Iām glad itās not just me guy. I would just like a break in any kinda way sheesh.
Anyone else just out here in America living and thinking Iām straight up not having a good time with any of this and maybe itās not supposed to be like this? Because I am tired yāall. Fucking tireddddd.
I was more optimistic in the past 24 hours than I had been in the past year. One day yāall. Itāll happen one day.
Maybe she should visit a graveyard so she can be reminded that everyone and everything diesā¦including her career. Could not have happened to a more deserving lady. Bless her heart.
Starbucks CEO pay: $96 MILLION Starbucks worker pay: $15,000 Coca-Cola CEO pay: $28 MILLION Coca-Cola worker pay: $14,000 CEOs used to make like 20x the average worker. In 2024, the average CEO earned 632x more. The system is rigged.
It truly is the little things like this that unite us all.
Iām done making dinner for my kids. They gorge on snacks before dinner so they can not be hungry when itās done and then as soon as itās cleaned up theyāre back in the kitchen eating some other snacks shit. Why bother? Iām ready to dump I box of cereal on the floor for them and call it a day.
As I leave the Meet the Teacher Night, I am just so glad that my youngest is going into 7th grade this year. I do not have the patience and willpower to deal with the schools anymore. If I had to start with a kid in pre-K now, in the year of our lord 2025, I wouldnāt make it guys. Or they wouldnāt.
Donāt rain on my parade just yet! My MIL is freaking out about this and I need it to last just a little bit longer. The woman watches 10-12 hours of Fox News every day and needs a break but it *will not* happen willingly. I NEED this.
Iām obsessed with them. I want nothing but good things for them. I feel like they deserve this but we also collectively deserve this. Fuck yes. Anddd just in time for football season to kick off? Once again, Taylor Swiftās (and I suppose Travis Kelceās) timing is unmatched.
Yeah, in Detroit I worked with a bunch of people that crossed the Ambassador Bridge daily for workā¦.doesnāt mean theyāre spending any tourism money here. Stay strong Canada! Keep up the fight!
Wow. And theyāre wondering why Democratic voters that are relying on their party to save us from this fucking nightmare are running around saying āweāre cookedā. Look, talk to *people* not *consultants*. The public/voters will tell you what they need from you. Fuck these suits. JFC. š¤¦āāļø
Youāre šÆ correct. As someone with multiple MAGA ppl in my orbit, perception is everything. And how they think it *looks*, *feels*, and *is*, is all that matters.
How very Soviet Union of Trumpā¦ for how much the GOP and MAGA scream, cry, and fear āsocialismā, they sure are rolling out the red carpet for communism. (Pun intended - Iām no coward.)
Soā¦they should be able to release all the files to corroborate her testimony, right? Because surely the evidence collected back then would match what was hastily obtained now, right? I mean, right?
Iām sorryā¦ āstartingā?
Capitalism, the stock market, profit margins, and overall greed has just gone off the rails. Reagan began the U.S.ās shift from a manufacturing economy to an investment economy and it was off to the races.
The hypocrisy is truly next level. I feel like Iām going crazy every day. Wandering around like āAre you seeing this? This is nuts, right? How is this allowed to happen in America? Why is no one stopping this? Hello? Anyone?ā And it really feels like everyone is just shrugging their shoulders.
These other moms are about to find out I did not sign my son up for football so that I could make new friends. I brought my AirPods and a book with me for a reason.
The Reaper really needs to just enter the chat and do the funniest thing.
Oof. It looks like all this lying for the President is getting to Ingraham. Sheās looking rough. Or is it just bad lighting? Bad makeup? Maybe itās just her generally hateful demeanor thatās making her age like a fine milk?
Did they include the best part, which is āAccording to women, 100% of their doctors do not care. They simply recommend to get more sleep, to have less stress, and to lose some weightā?
The market really is completely detached from the actual economy isnāt it? āCause if you go out and talk to people the optimism wouldnāt be there whether they cut the rates next month or notā¦
I came home from my first weekend trip to NYC and the thing I talked about the most was walking to an amazing halal cart around the corner from my hotel at 11:30p for some of the best food. No joke - I would go back for that reason alone.
