oof this guy is begging to be primaried

the same person at work who's always bothering me (iykyk) sent me a dickish email, copying everyone up to the mayor and I hit him with one of these: "I know that this is difficult to understand. These are areas of the law that are not intuitive to laypeople."

here's the secret to being able to stand up to your boss, the way that I have done, albeit to the detriment of my own mental health: just don't give a shit if you get fired. :) easy. this advice applies double or triple to elected officials. be willing to lose your seat, idiots.

Just dawned on me that the Black clergy have this boycott/ sacrifice coinciding with the duration of Lent. Good on them/ us for putting their wallet where their faith is.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

really seems that to much of the legal academy, the worst thing you can be is rude. twisting history and the law to deprive millions of people of citizenship? well, as long as you’re polite about it!

snuggling up with some coffee, getting my gardening books out for inspiration - classic March activity. As soon as that first steamy June day hits though I'm like FCK IT those plants can take care of THEMSELVES neverMIND I HATE the OUTDOORS.

democrats always say they are going to fight like hell but we don’t even see them fighting like heck

I bought wide leg jeans because all jeans seem to be wide leg now? and I recoiled in horror. all of a sudden I was transported to the year 2001. a bad year for America and a bad year for Rudbeckia.

What's creepier than someone slipping a very thick missive through your home's mail slot with only a handwritten name on it? A very thick missive with your ex-husband's name on it.

normally it’s not really fair to hold the president personally responsible for the performance of the markets. but in this case… 🤪

This Thursday THIRTY elected Democrats will be adopting the 🤨 expression as a subtle protest against the current administration! Please do NOT use the 🤨 expression before Thursday as it will undermine the protest.

"people should start saving now" is an awful shitty thing to say to the 7.5M disabled people on SSI who legally cannot save more than $2k without losing their benefits which are a max of $943 a month to fucking begin with www.cnbc.com/2025/03/01/d...

what if your democratic representative won’t meet with you, timbo

*smugly* I have already been expecting this for many months, Thomas.

the way that Baltimore drivers love to: - block the box - make a 3 point turn literally anywhere and with no notice - double park regardless of consequences should be studied by scientists.

fingers crossed for something good :)

government work is so glamorous - just got stuck in a municipal elevator that had to be hand-pried open

Once again pointing out that for a political party driven by consultants, nobody among the Democrats seems to know how to make a PowerPoint presentation that would earn even a D in an undergrad B school Intro to Consulting course

baseball which is dying all over the place should get off its fat, lazy ass
