I’m thinking about performance reviews and how I am happy I’ll never have to give or receive one again It is COMPLETELY unnatural and such a horrible real-life indication of work performance There are entire corporations built around this annual review and that’s just wrong FIRST

The problem with this scenario is twofold. Providers WILL see the illegitimate insurance, may try to bill it even, it will be rejected. The accountants working for State or Fed will see commissions being paid. They will track that. It’s basic embezzlement and it never works, believe me

Now that Taylor Swift has a house in Cleveland (Bratenahl), I assume she will be recreating this lakeside Cramps show from July 4, 1978 which occurred less than a mile from her new digs.

I'm waiting to cross the street with my dog. You decide "to be nice" and stop in the middle of the cross street so that I can waddle my fat ass across while hoping my dog - actually an alien life form disguised as a dog, will quickly cross the street in some semblance of normalcy. Don't be nice.

I got in touch with a couple of former band mates I haven’t spoken with since about 1999. Starting to wonder if this was a mistake on my part They’re both fine people but I’d forgotten some quirks

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.

Kid Rock has always sucked, like forever. I think he saw himself as a right-wing Steve Earle but not even close, couldn’t hold a candle to him. In large part because he can’t create anything original We are a Kid Rock hater account now

Amateurs. "Dozens" of beef ribs is an order of magnitude less than you'd need to score for this to pay enough to be worth risking prison. This is a "you and your mates have some tasty barbecue before being nicked" level score, not a "one last job and we're out" score.

I JUST NOW found out, because of the Moth, about Fragile Rock the puppet Emo band. Am a fan of their vision Unrelated we made an all-puppet video of a song of ours in like 2004 and now I need to try and find it. We built little sets and everything, in my memory it was brilliant, but may be shit

My friend Carin Berkowitz was recently diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) & is now searching for a liver donor. If you are blood type O (+/-) & healthy, you could be a match. Please spread the word & help her beat liver cancer! givealiver.com #CancerSucks #skystorians #histsci #histSTM
Carin Berkowitz poses for a photo with her daughter Celia after running a marathon earlier this year. Carin is wearing orange sneakers, her race bib, and a purple lanyard reading "2026 marathon." She is carrying a bouquet of flowers. Celia is holding a poster with a large message ("GO MOMMY!") surrounded by several smaller 26.2s. Carin and Celia are standing in front of a tiled archway embedded in a wall with a mural. (I'm not sure of the precise location...)