Holy cow. āLeningradā really stands out here. When is the last time anyone has heard that name? I mean, besides nerds like me that read books on the Russian Revolution for fun. We all know Trump doesnāt read so dementia is probably a pretty good bet.
Again, Iām not going to fight with you. Just look up who requested the Supreme Court review the case - youāll see exactly who she is and what party she belongs to. I didnāt blindly come to the conclusion my guy. Iām done here.
Iām not the one to lecture. My oldest child is trans. āGender affirming careā for them consisted of using their preferred name & pronouns at office visits and making sure they had the right group of doctors to support their physical & mental health. That was it. Now theyāre grown and on their own.
Heās probably referencing the Supreme Court being asked to overturn Obergefell - a move also pushed by MAGA āChristiansā. Being worried about that doesnāt make him ālying trashā. If you want to pick a fight, find another thread guy.
Spoken like someone who knows nothing about what gender affirming care entails when it comes to minors. When working with professionals, it is actually a very intensive process thatās handled with extreme care and consideration. Surgery isnāt even a thing until the patient is an adult.
I think ppl underestimate the contrarian element to all this. A lot of Christians enjoy being in the out-group. They need the perceived persecution. If they end up making it too mainstream and āpopularā to be a Christian, some of the appeal will wear off.
So it all about āparentās rights above allā but not when itās something they/MAGA/fake Christians donāt agree with. Got it.
Bingo! They would more than likely send Dem reps and Senators to Congress.
Tariffs are not "creating wealth". They impose higher costs to U.S. consumers. The money comes out of your wallet. There is no directive on how the Government "tariff income" is actually used. Tax breaks for the rich will not improve the lives of middle-class America.
I think itās worse than all of us imagined. I thought Congress and the Press wouldāve put up more of a fight if/when a President starts behaving like this. I *never* thought everyone would just let him do all of this. Never.
I canāt wait for someone else to get in there and undo all of this cheap, tacky shit. Pop all of it of the walls and have a giant bonfire on the WH lawn. Just throw everything Trumpās tiny little hands touched while he was there.
āOld Guardā legacy Dems do not know when to quit. Zero self-awareness. Totally pathetic smh.
Well Cuomo, Iām pretty sure NYC voters remember you. They gave you an āLā once; I bet theyāll do it again. So, maybe *you* should ready yourself for round two bro.
Hell. Yes. I actually bought us tickets to one in two weeks :)
Heās such an attention whore. He was ridiculed on South Park and that probably made him rock hard. Ewww.
So now they should just be able to release the files to corroborate her claim then. Easy peasy.
ā¦not me as Iām currently into Season 7 of my 4th rewatch of Game of Thrones as we speak. Iām fine. Everything is fineeeee.
Wow. If only someone else in history did something like this? Maybe we can reference it to see how that went ultimately? If I was heading up the Olympics, I would see this and change locations. Like, *now*. Trump canāt just outwardly play Hitler, right guys? I mean, right?
The podcast Iām listening to has Chuck Todd on. I havenāt heard from him in a long while. I havenāt missed his presence. He still sucks.
I fucking hate the Fortnite sweats. Itās genuinely made it not-fun to play anymore. I couldnāt even get through the pass this time.
Ok, Iāll bite. If their DNA was altered, whoās to say that there werenāt genetic incompatibilities making pregnancy difficult to achieve? Because once they were successful, the baby has crazy superpowers not even fully explained yet. Maybe it shouldnāt have been possible at allā¦
I feel this. During the school year itās not so bad but in summer? I am the entertainment concierge. Theyāve all forgotten how to entertain themselves. If I donāt book up the whole day, I need to hear āIām boredā nonstop. I canāt win.
I do this too and itās an amazing value. Support PBS. Theyāre the good guys.
Man, what a fucking shitty year itās been. And itās only August.
Fallon is milquetoast comedy. He avoids all conflict/controversy by playing nice with everyone. Like, read a fucking room guy. This is not the time. Hard pass.
Hell. Yes. More of this energy please. I want to see this everywhere. #fucktrump #fuckthegop #wethepeople
Itās weird that some people truly donāt seem to understand that having kids comes with the responsibility to make sure they grow into competent and capable adults. Thatās literally *the* job.
