IIRC there are only 2 states that don’t abide by Daylight Saving Time: Arizona & Hawaii

I was at a professional development conference offered by my union yesterday. 3/4 of the presenters I went to were using their management-owned accounts (and in one case, a management-owned device!). Now, none of the topics were about unionism–it was all how to be better at our jobs, but I couldn’t wrap my head around it… and they put up QR codes for us to access on our phones, and guess what? The links wouldn’t work for me because I refuse to put any work shit on my personal phone, so I wasn’t logged into my work account, and therefore didn’t have permission to view the document. I just could not believe that people were surprised…

I went to an Indian place once and asked the waiter to make my food spicy. It was kinda medium-spicy, and when the waiter asked if it was spicy enough, I–stupid white boy I am–said no. He took the dish back to the kitchen. He returned a little later with the chef. They both watched me take a bite and regret my decision. Through the tears, I told them the Spice was just right. They laughed.

I’m in my early 40s, and I’m more of a leftist today than I was when I was 18.

Man, the Bradys haven’t aged well.

I seriously doubt this is OC. You really built that cathedral? Puh-lease. /s (nice photo)

Chill. He’s wearing a medieval tunic.

It’s likely because the fixes all would impinge on the rights of his constituents–and by that I mean, the rights of his major corporate donors to make money.

I can’t say that I’ve followed this case closely, but I have never heard a reason why. Obviously, she’s sick, but how do you do something like this “just because”?

I’ll be right over!

Guess who’s coming to dinner…

Yes, Ulysses S. Grant was arrested for riding his horse recklessly through the streets of DC. He was arrested, fined, and released. This happened while he was president. However, since it was a minor incident in the grand scheme of things, it isn’t really a precedent to hang your hat on.

It’s never aliens, unfortunately.

Please do not tell my 10yo that this exists.

“We’ll just tell your mother we ate it.”

ITT: People legitimately trying to name it, people saying “I’m American and I know this is fake,” and people who get the joke trying to come up with a good name.

When I was at summer camp as a kid, we always referred to the water as either “milk water” or “carbonated water” because of that effect.

If it is that I’m planting an idea in people’s heads, then it’s that I’m their king. World peace is only minutes away! Climate change addressed immediately! Corporations stripped of their power in the face of new labor laws!

If I’m just communicating, then it would have to be something absurd, like “bite my shiny, metal ass.”

9 year old was raped by her brother and forced to carry the baby to term. Those interviewed blamed the brother’s access to porn, because clearly there’s nowhere else but porn to point fingers. FTFY even more.
