You are very small & slow & I am training my cats to eat you; Tina Belcher, but without the kind loving parents. Never gives up her dead. Pushing around the weathervane Jesus. “IT WAS BEANS!” “Is it about my cube?” No dress rehearsal. This is our life.
Yeah so we all just got tear gassed on the way out of Rocky Horror, be careful downtown
... and I think, "Why was my first instinct, when I was the victim of something completely inappropriate, to worry about how it made these boys feel?" It's so much a part of the daily calculus of being a woman. Managing not only the offense against you, but how it affects others there. It sucks.

How much Canadian content does he think gets produced? That isn't proprietary to other networks in this country? It would be great if Gem could open up the CBC's vaults for some of its old shows that had brief runs and vanished forever, but this particular complaint is entirely out of touch.
Why does CBC Gem keep buying American during a trade war?

Making people stand for extended periods is a popular torture technique among oppressive regimes, because it leaves no marks, and because it doesn't sound that bad? People that stand for 2 hours, imagine that standing for 4 hours is just twice as bad, and for 8 hours is twice as bad at that. No.
Taking people's chairs away doubles their heart disease risk.🤷🏿♂️ Yes, sitting too much causes health problems. But the solution isn't "Then always stand!🤡" Because human bodies are meant to move. Stand. Sit. Change positions. Move around.

There's been a lot of interest in the harmful effects of prolonged sitting at work, from academics and the public alike. The attention being paid to sitting – or rather, not sitting – while on the job...

"Medicaid work requirements" are above water with the American electorate (net +18). Calling the same policy "Medicaid eligibility cuts" meaningfully decreases support (net -11). I do not understand the insistence on adopting the framing of those trying to destroy Medicaid

Yes, please. Bury the infrastructure AND make it accessible. (I do not tolerate “but it’s cheaper” as an argument. Profit for rich people is the worst possible excuse for doing boneheaded things. Especially because this IS cheaper long-term. So don’t try it.) www.vox.com/future-perfe...
