Michelle Obama Opens Up About 'Imposter Syndrome'
"It doesn't go away, that feeling that you shouldn't take me that seriously. What do I know?" Michelle Obama said.

For the next 3 years. I'll vote for anyone who promises to arrest every member of the Trump administration, the members of this corrupt Supreme Court, and roll back every single Trump Executive order and policy.

Ultimately, the story here isn't Olivia Nuzzi, but the incredibly insular and dysfunctional Beltway Media cult that shapes so much of our political coverage.

If you go look at her twitter, nuzzi was (is??) supported by A LOT in the DC press corps
We need to have serious conversations about 1/ nuzzi was never, ever a “genius” or “unusually talented writer”, 2/ the DC press corps is highly problematic

Why do all these 'ceos' hate their customers so much?
Like I get their staff - they've been trained to see them as 'cost' rather than 'the thing that gets you money'.
But customers are also 'thing that gets you money'. You should freakin' love them.

Me trying to find anyone online try to figure out hair dye, and it's just thousands of people being like 'do I look cute with this? Which one do you prefer?'
Meanwhile I'm asking about chemistry and colour theory, which clearly doesn't affect anyone else?

Went to the store and saw the current dresses in season.
Listen, they've been long for a few years, which is a recession indicator.
The fact that they're even longer, long sleeves, an covering the chest and neck IN SUMMER - I think we might be a bit more than a recession.

Hmm. Glad there's a hair stylist near me that includes language and such for non-binary/gender neutral - but also noticing the price list for them is the same as women (much higher than the mens). Hmm.

Ok, this may be an asinine question but...say I wasn't a multimillionaire/billionaire and I wanted to run a news outlet that made money.
Why wouldn't I run one that's exactly opposite than what everyone else is doing? Why wouldn't I use language that correctly depicts what's going on?

So, the problem I was starting to have with Twitter and now with Bsky is that there are so many insanely knowledgeable people on here in industries that are not easy to understand the real inner workings on.
But if I ask those people ?s, if I get any response it's typically dismissal.
