I Just Felt the Earth Move Under My Feet

When was the last time we had an honest-to-God “Holy Shit” moment in the bland, predictable world of Vermont politics? I’m thinking it was 2014, when Scott Milne nearly defeated i…

Stunning poll numbers! Are Vermonters finally willing to admit that Uncle Phil is an empty suit?

You’ve asked the media this? It seems more likely that our anemic media simply can’t be bothered with election reporting anymore.

This is why Extinction Rebellion called for disrupting business as usual, but you just wouldn't listen

This Age of Impunity we're living in is not playing out only at the government and oligarch levels. I see it every day now at the grunt level, as self-interested idiots "work fast and break stuff" to get a leg up at the office. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/it-s-the-a...

15 years ago my 5 yo found her voice by booing the national anthem at a ball game. Never been more proud

It's amazing to watch as previously normal people, coworkers, catch AI fever and turn into elbow-throwing, break-shit-fix-it-later assholes. It's like half the white collar population was just waiting for an excuse to do awful work and then demand praise for it
