One thing I really feel from these CEOs is that they're all essentially babies that can't do anything without a handler (personal assistant, they call it) and think that everyone else is equally as stupid and useless. They need people to tell them whether to sit or stand when going pee.

And I -

(Interviewer) I don't really believe that to be true.

(Huang) It's completely true. Janine will tell you and Lori will tell you.

One day I had to pump gas - it was a few years ago. They needed my ZIP code, and I panicked. I didn't know my ZIP code. I don't know my telephone number. I forget these things. I can live with it.

Yeah Céline was just trying to eat which is why he continued to spread nazi rhetoric beyond WW2.

From 1937 Céline wrote a series of antisemitic polemical works in which he advocated a military alliance with Nazi Germany. He continued to publicly espouse antisemitic views during the German occupation of France, and after the Allied landing in Normandy in 1944, he fled to Germany and then Denmark where he lived in exile. He was convicted of collaboration by a French court in 1951 but was pardoned by a military tribunal soon after. He returned to France where he resumed his careers as a doctor and author.

Céline is widely considered to be one of the greatest French novelists of the 20th century, and his novels have had an enduring influence on later authors.

This is how much you can make before you’re no longer eligible for getting Zohran’s fair fare 50% off on subway fare in nyc. Ridiculous. The max income for a household of 1 is less than it costs to rent a 1br apt. The max for a household of 2 is less than 1 worker’s min wage income.

You should read the article lol

Reporting from Washington, DC, Al Jazeera's Phil Lavelle said that while Vice President Harris and President Joe Biden had expressed support for a ceasefire, their administration is sending more military aid to Israel as it continues its bombardment of Gaza.

On Wednesday, when Harris was heckled during a rally in Michigan, she appeared to get frustrated after pro-Palestine protesters repeatedly interrupted her speech as they shouted, "Kamala, Kamala you can't hide, we won't vote for genocide."
Harris's response was blunt. "You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking."

In July, when Harris met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington, DC, the vice president had said that her commitment to Israel's existence and security was
"unwavering", but that she "will not be silent" in the face of the "tragedies" in Gaza.
Qatar, Egypt and the US have called on Israel and Hamas to resume talks on August 15 to reach a ceasefire.
At the same time, the US continues to send billions of dollars in military aid and weapons to Israel as the war in Gaza continues into its 10th month.

It seems like it would be obviously a good thing to expose gamified readers to thought-provoking work like The Stranger, which has stood the test of time, but I guess you first need to be capable of having a thought that could be provoked.

not to yuck anyones yum, but at no point did i care about this guy & reading this definitely was a waste of my time. i really need to evaluate my commitment to earning badges.

Centrists are such wretched boot lickers. Imagine thinking that this sounds democratic in the slightest. Yeah we all wanted the delegates to install the least popular candidate from the previous primary. That makes sense.

Yeah sure, 86 million people sat out the 2024 presidential election because there wasn’t a right wing enough option then, right?

Using data from the University of Florida Election Lab, a new analysis by the Environmental Voter Project shows that 85.9 million eligible voters skipped the
2024 general election, far surpassing the
76.8 million ballots cast for Donald Trump or the 74.3 million for Kamala Harris.
If "Did Not Vote" had been a presidential candidate, they would have beaten Donald Trump by 9.1 million votes, and they would have won 21 states, earning 265 electoral college votes to Trump's 175 and Harris's
98.
