They never stand *for* anything (well, helping rich people get more money and power, but that's not really a popular position), so the grievances eventually get recycled because it's all they have.

I have too many bikes so I'm giving an old road bike away. And it's still difficult because every bike has fond memories.

They are terrified of the No Kings rallies and doing everything they can to discredit them.

If you're on the fence about going, just think of how much it'll piss off these assholes.

Emmer: "We call it the 'Hate America' rally because you'll see the hate for America all over this thing when they show up. The rumor is that they can't end this shutdown because this small but very violent and vocal group is the only one that's happy about this."

Most of the time in my day is spent wishing contacts on LinkedIn happy birthday and happy work anniversary, so grateful for that site and its important notifications.

I'm so thirsty if I had a big glass of water in front of me I'd be like hell yeah, and I'd take it, and i'd start drinking, and then I'd drink so much of it people would be like whoa, but I wouldn't reply because I'd be drinking it, and then finally, I'd have downed the whole thing. And without skipping a beat I'd say garcon, a water refill, por favor, and I'm not even in a restaurant!

Preparing for a crazy hard tech screen from a tech company sucks. I'm super stressed.

And I'm preparing for two.

Figure I'll fail both but hey.

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged..."

WELKER: Are you looking at invoking the Insurrection Act?

VANCE: We have to remember we are talking about this bc crime has gotten out of control

W: Crime is down in both Chicago & Portland

V: Crime is down bc they are so overwhelmed at the local level they are not even keeping stats properly

They are absolutely different tales. Nicholson's Torrance is never really a good guy, just not completely bad yet when he arrives. But it feels more like he becomes his true self rather than the house turning him.

I would have considered going to the theater as I like the franchise but I have zero interest in any movie featuring sex pest Leto.
