There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more
As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

A woman is killed by a man every 3 days in the UK...
78% are murdered by a partner/ex
Yet not once have I heard Reform talk about this
Not once have I heard them back measures to protect women’s safety
In fact, they voted against them...

I know everything is blowing up here at home, but Jamaica is staring down the barrel of one of the worst hurricanes ever to hit and I'm horrified because I know we can't count on this US administration to provide relief like every prior admin has done

Some of us screamed the cinema down. But best living storytellers are built... differently
Okay, since we’re talking kid’s movies, I will now admit that I made my grandma rent WATERSHIP DOWN from Blockbuster like twenty times when I was nine.

So much yes
This is hinged: Tolkien hideously overwrites and his songs are complete shit. And his books all enshrine white supremacy and the notion of bloodlines signifying talent. Still entertaining, LOTR, and I love The Hobbit, but the dark side should be recognized and taught.

Just downloaded/installed/used the ✨completely free✨ "O&O ShutUp10++," and disabled a lot of the spyware/phone home/surveillance aspects of my Windows PC.
Clean, compact, quick. Single .exe, no install, one-click "disable recommended" option. Great program.

Block fascists. There's no reasoning or arguing with them, you might as well debate with spoiled leftovers. Don't let them bait you. Block fast, block often, block fascists. Let their accounts mummify.

as always it's very telling who gets to be a kid just making mistakes (25-35 year old Republican operatives praising Hitler) and who is a full fledged adult who must face the lifelong consequences of their decisions (Black teenagers, college students protesting genocide)
