Bombshell report alleges Stephen Miller is running the show at DOJ while Pam Bondi is playing the part ‘like an actor’
  • Eh. It's always been a part of discourse. If they instead said, "our view of the administration's workings don't even rise to the level of observing shadows projected on a cave wall, we are truly in the dark", I'm betting you would go right along with it, even though there are plenty of people that wouldn't get the reference.

    This just happens to be one you didn't know ... And now you do.

  • Demanding a pronoun is like demanding a burka.
  • Repurposing existing pronouns is the problem. Other languages have nice, gender neutral pronouns. We just need a nice new, singular gender neutral pronoun.

    Example...

    He/she/fai Him/her/hai

    Then make it standard to use the neutral version where gender doesn't matter. Telling a story about your teacher? Is it pertinent we need to know the gender? No? Then standardize on the neutral version.

    English has always been one of the most fluid languages. Why stop now? Just fix it.

  • Churches close their doors as fewer Americans attend
  • It didn't use to be. I remember most churches on the 80s had a message of, "try to be a good person" and then everyone would hang out and chat. Pretty chill space. Can't stand going to any churches now.

  • Trump Pentagon pick attacks UN and Nato and urges US to ignore Geneva conventions
  • I don't agree. The dnc opted to go with a strategy of, "we don't need to listen to the will of the voters, and we'll double down on doing the same gd thing we've always done, you either get on board, or bad-man wins!"

    People want change. DNC refused to make even the hint of willingness to change, it's no surprise they lost so many voters.

    This was entirely avoidable.

    My only hope is that the DNC will finally wake the fuck up and introduce an actual progressive platform. But shit, I said the same thing when Hillary tanked. So why would it be different now?

  • It's wild how many job listings might be fake
  • A similar thing happens at the company I just joined. It has a "move fast" culture. I push for new roles that are genuinely needed now. My boss "approves", but finance puts the brakes on for review. HR doesn't want me yelling at them, so they post the job to "get a jump on collecting resumes".

    If I lose the battle with finance, the job evaporates. If I win, we scoop up the resumes, and hire someone within a week.

  • While the US and EU are putting up barriers to Chinese cars, Australians are buying them at record levels
  • Holden was the only real one. And a few firms used to produce locally. Then the government didn't offer any subsidies to keep them on shore. They all shut down and left the country. Now everything is imported. Real shame. They were great pipelines of talent.
