Look at that tshirt. I bet it smells crazy in that conference room.
Any Republican or Democrat who continues to support Palantir, takes money from them, or refuses to hold them accountable is not your friend and should not be supported.

Shame on NYU Langone for ending gender-affirming care & kicking trans New Yorkers to the curb. It's a violation of their promise to treat all people equally, kindly, and respectfully — and a violation of NYC's human rights law as well. Bending the knee is bad; denying people care is even worse.

Le Guin and Orwell are such great writers to discover because they have SO MUCH to say and somehow are constantly relevant.

Have you ever brought a white elephant gift to a corporate holiday party so good (read: upsetting) that the company still talks about it 15 years later?

The Death Star board room scene is low key the funniest scene in cinematic history. It’s a work meeting with an evil samurai wizard everyone else finds mildly annoying and when his manager tells him to stop killing a coworker with his magicka, he has to listen.

Pretty sure this error is why the classics kids kill Bunny in The Secret History.
Just found out I've been getting Richard [sic] Lattimore's name wrong for years because as it turns out it's Richmond Lattimore. Are you fucking kidding me. I hope I didn't look like an ass in front of anyone important.
