rando dudes asking "where are the kids?"

In addition of free MCTS rides after 8pm today, 9 routes will have service extended until 4am running every 25-30 minutes. This year route 14 will provide service along Wisconsin Avenue to 17th street and the BlueLine will run to 76th and mill road instead of ending at Hampton.

Yes, right wingers want an apartheid state where the law only applies to those they don’t like
