What if the vibecession is a psyop by The Bosses to make people experience precarity while labor still actually has the power to extract concessions rather than make them.

Being a teacher is 20% pedagogy & preparation, 20% entertainer, 60% mass hypnotist/conman —
So today i spent about 90 minutes trying to persuade two sets of parents parents that neither of their teenaged boys are felons nor victims of felonies.

Okay, I admit it. I’m a little bit angry that the book I’m reading got 200x more interesting at the half point.
I know you need SOME space to establish character and motivation but… couldn’t SOMETHING have been interesting during the first half?!

I have the flu.
It's exhausting.
But what's really exhausting? Eating.
But not eating is a downward spiral of exhaustion robbing me of the energy to eat.
I did this a few years ago, got the flu, recovered, still had major fatigue, went to the doctor. He said, "Dude, eat." I ate and got better.

I know that the amount of money he has left makes the loss meaningless, but I do like the fact that nobody in history has ever lost more money than that one guy with the rockets and EVs/
I just wish he had lost it into something instead of it being evaporated equity value.

Naive question: why wasn’t the minority whip all over those D senators breaking party solidarity?
True, cynic-making answer: the whip was one of the senators breaking party solidarity.

FWIW I honestly believe that the Gatsby party is a willful, planned joke. “Parties do kill people and we’re doing it anyway. So we choose an icon of rich people killing people and make that the party theme.”

The real surprise? It took 22 years for a badge and gun agency without decades of legal restriction cruft to become a terrorizing paramilitary.
*They just had to wait for Americans to hate each other enough.

Let’s say that even though the fisherman air strikes are murder and the perps are known, they’re hard to prosecute.
And if (big if) we are supposed to give deference to the explanation that those are drug smugglers, aren’t they ALSO be violations of posse comitatus?

Everybody KNOWS you don’t break a fall with your palm down to the ground… but you can only avoid doing it with practice.

Now eagerly awaiting Trump v USA (yes, in that order) over the White House construction: noise pollution, and loss of productivity should be about a billion dollar settlement, right?
And Trump v USA over Trump’s working hours, that has to be against labor laws, right? Another billion?

SCOTUS always stays injunctions against TRUMPOTUS, no matter how blatantly illegal the action.
SCOTUS usually rules on merits *against* TRUMPOTUS, never changing what is and is not legal.
TRUMPOTUS never stops doing illegal things and is never stopped from them either.
Courts will not save us.

1. I believe it is a positive thing that Israel has stopped bombing Gaza and let in hundreds of aid trucks over the last couple days.
2. I believe it is a sign of Israel's belief in the stability of this ceasefire that they are not letting in the stipulated amount of aid.

I was in Canada 2 weeks ago. I need to go to Indonesia in a few months. I needed to renew my passport between them, which looks easy, but with buying plane tickets and stuff it felt a little wobbly. And then the government shut down.
Buhhhht, passport services are (fully?) funded by fees. Yay fees!

Baseless (read: false) claim of the day:
Trump’s hand discolorations are actually injuries from wearing ill fitting Trump Watches during the design and testing phases.

Why you can’t “let American feel the pain” of bad Trump decisions.
Each program that is allowed to suck reduces Americans’ belief that government CAN do anything but enrich the connected.
If you’re not getting your health care through ACA you (statistically) stop caring if it’s dismantled.

I had a brief business trip to Canada last week.
And I learned something devestating.
Canadians have Cadbury Mini Eggs year-round. They are actually mini'er than the mini eggs I fell in love with, which throws off the candy-shell to chocolate ratio a little. but JUST A LITTLE.
