@em_Lazzy Legit point. And they're not *afraid* of investing in - say, infrastructure - to actually *benefit* average citizens 😉

If you wonder how China can afford this, ask yourself when the last time was they started a war in another country unlike United States that wastes money on wars with every other country

kim kardashian failing the bar exam so many times that she gives up on being a lawyer is making me realize the american bar association might just be one of like three remaining institutions in the us that won't just roll over and give the exorbitantly wealthy whatever they want

@jowrotethis The upside: when things *do* work ... it's a pleasant surprise.

Anyone else feel a general uptick in everything just NOT WORKING.

@Naterian @jowrotethis 🎯

@jowrotethis Absolutely. We're in the end stages of the empire. Everything is just designed to extract value, not provide it. Enshitification is real

Feel like the Bible is quite explicit on this one

Speaker Johnson: “You have to trust the President’s instincts.” No, Mike, we don’t.

@RaminNasibov LoL! Every meeting *ever*!

Me: This movie is garbage. Boss: Again, this is a Zoom meeting.

@luvblessingz That asshole *knows* we all paid into it, and that it is *not* an "entitlement". Fucking ghoul.

If they cut Social Security, I want every single penny they have taken from my paychecks since the very first day I ever started working.

@Rainmaker1973 LoL!

Low budget Alien

@ick_real Are you kidding? It's a blessing. I was fortunate to work for many years with a group of super smart people. I learned a lot - and knowing how smart (and yet still fallible) they were, I enjoyed occaisionally holding my own amongst them - and teaching *them* a thing or 2 😉

How do you deal with a person smarter than you?

@Kristinartz For administrative stuff, and doing homework - I got a lot done there (super convenient)

My husband says I'm remembering it wrong. But I swear back in High School we had a class called "HOME ROOM" Where they checked attendance just to make sure you showed up. Anyone else remember

@PaulNoth Congratulations! Added to my personal "holiday wish list" ;-)

It’s finally happening! My first cartoon collection is available for pre-order. Over 200 cartoons, including 50+ never-before-seen masterpieces. Link⬇️

@parametricarch In my teens my father - a commercial artist in the sign industry - had a table-top drafting table at home. He allowed me to use it (as long as I left it clean, after). I used it to create hand-drawn circuit diagrams for DIY electronics, a few which I still have today 🔥🔥🔥

📐 Architect’s Drawing Table – 1930s by Nestler, Germany Before screens, there were tables like this, built for architects who designed by hand, line by line. This vintage drafting table features a high-quality cast iron frame, adjustable height, a tiltable drawing surface, integrated storage for rulers, a drawer, and a built-in lamp designed to support long hours of precision work. A beautiful reminder of an era when architecture began with graphite, patience, and craftsmanship. 💬 Could you work on a table like this today? 🎥 mid_century_friends #parametricarchitecture #designhistory #architecturaltools #vintagedesign #draftingtable

@marlene4719 Shame on Trump's Republican sycophants enablers for creating the toxic environment that allowed this.

When a president of the United States calls a black woman journalist a bitch, silence is not an option. Shame on her cowardly coworkers.

@Bunny_ngl Oh - and while we're on the topic, fuck Jack Ma, the co-founder and former chairman of Alibaba Group, for openly advocating the '9-9-6' working hour system 😡

i used to think “9 to 5” means a job from 9am to 5pm
