#target has been on the decline for a while anyway. first it was moving stocking duties to daytime, then the decrease in quality product… now DEI ends. it shows when a business doesn’t invest in its people

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Sincerely delighted to discover, 45 minutes into this nearly-wordless three-hour documentary about French monks who take vows of silence, that among the reasons they can talk is "to make sure the monastery cats know when it's mealtime by making little kitty-calling noises at them."
