dont call me daughter
When I was 37 I was dating a woman who was 19. The thing that inspired me to break things off was hearing Pearl Jam's "Alive" on the radio - a song released 9 years before her birth she had never heard . In that moment I realized things would never work.

If this all doesn't lead to a Democratic primary with a major focus on developing a humane immigration system, what the fuck?

Starting to think that if I stopped meticulously crafting all my work emails for spelling, grammar and style, as I was taught was a critical skill by several past mentors, that the time I saved would be what makes me rich.

I was working in a small town when the HQ2 competition was happening. It was fucking embarrassing how many people debased themselves to beg Amazon to come shit on their town. Glad we are seeing Amazon's retail business for what it is now. A blight super spreader. Enjoy that Walmart stink.
Progressives like AOC were intensely criticized for helping tank Amazon’s proposed HQ2, which is the land these apartments will be built on.
HQ2 in Virginia has been a total bust and Amazon is planning to replace much of its workforce with robots.
Once again, progressives were right — just early.

I'm going to choose to believe he could resign if this shit poses as big a threat to GOP midterms as it rightfully should. This is tabloid fodder of a kind you can't suppress. I'm not saying we are right there. But we are getting there.

Did anyone else get a push text from new york state today about a fraudulent transaction on your bank of america card? And then immediately an update, saying that was a fraudulent text not sent by the state, and not to respond to it?

A reader told me she was asked to take off her Hellebore “Wind in the Willows” jumper before entering Westminster Abbey. The reason given was that it depicts the devil and might offend people. The reader explained it was the Greek god Pan, but the security guard didn’t backtrack. Satanic panic 2025.
