One time, for A City on Mars, there was a guy who said he hadn't read it, but it seemed superficial. Which, I wish I'd come up with for a character to say in a book.

Ugh! Is it too much to ask for to have folks label snuff videos as graphic?

We're just one store & I don't know if we're representative of everywhere in retail, but ever since ICE started its massive hiring campaign with higher pay and signing bonuses, we're finding it MUCH harder to recruit young, alienated sociopaths who are a danger to customers and other associates.

I'm looking for books with transmasculine protagonists that might help me understand myself. I recently read Rules for Ghosting and found it relatable on so many levels. What's your top rec? I especially like romance, mystery, and sff. No sad endings please! 🌈📚💙

This is bad messaging, but I can’t help remembering every time a Dem tried to talk about Trump being a psycho who would trample domestic and intl. law in 2023-24 and getting met with “I can’t afford milk, talk about something I care about” by the exact same people bitching about this messaging now
Any effort to take Greenland by force or coercion is as ridiculous as it is dangerous.
It would threaten our NATO alliance and do nothing to help Americans here at home afford health insurance, groceries or child care.
Trump ran on lowering costs. It’s time he acted like it.

Or (more likely) the quality of out-party spin just doesn't matter all that much.
Obviously it's possible he "should" be even lower and Dems are the reason he's not. Can't prove that either way. On the other hand, some (not me!) say that he's already at the theoretical floor given polarization.

Gotta say that my feed is full of people complaining about how bad Dems are at messaging and who knows but somehow Trump is record-unpopular for a first year president, underwater on most issues, and Dems are doing great in elections, so *maybe* they're not actually as bad as y'all think.
Showing that Trump II has for now slipped below Trump I and he now has the very worst net approval through at this point of any polling-era presidency. Impressive!

WELP just found out that I'm 50% furloughed for at least the next two weeks because *my project's budget* also still hasn't recovered from November's shutdown either, so WHEEEEEEEEEEE that's fun.
Please keep things like this in mind when you start demanding "SHUTDOWN NOW."

ONCE MORE FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK: the Nov. federal shutdown occurred at the immediate expense of approx. million furloughed or partially-furloughed federal workers (myself included), *absolutely none of whom volunteered for that*. It is not a bad thing that Dems are hesitant to inflict that...
Chuck Schumer rejecting out of hand the one point of leverage he has, the one that was actually working really well last year until he caved, is the most Chuck Schumer he can be.

I genuinely have no way to process this kind of assertion of territorial aggression relative to anything that’s happened in my lifetime, or my parents’ lifetime. Their parents, though, I’ve got an example.
TAPPER: Can you rule out the US is going to take Greenland by force?
MILLER: Greenland should be part of the US. By what right does Denmark assert control over Greenland? The US is the power of NATO
T: So force is on the table?
M: Nobody is gonna fight the US militarily over future of Greenland

I mean, two of my favorite stand-up comics of all time were Bill Cosby and Louis C.K. Absolutely foundational in terms of my sense of humor.
So, favorite now-tainted thing they made? Probably my personality 😕

The flip side of this is like those days when I’m like “I already fucked yo my diet at 10 am by eating a cookie so I am bad and may as well gorge myself all day.” No. We can always make the right choice and telling people they’re axiomatically bad only encourages them to continue to be so.
I am 100% tired of the "actually we're the bad guys, how dare you suggest otherwise" shtick. If a pleasant lie gets Americans to regret their country's sins tell the goddamn lie for half a minute

A child of mine, historically a selective eater, just downed his first-ever cheeseburger.
After each bite he said “This is the best thing I’ve ever tasted.”
As soon as it was gone he groaned “I never want one of those again.”
yep, that’s the cheeseburger experience. Welcome to America, kid.