Is Harvard actually considering settling with Trump? Idk, maybe itās just me but I think if youāre willing to settle with the Grifter-In-Chief for $500m rather than spend up to $500m fighting his bullshit in court, youāre complicit in the downfall of America.
There is no point. The conspiracy theorists want the files released. If she testifies that Trump is completely clean in all of it, they wonāt care. Theyāll say āBased on her testimony, they shouldnāt have a problem releasing the files. Release the files.ā They canāt win w/o releasing all the files.
Yes and big gigantic companies can afford to make less - to keep things affordable and even pay their workers properly. But instead we hear, āwe have to stay competitiveā while also hearing āCompany A posted $19 billion in profit this year.ā America is a scam.
Trixie, Katya, and Brittany are gonna get me through this work night.
Slotkin has been a huge disappointment to our state. Sheās presenting herself as a centrist but, despite the āDā following her name, sheās behaving like an old school conservative. Not what I was signing up for when I voted for her.
Massive success! The 12yo liked Superman better and the 10yo liked Fantastic 4 better. They can never agree though so Iām not surprised. I liked both; Iām def liking the direction the superhero movies are going right now :)
Iām sooo excited to hear this. Iām taking the fam today :)
My job makes me so unhappy. Fuck capitalism. Iām a millennial so I know Iām not gonna be able to retire. Itās so depressing knowing Iāll probably die still working this fucking line.
I finally finished The Handmaidās Tale. I really wasnāt happy with the last two episodes. Not sure what I was hoping for but that wasnāt it. I wonder why so many shows have a disappointing ending.
Mehdi Hasan deserves a medal for sitting through that Jubilee mess. His patience level is unreal. I. Could. Never. And holy shit the facts he threw out? Youād have to be insane to think you could go up against him armed with nothing but a mix of hopes, dreams, arrogance, and ignorance. DAMN.
Wtf? His party specializes in political games. This is insane. I mean, good on Dems for forcing him to expose his āTrump or Dieā motivation. And it doesnāt change the fact that ppl are going to keep on Epstein. I mean, cmon.
More fucking email talk? There was an investigation *years ago*. The information was released. And the woman has been out of politics/elected office for a decade. Let it go. JFC. And theyāre delusional if they think this will make ppl stop talking about Epstein.
So, now that Iāve made it to season 6 of The Handmaidās Tale, Iāve realized I picked the worst possible moment on the timeline to binge this series.
Well, I disagree. Iām not spending my Saturday arguing with a rando. āš»
What do you expect ppl to say to you? In this environment, ppl are losing jobs every day because of the actions of this administration. You have a right to be angry but direct that anger appropriately. This Colbert thing is bigger than celebrity. Itās about silencing dissent. Expand your view.
She and her ancient colleagues on the Hill are a distraction to fucking progress. Thatās a bigger problem.
Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.
Same! Just now. Fuck them indeed.
Well thatās that. Buh-bye Paramount.
Well, time to cancel Paramount+ I guess because fuck this.
The ads on Hulu have become so aggressive. Iām now keeping a mental list of the companies I see so I do not buy anything from them. Itās ridiculous. I think this series is the last Iāll watch on that platform.
I wish we could lease but our round trip to work is 132 miles, 5-6 days a week, all year. We drive too much :(
It also limits the vehicles to ones ānew and assembled in the United Statesā. Most vehicles built here are trucks and larger SUVs (translation - $$$). Who can afford 75-85k on a vehicle? I mean, not me thats for sure. It pisses me off so much - claiming this as a victory for the working class.
Omg I just read the qualifiers for the car loan interest write-off thing. *A lot* of people wonāt qualify for it because their vehicles purchased wonāt meet the criteria they set up. And I saw that they added a yearly fee for EVs and hybrids *on top of* eliminating the credits for buying one. Super.
I actually stopped getting Botox for the time being. Why bother? Iām just gonna flaunt the WTF-forehead-eyebrow lines. I earned them; I might as well show them off *while* saving money ahead of the coming recession.
Heās literally an alien like from space. And what was that act called that Trump invoked? The Alien Enemies Act? Yeah, this isnāt a hive-mind cult at all. Theyāre all a bunch of free thinkers connecting dots all by themselves. JFC with these people.
