If you litter cigarette butts, you’re trash. Someone flicked a butt out of their car and it flew straight into mine, smolder and all. It would have burned a hole in my seat if it didn’t ember down my fucking brother’s shirt.
Assholes.

Why do they still hide the switch under the lampshade? You can barely reach it with the lights on, let alone flip it on at night. Touch lamps only in my house.

Not my HR team presenting on sexual harassment, giving a real-life example about Joe, who transitions into Sally, only to deadname her for the rest of the story, AND calling her, “him”. 💀

You know a movie is bad when there’s a crater between 4 & 5⭐️ user reviews, where 4.5⭐️ should be.
See, anyone can drop an ironic 4 or 5⭐️ review, but 4.5⭐️ is an acknowledgement that something great was there—and it was nearly perfect. That’s a serious statement requesting to be challenged.

We all observed this happen during Covid, but this just connected the dots on the WHY.
Admittedly, I drive totally selfish now (not reckless) because personal vehicles are, by definition, selfish. PERSONAL. The American road system is masterfully designed to disincentivize altruism to other humans.

I strongly believe this has had a lot of disastrous cultural effects and is important to "treatlerism" becoming acceptable as an open ideology.
a very key thing about Donald Trump is that he cannot perform the symbolic roles of the presidency even a little bit.

I really wish this “bend the knee” framing would stop. They’re not acquiescing or being forced to comply. They’re putting themselves in a good position to maximize profits. These are billionaires and corporations; applying morality to their motives gives them way too much credit.
ABC (Disney), Washington Post (Bezos), Meta (Zuckerberg), LA Times (Soon-Shiong)... all bending the knee to Trump, all obeying in advance, all sucking up to the Dictator-in-Waiting.
This is (part of) how democracies die. This is the Orban, Putin, Netanyahu and Modi playbooks.
