Big Gender has been killing all the start-ups for over a century to maintain it's monopoly.

This is going to sound terrible, but it just reminds me of an abused spouse.
"If I just do this or that, then they'll like me again..."
We're gonna lose the kids if we do that. This new generation knows better.

Did you trash talk by threating to get all "Grand Moff on her ass!"
It's in the Wookiepedia look it up. It's not nice.

An Irishman and and Englishman go to the pool to swim.
The Englishman turns and says "I hear you're a good swimmer. What's your favorite stroke?"
And the Irishman replies, "Margarette Thatcher's"

Cheers, Brit! I remember seeing this in person when it first showed. It hit like an alarm bell in a vacuum.
Here's a fun joke for you along the same lines.

Lovely. Reminds me of an image out of Willa Cather's My Antonia. Simple and feminine and yet tough enough to crush an ambitious young man's heart for decades. 🙃To paraphrase Jonny Cash - you walk the line. 🔥☮️

Yep. I teach AP Calculus and physics. I work very hard to make it accessible and to allow multiple chances. Some students complain about the work even tho it's a set curriculum. Others leave anonymous, kind notes on my white board. It's crazy how affected I am by both after 20 years of teaching!

Every song corresponds to another on the Rolling Stones Exile on Main Street. This is a rebuttal to Jagger bragging about being an asshole on Rip This Joint. It just crushes.
Sorry to jump in with this - but sadly it all seems so damn relevant. ☮️

"Check out the thinning hair
Check out the aftershave
Check out America
You're looking at it, babe"
31 years old and Exile in Guyville still hits me like a gut punch. Every damn song. 😶💔

I'm surprised you didn't know that, Brit.
While we're on the subject please refrain from using the term paddy wagon. It's offensive.
From now on, please refer to it as a patrick wagon.

The problem is that, as a media market, it is expensive as hell. It's nearly impossible for a new candidate to break through the noise.
We also have rank choice voting, so he'll pick up secondary votes by virtue of name recognition.
People are simply neophobic. It's the devil they know.

LOL. I love how she just throws that in.
We're not your therapist, Joni. Seek help. You don't want to become the next Nancy Mace. And by "Nancy" I mean The Joker.

We’re losing a propaganda war. Jefferies can barely communicate and we’re being crushed by GOP propaganda.
Propaganda >> communications
We’ll lose every time.

We’re losing a propaganda war. You and Jeffries want to communicate while the GOP is crushing us with propaganda.

I’d rather win elections than lawsuits and you presume a false choice.
Right now republicans are defying the courts and rewriting the laws because they have power.
So maybe his way sucks eggs.

Yep. What's even more insane is that they only emerge in multiples of prime numbers (13 or 17 years) to avoid natural patterns in their predators.

Wow! Hang tough and thanks for pushing back against the normalization of insanity. There's a lot of good people doing good work in education, healthcare, and other service sectors. It's helps us to NOT feel like suckers. 💓

Looks amazing. I love a good mythos.
I dream about having the time again, but I worry I'm so far out of the loop that the classic UI paradigms will be a foreign language.
Some of my favorite memories were watching my son play god of war in Covid. LOL.

You raise hell now so that you can cheerlead during the general election.
Any voter who doesn't understand that dichotomy has been brainwashed by capitalism into surrendering their democratic power.
comment in response to
post
The Dems who are afraid to criticize our old, feeble reps don't appreciate the game theory of democracy.
Voting isn't a capitalist purchase off a lunch menu. WE are the cooks. We decide who is on the ballot. AND we must demand that they represent us.

"Pressure on people. People on... streets."
I go out with a crew to hear house music. That's my therapy. I couldn't get that line out of my head so I looped it out loud, and the floor freaked out, as if - duh, yeah, we need this. That subtle pause just begs you to wake up and feel. 💘

Yeah. Yoga instructors do not like it when they feel called out.
"Take a deep breath and relax. Let the stress of the day wash away as you come to this moment, this peaceful moment, and we remember to love ourselves unconditionally... Now look what I can do!" 🤸
