The theme of the 28 (measure of time) zombie movies are ‘People are FUCKING STUPID, right? Right?’

This is nothing new. One of the main grifters during Gamergate was an author who rose to infamy for making her entire cause about saying boys were being feminized by removing bullying from schools.

wtf is wrong with these people

NYT: A Campaign to 'Bring Back Bullying'

On social media, some are arguing that bullying deserves a second look. Trolling or not, the push seems to reflect a general turn away from sensitivity.

Today in: ‘oh, come on’ I had to call 911 because a very elderly lady from upstairs knocked on my door at 1AM saying there was someone in her apartment trying to kill her.

All well. Except RIP my sleep.

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

Right this second I'm mostly okay, but I'm thinking ahead to the end of the month, and I haven't had quite as much work come in as I'd like to be sure I'll make rent at that time. Contact me if you'd like some closed captions made for your videos, or you can still buy my stickers!

Support MarzGurl ❤️

perhaps the biggest story TFPever ran was a catastrophically shoddy argument that George Floyd ackshully died of an overdose. When confronted with irrefutable evidence that the piece was simply wrong, Weiss didn’t take it down, she asked her critic, @radleybalko.bsky.social, to come on a podcast.

Ha! Superpowers are active.

I KNEW the guy in the Vigilante costume in S1 of Peacemaker wasn’t always Stroma.

They recast the part! 5 episodes in! I KNEW it.

Also thank heck. Stroma is made for that role.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

The Ig Nobel is incredible , one year an Indian guy won it for calculating the average surface area of an elephant and during his acceptance they had an elephant hold up a sign with the surface area of the scientist on it, they do showbiz better than the Oscars

Watching Jay, I realize I am simply exhausted by folks in positions of leadership who are driven to distraction by critique.

If you can't function with critique and pushback, a leadership position is not for you.

Leadership REQUIRES you to absorb and process the critique of stakeholders.