They really have no idea what real Medicaid subscribers look like do they? Would it be wrong to look at any actual data before broadcasting your ignorant assumptions to everyone? Idk.
Is she honestly saying that the āable-bodied adultsā on Medicaid are going to be sent to the farms to replace deported farm workers? I mean, I know sheās saying that but my brain canāt square an U.S. official just proclaiming that the public in the year 2025. There is so much wrong with it all.
Iām trying to watch the Handmaidās Tale. Trying. It may be too much given the state of, ya know, everything.
I hope youāre wrong. However, I pay attention to the news enough to know that it is entirely possible that this will happen in America. It makes me so incredibly sad and angry - all of it - every day.
This is what the press should be doing - exposing the public to whatās actually going on. More of this please! Maybe the other news orgs will follow your lead. Hopefully, anyway. šš»
She has two associates degrees, works two jobs, and was planning on transferring to a university to finish her bachelorās degree this fall. Now, sheās putting it off because of the fuckery at the Dept. Of Education. and the changes to govt. loan terms. Covid fucked her HS experience and now this :/
Well, when you figure Trump has held the stage for the last 10+ years, how do you expect people to feel? My daughter is 20yo. Since she was 10yo, that asshole and the GOP have been fucking with things. Now that she is able to vote, heās back & behaving more lawlessly than ever. How should she feel?
Time to pick your apocalypse persona, hereās mine
Getting dragged to a #FourthofJuly barbecue despite telling everyone I didnāt want to attend any parties this yearā¦at my MAGA in-laws. So, everyone pray for my husband because itās going to be a very long day for him.
I swear to fucking godā¦.there are so many Hitler/Nazi documentaries. I challenge people to watch any one they choose and *not* see the parallels in this MAGA mess. Itās so blatant that I cannot for the life of me understand why mainstream press isnāt screaming about this every single day.
When I started the job Iām at now, there was a 8-month period (after I became full-time) before insurance was available to me. I was on Medicaid (I was pregnant) and so were my children during that time. It was a lifesaver during that gap. This is gonna be bad for a lot of people.
I am so tired of the Dem leadership right now. Schumer and Jeffries aināt it. Theyāre the minority, true, but strongly-worded letters and speeches before Congress arenāt going to sway the public to come to the blue team. Maybe, idk, get out into real life and meet real people and talk *to* them?
The ADP report that only tracks private payrolls added noted a 33,000 job loss - itās broken down by sector if youāre interested. Just google it.
Nothing. I refuse to participate in any celebration for the #FourthofJuly. I just donāt have it in me to put on a smiling face and hope to god no one brings up politics. My patience is just nonexistent right now.
If only a good candidate could be found. I live in her district. Huge MAGA population in all of those counties. Iād have a hard time believing theyād oust her. However, I would absolutely love to be proven wrong.
Ever have a doc so dismissive of your concerns that an appt with them causes you so much anxiety you canāt sleep the night before? Me too! Now, Iām in the waiting room and fight-or-flight is in overdrive. Happy Tuesday everybody.
You know, SCOTUS releasing these horrendous rulings right before the 4th of July is exceptionally on brand. I donāt about you but I donāt feel like thereās much to celebrate.These MAGA/GOP fucks are wiping their asses with our flag and destroying everything our country was supposed to stand for.
I canāt wait for my Strict Scrutiny girlies to break down exactly how awful this SCOTUS shit is for me. I know itās bad but Iām just a legal fan; I am no expert. I need their expertise and their humor so I donāt doom spiral while Iām learning.
Iām at the point in my life where I want to make zero plans. Ever. My track record for āI donāt want to goā on the day of said plans is at a 98%. But my husband is a ppl pleaser so he wonāt cancel and my mood will be ruined for the following 24-48 hours. The whole thing is just no longer worth it.
2025 just keeps bringing the hits guys. I honestly donāt know how much more winning I can handle.
I canāt say that I blame you. Our country is a mess and I donāt see it cleaning itself up for a good long while :/
After 5 weeks of post-op recovery and my mental health being all the way in the gutter, I have finally managed to finish dyeing my hair. Happy itās finally done. Back to work Tuesday. Hopefully, things have turned a corner.
