I'm sorry, I can't work today. I have books to read.
I can always tell when LinkedIn's been dicking around with the settings because it shuts dark mode off. Get ready for a new batch of notifications I never signed up for!

Standard Narcissist shit. They have no boundaries, and expect everything they "control" to be extensions of them. Children of narcissists are required to perform the same emotions, preferences, and behaviors as the parent. So, yes, he sees the US as an extension, as part of him. it's his. It's him.
"Canada lives because of the United States" is...simply false.
But Trump has transposed his megalomania onto the country, and now he's taking the U.S. down with him on his fantasy adventure as world emperor.

Trump: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us. They should be grateful, also, but they're not. I watched your prime minister yesterday, he wasn't so grateful. But they should be grateful to us. Canada lives because of the United States — remember that, Mark."

My gyno told me today that if I get genetic testing what I Iearn from that testing can become a pre-existing condition and used against me when trying to qualify for future insurance. That is some absolutely bonkers BS. Right up there with my insurance rates being higher because of my lady parts.

As a person who's done a bit of casting for reality shows, this specific "audience" is cited when I pitch potential cast members as well. Don't book too many female talking heads, fat people, overtly queer people. The "audience" won't empathize. These were always supposedly dictates from the network

Begging any member of the press to ask him repeatedly about earning vs gifting. Get him to explain it. Get him mad. Make him storm off and call everyone rude names. He'll do it every time.

Jamelle is correct, and also I am very tired of the media taking everything trump says at face value and not a sign of delusion and/or mental decline when every verbal tic made by Biden, a man with a well-known speech impediment, was treated as if his brain was leaking out of his ears.
the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?
Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Just FYI, for all the people complaining this is how to get around union rules, what if, and just hear me out, y'all let us nonfiction people into the union, so there was no way around it? If you leave a backdoor/loophole situation, employers WILL exploit it. So don't leave it open!

Yep. Make no mistake. They shot a woman for being queer and therefore noncompliant, not for being scary. She's a fucking bitch for not being what that man, in that moment, wanted her to be, and not because she was about to "run him down." And he made sure to film himself putting her in her place.
they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Got these potted tulips for my birthday last year and put them outside once the flowers died to see what might happen. One bulb circling back around in 2026! Very cool. I have no idea how to care for a bulb! 🌱🌷

No, it was a successful coup. None of the people who led it were punished, and are in fact back in power, rewarded for their efforts to break the system by running it. Donald Trump is currently the dictator he attempted to become 5 years ago, and it’s because nobody treated trying as a crime.
We must speak plainly: January 6th was an attempted coup. It was an effort to nullify millions of lawful votes and subvert the will of the American people.

My insurance provider charges me a $20 fee to pay online, so I usually pay by check. With the yearly turnover, they didn't send me a payment slip for January, so I had to pay online, but it only charged me the usual premium, and not the new one. So now it wants the rest, + the $20 AGAIN. I hate them

I hope all the woodwind players in tomorrow’s Rose Parade have devised clever protection for their instruments and that they don’t get rained on too heavily! Marching in a long parade in the pouring rain is deeply miserable.

My 2025 review: 0/10 stars. Two thumbs down. Would not experience again. I don’t even want to speak to the manager. I’m just going to set it here on the ground and never think of it again.

Yes! This is why I talk so much about narcissism and trying to communicate the actual facts of NPD. I keep saying we're a nation in a relationship with an abusive narcissist and the only solution is no contact. It's the only way to break free.
This is why it's so important that people understand that Trump is a narcissist, and MAGA is narcissism operating as a political movement. You can't find a compromise or concession that will ever win them over. The goalposts keep moving, & you keep giving until there is nothing left.
This is why appeasing fascists doesn’t work.
Nothing will ever be enough.
There is a hole in Trump’s psyche that no amount of wealth, praise, and adulation can ever fill.

The little production company I've been working this year stays open over the holidays, though they do close for 2 days last week and 2 days this coming week. The employee handbook doesn't mention vacation days, just the sick days required by CA, so it would have been nice to get a little break.

It's also stupid. They're leaving money on the floor by hiring this way. There are so many good stories to be told out there, and talented people to tell them, but at least 2 white dudes Marvel killed off get to come back because fans can't get enough. (we have to talk about Marvel casting soon!)
