If you think there's going to be a response to this other than Little Reichstag Fires Everywhere until midterms, you are sadly mistaken. The good news is, people seem to be sick of it.
Gallup poll | 11/3-11/25

Disapprove 60% (+6)
Approve 36% (-5)

My toxic trait is that I have no toxic traits. I'm too perfect. Also I think Queen is the most overrated band of all time

this is, again, a case of someone who has not done any kind of real work in decades (maybe ever, she has a degree in political science and has been doing HR her entire career) who think the bullshit they sleepwalk through every day is work and don't understand why real human beings get tired by it
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

art exists in dialogue with art criticism. some critics just post for clout but some truly original artists have strong opinions they express through criticism
How do I say this… it’s unprofessional to critique a piece of work for the attention. Difference between talking in private between pals and making it a whole thing on socials, it only ever comes across as mean spirited and immature. The ones who complain the loudest can’t back it up either.

the whole universe of rightwing twitter being driven by foreign accounts impersonating americans is almost certainly caused by the US right wing buying cheap labor, but it's much funnier to imagine that there's a huge international coalition of "weeaboos but for January 6th"

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.
