They have been publishing articles like this for two decades: "Gee willikers, what Republicans do with power doesn't match their rhetoric at all!"

So the FBI could surveil & then assassinate a 21 year old Civil Rights leader in 1969, but is powerless to take any steps to stop--checks notes--a 19 year old who goes by the name Big Balls from defunding and defrauding a $6 Trillion economy? Do I have that right?

So within one week of gutting aviation safety, we have a plane crash with no survivors? What a mystery! How does this happen? I can’t figure how how these two things are connected

Women-led spaces are often more productive. Too often male-dominated spaces are ruled by ego, where women are socialized to work together. Women are able to problem-solve and maximize strengths because the ego and arrogance of needing to be “on top” is not an affliction we suffer.

And then the courts give full custody to the parent sabotaging the child’s health and safety, and call the other parent a controlling, manipulative wench engaging in parental alienation.
The best metaphor is of two parents competing for the affection of a child and one does the right thing for the child's health, the other lies to the child, lets them eat like sht, doesn't make them attend school, or do anything the kid doesn't want to do.

Since we are talking about DEI hires, let me tell you about a man who was hired in my same position without the necessary degree and then even though I’d been there longer, he was given a raise that made our pay equivalent. I also did half of his job and all of mine. Mediocrity rewarded.

Snowing in the US south, after a fascist and his regime steps into power is the best symbolism of hell freezing over I could imagine. The earth is healing.

Fourteen years ago my boy was born in the worst blizzard of the season. Came in a flurry as the sun rose. He has always loved the cold, and today is the coldest day of the year at -8F(-22C) and he says it’s his kind of weather.

As the U.S. shifts into a volatile political landscape targeting critical thinking, I want to share an important reminder to the #booksky community:

The only way to preserve literature is by collecting physical copies.

I know, Kindle users, it sucks—but your digital copy can be deleted any time.

It’s so fucking sad that all these rich fucks ruining us are fucking losers, too ugly to look at, and absolutely void of moral character.

I mean they could at least be hot.
