“These narratives around young people in ‘starter jobs’ or doing sort of superfluous work, or just work to get them through, can often function to lower young people's bargaining power and reduce the power that they have in the workplace. Unions can obviously help with giving them back that power.”
This week's That's Marvelous newsletter contains pep talks for teachers and whatever makeup artist is responsible for making Donald Trump's "necrod bod" look alive.

The question on all of our minds right now. How dedicated are our business partners???
Happy Labor Day Thank a union!!
👏👏👏
😂
Wow!!!
Well I did it Hahaah.
I’m the wife and I approve this message
Thank YOU! (And also I was so sad to miss your show in Portland but I had to rush home after the Friday night show!)
Folks he did it
Hahah!
Considered it but unclear if that’s better or worse!
Tuck thank you!!!
True! Kind of a substantial outro which you can skip or not too!
I’m trying to decide whether doing “No Children” at karaoke while happily married is a fun goof of a way to terrify all our friends (or I guess both)???
🫡
Hahahaha fair!
Okay!
Rudy Giuliani just set a world record in the field of Statement That Invites More Questions Than It Answers.
Hi if anyone would like a pep talk in an upcoming That's Marvelous newsletter, let me know here! Also, I have had a lot of fun writing the newsletter lately! I'd love if you'd consider subscribing and even upgrading to paid if you've got a few extra bucks on hand! www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com

I shared some photos I've taken of the only good office Christmas parties: Tony Hawk's flaminghydra.com/tony-hawks-h...
Yeah, my brain has seriously been a little melted by the fact that "do something cool and then get attention for it" has been largely replaced as an ethos by "get as much attention as you can and then monetize that attention by any means necessary."
I honestly think that the independent TikTok/YouTube/newsletter economy presents some of the most perverse incentives imaginable for the people doing that work, and it either encourages them to be their worst selves and/or rewards people who get worse! Not everyone does that, but it's so lucrative!
Those willing, by contrast, to trade away the rights and dignity of transgender people or the poor cannot be considered friends of democracy any more than those who were willing to countenance second-class status for blacks and Jews.
You’re welcome!
🔥🔥🔥
Was that something I said?
You’ve gotta read better.
Ahh I’m sorry they’re spoken for! I’ll delete the original post!
I just directed someone to this merch this week!
I got to talk with @lataco.bsky.social's @eltragon.bsky.social about his tireless documentation of immigration raids in LA, and how his knowledge of the city's street food scene makes him a better immigration reporter
The simplest answer has always been that he just doesn’t care about his job or feel any obligation to be publicly accountable for doing it.
Lolol
Sure! I think that’s true!
Hahah this is kind of the opposite right? Hitting it by accident?
Legit agreed!
Okay but shanking a shot is different than whiffing!
LOVE this idea.
The crowd should be allowed to cheer really loudly at golf and tennis matches. You can go totally wild at a baseball game, and those hitters don't even make contact a lot of the time. I've never seen a pro miss a golf ball.
Thank you!
Hey thanks!
It's extremely unfair to speculate about Donald Trump's health just because he's elderly and can't form linear thoughts and has the diet of a first grader who won the lottery and his flesh has been changing color like autumn leaves.
I had a very nice time telling jokes tonight. That's all!
there is no question in my mind that rfk jr is the most dangerous person in this administration and that his eugenicist ideology threatens the lives of millions of people www.advocate.com/politics/dem...
just a reminder that we are on ghost, not substack; if you are looking for a newsletter to support that is women-owned and run and trying to do our best not to support evil empires you could do worse
Shes got muscle (the Watson Twins) protecting her!
I’m going next week in NYC!
Noooo! I really just want to unload these tickets!
Today marks one year since my debut comedy album “Husky Boy” was released. It’s my proudest professional accomplishment. It falls on the birthday of my friend Amy Daulton who passed away 10 years ago. That was not by accident. This will be an album and Amy thread in celebration
Hahahahaha you’re killing me!
Please everyone preorder please thank you lol www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/746817...
Teach the controversy I like it!!!
it was not hahah
Oh hell yeah.
I would love to read a heated anti-astronomy take though. Fuck the sky.
I wrote and told this joke before they changed the Cracker Barrel logo back, okay!??!

I love watching extremely talented comics make jokes on the very first day they thought them up because they are just slightly better than the best joke I've ever told in my entire life and it makes me feel like hope that maybe someday I could also be as funny as Josh. (I could not.)
hahah thank you!
lol dammit, weisberg
Thank you, Monica!
I love that this is how I learned that they're changing the logo back. (It's a good bit!)
OooOoooOoo!
Thank you!!
Hahahah
I legit can’t believe this joke became dated within the week.
Seriously, just check out this lineup! Thursday, September 5, Union Hall, Brooklyn, 10:00 pm.
Trenni hi! Of course I see this! I am sadly not going to be there, but I hope you have a wonderful time! It's such a beautiful venue, and the show is always so much fun live!
:(((
Hahahah thank you!

Things like this help me understand why people hold onto the idea of hell being real.
You're not wrong!!!
I miss Samanthing!
I almost referred to the Dr. Seuss book as "The Cat AND the Hat" like it had a "Sex and the City" type of vibe. "The hat is basically a character on its own."
Oh! That’s much clearer! Thanks for clarifying! I mean I don’t care what you think but I appreciate your taking notes.
What are you driving at bud?
I love learning secondhand that Tony Hawk is apparently a lovely man and a fun boss
“Smokeshow” is such a funny term because it’s super horny but not at all sensual. It’s like damn that lady is so hot she literally sublimated and is now gaseous.
This week’s That’s Marvelous contains one of my favorite comedy stories: The tale of the week I opened for the late, great Paul Mooney. Check it out and maybe subscribe: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/146-the-old-...
That...uhhh...is the joke part?

Here's a little excerpt from this week's That's Marvelous newsletter where I spent too much time thinking about the Cracker Barrel rebrand among other things. Read the whole thing here: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/146-the-old-...
You just know that Taylor Swift (the ultimate millennial) had to be physically restrained from captioning her engagement photos: "So...we did a thing..."
we’d love to turn off the machine that convinces children to kill themselves, but we can’t really justify losing our ability to lay off customer service agents, now can we?
For a story: looking to talk to Gen Z workers in different fields about how/if you’re pushing back against the “everything-is-an-emergency” approach to work. If you feel you can’t take this approach (because of your field, disproportionate pressure, etc) would also love to talk. Email/Signal in bio!
Joe Biden must be rolling in his grave right now.

Steve Martin is as close as I can get but he was still a few years older!
Right she’s not just lowkey private smoke.
