...We have 7 managers for 6 employees. When management is out the wheel keeps turning. When a unit member is out, the quality of work decreases, projects are dropped, and deadlines are missed even with clear handoff documents.” (2/2)

Tweety Bird is standing facing the viewer and smiling saying “YEP GOD DID IT AGAIN, HE SENT ME TO SUPPORT MY LOCAL ABORTION PROVIDER - AMEN! THANK YOU JESUS!”

A fake painting of Keanu Reeves looking Jesus-like with a red robe and medieval halo-looking thing behind his head. He is facing the viewer seen from waist up with his arms around Gritty, who is flashing peace signs. A red heart over the hugging pair says “jesus luvs abortion”

wish I could just enjoy the news but Bobby Brain Worm paired it with a letter to state AGs begging them to hunt down evidence that does not exist of abortion being unsafe, & im tired

This regime is so funny. Sometimes theyre like “fuck the law we do what we want 😈” and other times theyre like “the law made us do it 😔” ….and considering how often the outcome is murder & other forms of harm, its such a treat for the outcome here to be more abortion

also ross. Maybe u should question why you think there should be some kind of universal supreme directive for how ppl live their lives ?

Like i get that you fervently want the gov to police UR gods law, but theres simply too many ppls gods to sort out, thats ridonkulous ross cmon now

Screenshot of NYT podcast interview transcript quoting Ross Douthat: And it is impossible for me — as a religious person, I'm sorry - not to look at progressivism right now and say, "You need something else in the horizon besides saying we're all going to be inclusive, and we're going to get rich together with flying cars."
You need to say, "So that we can live in some specific way that we are supposed to live." What is that way, Ezra Klein? How then shall we live?

“Yes some ppl are fighting every day for mere survival. However,, other ppl are not you see. I’m talkin ppl whose wealth & power & status rely on the survival ppls exploitation & poverty. And actually, the comfy ppl don’t want change.

Therefore,, survival ppl, get crushed by this pendulum”

Screenshot of NYT podcast interview transcript quoting Ezra Klein: People just liked - plenty of very comfortable people, many of them liberals - just liked the way things were. They didn't need it to get any better. They weren't going to live in affordable housing.
They were not suffering from an absence of sufficient energy or cheap enough energy. And so, the pendulum has to swing back.

“Plenty of very comfortable people” ah a new White People Euphemism i see

Key words being “the places YOU FEEL are most hostile to you”
Bc HE saw universities as his enemy. His goal was engagement. That liberals generally are not similarly fueled by this petulant, self-aggrandizing, incendiary antagonism is not a defect

Screenshot of NYT podcast interview transcript quoting Ezra Klein: I think the left did not adopt that particular attitude. The left was more likely for quite some time to try to keep someone like Kirk or Ben Shapiro from speaking on campus than to happily debate with them and do the reverse - which is like, "Can you do a speaking tour of evangelical churches?" Can you actually go into the places you feel are most hostile to you and treat that as an interesting place to begin a conversation, even if only to sharpen your own arguments?

ReproMemes @repromemes.bsky.social · 13d

The stakes ARE high! The hour IS late! So why the fuck would you suggest this absurd solution lmao

as @susanrinkunas.com noted…
You just named 3 states that voted within the last 3 years FOR abortion rights,, as an example of why Dems need to run ANTI-abortion candidates??? Literally wat

Screenshot of NYT podcast interview transcript quoting Ezra Klein: And the stakes of politics are almost always incredibly high. I think they happen to be higher now. And I do think a lot of what is happening in terms of the structure of the system itself is dangerous. I think that the hour is late in many ways. My view is that a lot of people who embrace alarm don't embrace what I think obviously follows from that alarm, which is the willingness to make strategic and political decisions you find personally discomfiting, even though they are obviously more likely to help you win.
Taking political positions that'll make it more likely to win Senate seats in Kansas and Ohio and Missouri. Trying to open your coalition to people you didn't want it open to before. Running pro-life Democrats.

also,, “yeah libs calm down. Youre so obsessed w stopping white supremacy” oh????? Big if True!!!

