I don’t mean to sound nasty but if you’re still claiming the democrats did all they could to prevent what is happening right now then you have diarrhoea brains

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 18h

Letting social media hot takes build your entire idea of your political peers is intensely stupid given how few of them are here on this platform shitposting with you.

Make fun of them here, sure, but leave it here.

Diane Keaton was in the original cast of "Hair". You can hear her lead the song "Black Boys" on the soundtrack recording.

Uh.
Fun fact?

Oh calm down. Ffs

I'm not sure how you got to lobbing petrol bombs from me making light of a dismissive analogy but I think there's a chance I'm not one of the people in this thread itching for a fight.

Jeeze the politician fans are PISSY tonight.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 1d

Well hello to you too, piss baby.

I'm not going to (poorly) try to diagnose your whole political bent from a couple snide social media comments like you did so I guess you win?

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 1d

The topic being discussed. Which is not his general fitness or track record but his specific tough talk about protecting his constituents that doesn't appear to have been backed up.
I think thats a valid opinion not worthy of the BS dismissal I was responding to.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 1d

Since "he gave me hope that a politician would push back against ICE" is the specific thing that's being addressed here and the thing he's disappointing people about does any of that shit you just said actually apply/matter?

Rhetorical questions are fun.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 1d

It's exactly like that. Except it's not a tip, it's political capital. And it's not the waiter forgetting to refill their water glass, it's watching a governor talk a big game but not follow through when his constituents are being brutalized by secret police.

But yeah, perfect analogy.

Especially when you consider the relief program being linked to here touting a credit line for food purchases is from the Military Commisary Agency - which Hegseth wants to shut down to get the military "out of the grocery business"

Reddit conservatives were very sad today.

I sometimes do work for publishing houses. This was a request that came to me the DAY that it was due and had NO assets for me to use: this is me taking a pdf of the book and making this from complete scratch! It would be good if you hired me actually! I can do stuff! This looks like a real ad!

*CBP

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 2d

I actually just didn't realize this was Chicago.

Since CPB has jurisdiction over ports of entry, (like at least 5 Illinois airports including O'Hare) my point stands. They have a LOT more authority than most folks realize.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 2d

Border patrol jurisdiction is anything within 100 miles of a border. The entirety of Michigan is technically in their jurisdiction.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 2d

Insanely so.
I came across one that had a pay range that started at $25 an hour requesting a masters or PhD AND 10 years of experience in the specific industry niche.
It's like they write them specifically to be unfillable.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 2d

I should not be reading comments on LinkedIn. It's absolutely insane what people flagged as looking for work feel totally comfortable saying with their name, their job, etc. right there beside an image of their face.
Genocide denial makes for a weird business introduction.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 2d

This kinda stuff is extremely pervasive in my field. List a job that reads like an internship, requires a PhD.

Maddening @maddening.bsky.social · 2d

A job listing for a position with a gambling website doing UX Researcher that pays $55k a year and wants the candidate to have a Masters of Anthropology.

Hiring managers have lost their damned minds.

Since the article didnt get into it - both US English and ProEnglish were headed up by noted white supremacist John Tanton until his death in 2019.
His nativist activism has been watering this tree since the 80s.

The Nobel Peace prize exists out of guilt and as PR for someone long dead and has been awarded to some true blue monsters so like, sure, give one to Trump too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
