Me: like 5%
"50%-60%?
Me: 5%
"But how much time?"
Me: "maybe 30 minutes"
"What did it not do compared to what you did??"

OMG, the way men in the workplace need to be coddled constantly because they get extremely butthurt when a woman knows more than them.
I'm not linking to that NYT piece today, but of all the horrible parts of it, this was the worst. This was an explanation of "female vices" in the workplace and LET ME JUST TELL YOU...

I think this fish might actually be rotting from the tail. Deep red towns and counties that have elected far right loud mouths are learning that they can't actually govern. They waste time and money on issues that have no local effects.
this is a really good development and historically how these far right movements have fractured and lost momentum in the past. i think it's maybe all too big now to fall apart quickly but i'm keeping an eye on it

I went up to Portland last week, and it was really lovely. I was there to see Garbage play at the Crystal Ballroom. Shirley Manson had some nice things to say about the protests in her awesome Scottish accent.

Emma, and so many others, have an offensive stereotype of a white working class person.
Like did you know Maine has one of the largest French speaking populations in the US due to the large number of Acadian descendants?

Fuck this. If “Nazi tattoo” doesn’t cross the line, you have no line.

I have a white supremacist cousin who tried to join the Navy many years ago and got a "failure to adapt." I know someone else that was rejected just because they had a tattoo that was sus. You don't get in just by passing a physical.
New policy: people who imply or state that it's common and regular for veterans to walk around with Nazi tattoos are going to catch a block. I'm upset enough already on an ambient level and I don't need that shit in my life, get absolutely fucked

I honestly can't tell if the Trump administration is actually trying to start a civil war or is assuming states will eventually fold.

Had anyone considered this man is a liar? Like, I dunno, maybe he could've just primaried Collins as a Republican.
SCOOP: Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner apologized for homophobic language and antigay slurs he admitted to writing on Reddit in an interview with me this afternoon, after I confronted him on comments I discovered from as recently as 2021.

What's with people who say, "The Nazis are in control and we can't win." Do they come from an alternate reality where Germany won WWII and the Confederates won the Civil War? Are we still part of Britain? What are you talking about?

What if we just required big box stores to have roof top solar? Their roofs are ugly anyway. Can you imagine if every Wal-Mart, Target, Home Depot, Lowes and Best Buy had solar panels? Probably could power small towns.

I sort of think of people who oppose as AI as being like vegans. I'm not a vegan, but I'm not going to make them eat meat. But I'm also not going to put up with being judged for not being vegan.

Is it weird that I've never obsessed about lowering my taxes?
When I bought my house a few people advised me that I would pay higher taxes in the area I chose. And I was like, but I want to live where there is a library. Libraries make communities better.

I feel like something people are missing is Portland OR is 635,749 people. 1/3 the population of Chicago less than half the population of Manhattan. The protests are isolated around a single building. There won't even be breathing room for the amount of National Guard Trump wants to send.
Am I going insane or does the top of this NYT story on Portland read like vintage Breitbart?
