Our children will never know the feeling of hearing this album for the first time while loitering at Borders Books, audibly gasping when the “Close to Me” riff hits during the title track, and locking eyes with the cutie behind the counter who gives you an “I know, right?” look
That Stutz dude has got to be the worst therapist alive

Life is nothing but a series of ups, downs, lefts, rights, Bs, As, and starts. And now I have 30 of them.
it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy
Hard to imagine bigger loser shit than relitigating the “lockdowns” when there were no real lockdowns you just weren’t allowed to eat inside the burger king for a few weeks.
Wage theft is the biggest form of theft, accounting for more losses than all other forms of theft *combined*. So, in one sense it happens all the time. Business owners tend to be closer to power than employees, the cases don't get publicized, and employees aren't really told the rules.
Very sad to say that I was laid off yesterday along with a bunch of great @salon.com colleagues My time there was short and busy: I got to write about books and relationships and how much gen AI sucks and people being horny for Frankenstein’s monster Some of my faves are linked below

I love seeing hate for Haley spread nationwide. It’s like watching my favorite local band finally blow up
Howard Mortman@howardmortman.bsky.social · 2w ago"Cool kids on the Internet. They're doing the cool kid chatter. Some of 'em might be the coastal elites, making fun of how I talk. But let's be real. They're making fun of Michigan. They're thinking they're better than us. Their jokes, their criticism, only make me fight harder." -- Haley Stevens
I love when an insult like "Bloodless Quant" really lands and you can almost feel the reverberations in the psychosphere
I cold-smoked salmon for the first time so that’s a new power unloxed
They couldn't make The Sopranos today, because of woke up this morning

It was such a thrill to once again work with my dear friends Robert, Chris, Florence, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, Criss, Chris, Oprah, and Chris.
I was reading how Starbucks iced coffee was a rip off, adding way too much ICE and little coffee. And came across this story. 🤪 ICE agents made the mistake of walking into a Starbucks in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, expecting an ordinary coffee stop. They got this instead, watch video. Thank you NJ 💙
The "defund the police" cost Democrats countless elections claim always sits awkwardly with the fact that peak "defund" activism was 2020, the year that Democrats won their first federal governing trifecta since 2008.
