This isn’t surprising but this NYT piece is precisely what happens when you take conservative bad faith critiques of liberals and democrats at face value. “Don’t do the things that you weren’t doing but that people paid to hate democrats say you were doing.”

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

HAL IS FIVE. a true april fools-head, he pranks me regularly by scratching my hands and biting my legs. he is also very sweet, so things even out. thanks always to spicy cats (@spicylilcats on insta) for this v spicy little man.

Amazon's own internal studies identified the max number of repetitive motions warehouse workers can perform before the risk of injury skyrockets. Their productivity quotas exceed that number by 67%.

Buried in the ‘restoring truth and sanity to American history’ EO is the assertion that race is a ‘biological reality’. We know the politics that this version of ‘truth’ is intended to support. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

#Booksky Gonna say a few possibly unpopular words about my personal feelings on the #AmazonBoycott, not to mention the upcoming ones (40 days of No Target, etc.): do it. Discover other places to buy things, consume less cheapass crap you really don’t need, make Target bleed for its hypocrisy. 1/?

Either transgender Americans are important enough to warrant year after year of breathless coverage questioning their healthcare and existence, or they're so insignificant that destroying their rights is the "least consequential" action of a presidency. www.readtpa.com/p/not-exactl...
