Accurate

 

looking through my kindle highlights:

“A hundred years ago, many assumed that the steady advance of technology and labor-saving devices would have made this possible by now, and the irony is that they were probably right. We could easily all be putting in a twenty- or even fifteen-hour workweek. Yet for some reason, we as a society have collectively decided it’s better to have millions of human beings spending years of their lives pretending to type into spreadsheets or preparing mind maps for PR meetings than freeing them to knit sweaters, play with their dogs, start a garage band, experiment with new recipes, or sit in cafés arguing about politics, and gossiping about their friends’ complex polyamorous love affairs.”

“If nurses were to rebel against the fact that they have to spend the bulk of their shifts doing paperwork, they would have to rebel against their own union leaders, who are firmly allied with the Clintonite Democratic Party, whose core support comes from the hospital administrators responsible for imposing the paperwork on them to begin with. If teachers were to rebel they’d have to rebel against school administrators who are actually represented, in many cases, by the exact same union. If they protest too loudly, they will simply be told they have no choice but to accept bullshitization, because the only alternative is to surrender to the racist barbarians of the populist Right.”

 

What the hell

 

This event scared me for life. I’m still mad about it.

 

I miss VP Biden depicted in The Onion

 

There will be calls for all republicans to condemn this yah?

 

This is my brother and I, but any time someone in our family group text mentions how they miss Bush at this point.

It's wild the character has its own lengthy Wikipedia page (and the editor of The Onion kind of regrets the character now).

Joe Biden (The Onion) - Wikipedia

I know it's dumb that they're fixating on this salon thing but Pelosi shouldn't have done it. How could she be so stupid as to hand them this ammo on a silver platter.

 

This Pelosi story is gonna be the email server of 2020 isn't it

 

There should be a law where if the bodycam wasn't on, charges are dropped against the individual being arrested. Not that it helps police fucking murdering people