(Same as previous post) Screenshot of NYT podcast interview transcript quoting Ezra Klein: I think there has been an evaporation of a bright horizon in liberal thought, in a lot of left thinking. It has become about averting different kinds of calamities: the calamity of fascism, the calamity of a return to white supremacy or a re-strengthening of it, the calamity of climate change, the calamity of oligarchy.
It's been about how bad it will be we can avert. I don't think that's the right way to look at the future, but I think there is something to that.

“Addressing the biggest threats to humanity’s survival & prosperity is such a bummer topic, thats the problem w liberals”

Listen Up, Mr New York Times Says There’s A Right Way to Look at The Future and Guess What. You Are Doing It Wrong

Sir ,, fuck your acceptance I want systemic change 🫶

Perpetuating this massively overstated narrative that liberals are obsessed with emotional retribution as the end goal is so funny….. transformative justice terrifies you

Screenshot of NYT podcast interview transcript quoting Ezra Klein: There's been something where it feels like our politics has cast its view backward. I think the right has a version of this, which is that we lost touch with who we really are. Then the left has a version of this, which is that we've never fully accepted, repented, transcended who we really were.

couple additional thoughts here……… (read @susanrinkunas.com always)

Susan Rinkunas @susanrinkunas.com · 16d

My professional assessment is that Ezra Klein is a moron @jezebeldotcom.bsky.social

Only an Idiot Would Think We Need Anti-Abortion Democrats

It's beyond time to stop listening to Ezra Klein.

Trump is holding up a paper he just signed that reads “Pregnant & in pain? Do NOT take the safest pain reliever available according to actual doctors. I don’t like Tylenol so. Tough it out.” Below is a thumbs up “yes” to a bottle of Ivermectin and a thumbs down “no” to a box of Tylenol

Text says “POP QUIZ: IS A MEDICATION OR VACCINE DANGEROUS BECAUSE TRUMP AND/OR RFK JR'S BRAIN WORM SAID SO? SCIENCE SAYS: NO” with little cutout photos of them and a stock image of cheerfully correct scientists

🧐 by Republicans definition, political
violence is whatever they want it to mean so they can weaponize it against women of color & other targets & this is just one example

Two columns compare how U.S. House Republicans voted on two related measures.
The left column vote is from Nov. 17, 2021: 207 House Republicans voted to say: NO, GOP Rep. Paul Gosar tweeting a video of an anime version of himself literally murdering Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez with a sword was NOT political violence; 1 Republican voted "present"; 3 Did not vote; 2 House Republicans voted to say: YES, GOP Rep. Paul Gosar tweeting a video of an anime version of himself literally murdering Dem Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez with a sword was political violence.
The right column is dated (TODAY, 9.17.25): 213 House Republicans voted to say it was political violence for Dem Rep. Ihan Omar to repost a tweet about a TikTok video made by Lehigh Valley Workshop saying Charlie Kirk was a "reprehensible human being". 2 Did not vote. 4 House Republicans voted to say NO, it was NOT political violence for Dem Rep. Ilhan Omar to repost a tweet about a TikTok video made by Lehigh Valley Workshop saying Charlie Kirk was a "reprehensible human being".

Victoria and David Beckham back and forth where she says “I transformed an organization today” and he says “Be honest.” She replies “Big Repro orgs should do EXACTLY what I did”, to which he says “And what is that exactly.” She says, “Mass layoffs/firings with zero notice” and he replies “Fuck you”

an org as big & influential as @nwlc.org shouldnt be setting this SHIT example!!

On top panel, Patrick from SpongeBob is wearing a white lab coat and looking in a microscope with a suspicious expression - labeled “Management concocting justifications for surprise firings/lay-offs”. In the bottom panel, he’s sitting on the ground looking confused with a board nailed to his head - labeled “Management when staff try to work with them proactively to improve org sustainability & impact”

Stick figures labeled “Repro employer” says to a celebrating worker “Congrats youre hired!!! We need you to help make abortion possible!” But then A VERY SHORT TIME LATER the employer is showing the worker the door and saying “GOODBYE get out immediately. You are a bloat on our budget. SHUT up & sign this NDA right now if you want any kind of severance. Oh you wanted some kind of notice before losing your job? how ungrateful you are. How greedy. And How Dare You suggest execs take pay cuts instead???? You expect us to live off a WORKERS salary?? Horrible idea see this is precisely why we dont want you here”
