My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

So...my cat bites her nails.

That's not normal, right?

America needs, at some point, to start prosecuting white collar crime.

I continue to think this is one of the most important and underappreciated media dynamics.

we are literally besieged in all aspects of american life by unrestrained plutocrats who themselves are surrounded by toadies and sycophants, not one person there to tell them that their hair looks idiotic, their plan to invade portland is insane, that their AI does not work. bring back hard truths

I joked about it but it may actually be worthwhile for every Dem who gets on tv to start saying Stephen Miller is the real president

Also, I don't have a short position on anything

Ah, we did not get one of those, largely because we replaced the home's boiler when we bought it. It's fantastic for late fall/early winter though, & it's incredible how efficient the air conditioning is
