if you've been searching for a job for months on end and are starting to wonder what's wrong with you, stop it. nothing is wrong with you. this is just an insane job market full of wildly qualified people competing for the same handful of jobs, all of which are going to the hiring manager's cousin

This is my friend Andy. 6 months ago he was diagnosed with prostate cancer and given 4 months to live. Today's ultrasound showed zero tumor growth and he's doing great. He's a fighter. GO ANDY!

Watching Devil Wears Prada at 39 is realizing that Nate WAS right. That grilled cheese cost EIGHT DOLLARS which would probably be $350 when taking 2026 inflation into consideration. Miranda is a nightmare. And Andrea fundamentally changed who she was for a job and that’s just not healthy.

IDK fam... I just feel like if the Girl Scouts have figured out how to make a profit off of a $6 box of cookies, the Boy Scouts could consider exploring other price points?

AF Media @iamthirtyaf.bsky.social · 12/10/2026

And, like, cool, but that means the other 30% is still $6 per bag of popcorn... A $6 profit seems like a LOT for a bag of popped popcorn, esPECially considering they're utilizing free child labor in the name of fundraising?

I did some brief reddit research and people were very defensive about it saying that the company that supplies the popcorn is very generous because they allow the Boy Scouts to keep 70% of the sale price.

I bought my bag of popcorn, no "keep the change" because there literally was none, and carried on with my day. And again, I get that this purchase was not about the popcorn, I was prepared to give $20 to these kids and that's what I did and it's fine. But WHAT is this business model?!

Well imagine my surprise when I asked how much one bag of popcorn costs... "Twenty dollars," replied the child laborer. Twenty Dollars. $20. Twenty Dollars. For a bag of popped popcorn. And not even that big of a bag? Twenty Dollars.

When I finished shopping, I marched outside with my $20 in hand ready to buy a bag of popcorn for what I was assuming would be like $4 and then, being the generous human that I am, tell them to keep the change. Surely they'll be blown away by the generosity of me, community member MVP.

I was walking into my local grocery store recently and saw that there were Boy Scouts out front selling popcorn. I made a mental note to get a $20 bill cash back from self checkout.

I will preface this rant by saying that I OF COURSE understand that when you're buying from a fundraiser, it's not about the popcorn or the cookies. You're not buying the product, you're supporting the cause, and I am always here for that, especially when kids are involved. That said…

nothing short of 🤯 how much has changed since we were kids in terms of what being in your 50s looked like in the 90s vs today. How all five Spice Girls look the same as they did when we were rocking out to Wannabe in 1996 (THIRTY YEARS AGO???!?!?!?! WHERE THE F HAS THE TIME GONE?) is insane.

PSA for employers in 2025: Don’t Mind The Gap If the candidate has background experience that qualifies them for the role and their interview ticks the boxes of who you want in this position, the fact that they didn’t work for 8 months 5 years ago is equal parts irrelevant and none of ur business

Millennials love saying that something lives rent free in their head as if it is a bad thing but really just the concept of not having to pay anything for rent is frankly quite titillating so we just keep saying it to keep the vibes right despite everything being an absolute fkn nightmare lolz
