This hairdresser knows the pain we designers feel when a movie has a street sign in 1890s London is in Arial.
Deidre Lynch@drbibliomane.bsky.social · yesterdayYou can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
The underlying belief that taxes "buy" things for each individual is one of capitalism's great lies.

what's next? my taxes paying for roads I may never drive on?

And vote in candidates who will hold Republicans accountable!
Ron Filipkowski@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 2d agoMost of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

[roadtrip to Boston, my wife looking for music to play] "Oh, a Shaboozey song! I don't know if I've ever heard Shaboozey!" 😘 @ruinista.bsky.social
The thing nobody appears to have reckoned with is how on earth it ever went back up again after he literally tried to overthrow the government Republicans worked very hard to rehabilitate one of history's vilest criminals, that is how
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.CNN: "The president's overall approval rating now stands at just 34%. That matches his career low following the January 6 insurrection."
By the way Mitch McConnell voted against paid leave many many times
It's so fucking crazy that we're doing this. Persecuting hundreds of thousands of people here living and working legally because we're captive to mindless racists
Employers Fear Labor Shortage as Many Immigrants Lose Protected Status

lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism

It is deeply shameful that this is what the president was doing the same weekend more American service members were dying in the war he started.
lol imagine being a spanish fan tonight staying up all night to party, flying back home tomorrow, and then having to go back into the office 2-3 weeks from now
Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.
Isn't it weird that this week a currently sitting president had to pay a woman MILLIONS of dollars for *raping* (and defaming) her—and the media has forgotten all about it? There was a time that this would have been the ONLY story—until the rapist was driving from office.
Has Argentina won any new fans in this Cup? Not counting the Messi nadwagon people, obvs. Least likable team ever.
If I were reffing this match, I'd give a card for every yellow-able foul right away. Let all eleven for both sides play with a yellow, the game will settle down quick. Not calling these fouls is also a form of officiating interference but it allows bullshit play to go on.
