this is so consistently proven that economists don’t even study it because it would make economics boring. “oh, cancel the big sucking sound? That’s it?” Yup

Based on a conversation I had with him last night, I don't think my husband has ever seen the 2003 documentary "The Fog of War." If true, that ends this weekend. Any selfish, warhawk tendencies must be nipped in the bud.

In some towns, driving on a Friday night with your headlights off would get you pulled over for suspicion of DUI. Not Rockford. That sheriff vehicle flashed high-beams, the minivan turned its lights on, and everyone just kept going.

I regret to inform you, dear coworker in India, that I do not trust that the systemic software issue is going to be fixed by downloading the latest version of said software. The company has two versions running around and our local IT folks have not gotten traction on this prior.

It's cool and awesome that every century or so we have to relearn the hard lessons about why we invented government because some dumb motherfuckers forget that the cornerstone of Civilization is a thousand boring little bureaucrats doing their job, not Great Men Being Violent.

recently I came to a realization about why "smart devices" are so shitty if you take an appliance that creates some sort of physical output, and connect it to a network, what you've actually done is invent a new kind of printer and printers are, of course, the devil's machines

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

I see we are painting vast swaths of America as "permanently bad" in every possible parameter and as such their complaints inherently invalid and couldn't possibly have a kernel of truth that we could empathize with and use as a entry point for changing their perspectives and/or votes. Swell.

I was sitting on one of the benches by the lap pool waiting for a lane to open up. Older lady: You can share the lane with me if you want. Me, honestly: Oh thank you, but I'm not that good yet. (I'm still all over the lane.) Older lady: Well, if you get any better while you sit there let me know!

The current US medical system is both not good for women that are primary caregivers, and obscenely expensive. You don't have to say "MAHA was right!🤡" They're not right. But you do have to offer a progressive alternative to the status quo. No one wants medical centrism. Schumer in scrubs.

Chart showing that 57% of Dem women that support MAHA, do so because of healthcare costs, vs only 3% because they are anti-vaxx.

I want to emphasize the "seen to be listening" part of this. The better part of me knows that people need to know that people in power understand their concerns. The worse parts of me know that you can show up, nod your head, hear nothing, and get very similar results for a limited period of time.
