I-an audio visual production professional-have had occasion to sit in on more corporate board meetings than I care to admit. These "cabinet meetings" really do all read the same way as the self-congratulatory executive board and investor meetings of multi-billion-dollar companies. It's beyond gross.
I watched some of the cabinet meeting. It was like a really dark SNL. Like you want it to be funny, it was so bizarre, it was scary. But this is happening. It is an alternative reality that I have a hard time wrapping my mind and heart around it. But then my mind says f’ these m’frs. #RESIST

My morning commute....
Cop: *pulls into 7 Eleven parking lot, gets out of patrol vehicle*
Guy waiting for bus with me (in crossing guard uniform): "Quit your job you fascist pig! I said QUIT YOUR JOB. Your ____ will never fit through the gates of Heaven"
I do love Chicago.

@booker.senate.gov let us down.
We had a moral moment earlier this week then you voted to continue funding Israel's genocide against innocent Gazan civilians.
Not saying Hamas isn't evil, but we shouldn't weaponize another evil to destroy it. And make no mistake what Netanyahu is doing IS evil.

Knowing the strong correlation between gender "nonconformity," queerness and neurodivergence, and knowing just how many theatrical and audio visual techs are neurodivergent,
It never ceases to amaze me when one of my colleagues reveals themselves to be highly transphobic and bigoted.

I mean how else would we know they bought brand new pink suits? I mean, that's how we know they're feminists, right? 🎀🐱🧢
One by one, every Dem should heckle like Green and be proudly thrown out by him.
Not sure why all these Dems showed up tbh. They should have followed @aoc.bsky.social's lead and stayed away.

While I love it for her and think she as a young actor deserves the recognition, I also sorta hate that Mikey Madison is collecting awards and acclaim for Anora, given that she was manipulated into foregoing an intimacy coordinator by a creepy director. Like she's being rewarded for enduring abuse.
