I started writing about the 4-day week & 6-hour day around 2000. Glad to see I was sooo effective getting the word out. LOL
While not every field can do it...even shift work can:
2 people on 6-hr shifts beats 1 exhausted worker doing 12.
Efficiency > exhaustion.

Pres. Reagan: when advisers couldn’t find a legal way to do what he’d promised, he said, “OK, then we’re not going to do it.”
Trump: “Find a f**king way. DO IT. Lie.”
(See his call to Georgia officials to “find 11,780 votes.”)
Iran/Contra? Wrong — but not Reagan grifting.

Donald Trump says invoking the Insurrection Act is “on the table.” That means the 25th Amendment — the constitutional process for removing an unfit president unfit to serve, like Trump — IS also part of the discussion. #25thAmendment

Donald Trump actually thinks he’s a genius.
He claims his new “peace deal” ends conflict in Israel — and the Middle East — saying it’s over after 3,000 years.
This isn’t genius.
It’s delusion.
This guy is OUR President?
HOW?

If you’re not angry at those who cheered a convicted felon into our WH, AGAIN — BE Angry!
Then accept them, turn our collective anger into ACTION.
Channel their vapid selective ignorance & delayed reality into VOTES, organizing, & accountability.
Trump must GO!

It’s a surprisingly thoughtful horror community — a mix of creators, readers, and indie filmmakers. Stop by if you’re into dark fiction, surreal storytelling, or just want to talk horror that means something.
