Same

It felt like I was lying.

At the beginning of Covid, I would start singing 🎶 “C’mon and Zoom” the every time I heard about the other Zoom.

I would buy that shirt up.

But mostly I want something with Lady Elaine from Mr Rogers looking very snooty.

"30-year-old conservative lawyer and activist who is Trump’s nominee to lead the Office of Special Counsel, which deals with federal employee whistleblower complaints and discrimination" cancelled his colleague's hotel room so she would be forced to stay with him.
www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn’t have a hotel room.

Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

Lighting money on fire paying people for not being productive? That’s what they want?

All love to JLD, I find Veep unwatchable now because it’s just too…quant at this point.

I’m not sure MLK could be successful today because of the nihilism and shamelessness or the perpetrators.

Ok, which country will pay out SS and Medicaid for the elderly when there’s now only half a population paying in?

The South would demand the US continue to pay when half the people paying into the system are no longer there.

It’s not that simple

Until people figure out how to do the social safety

I rarely go to the physical library. I can access any of the major newspapers and long-form magazines™️ through the library website. The Libby app gets me audiobooks/e-books so the only time I go is when I want a physical book.
When we lived in NJ, we could request books and they would mail them!

Says the guy who wants everyone’s work given to him for free.

I’d happily do my job for free, but I need to eat. What you’re pushing is the same BS higher admin pulls-that we should take less so more students can go to college.It’s just a way to manipulate.

Writing is work deserving of pay.

Ask your library.

But if I tell my library I want something, they usually get it for me.

I can log in to my account at the library and read this article right now.

How much faster does it need to be?
