HR Departments exist to prevent companies from being sued and/or suffering penalties from administrative agency action. They do not care about workers; they do not advance any kind of social benefits; their entire reason for being is to protect the interests of capital and nothing else.

Morris seems like a talented video ad guy who started sniffing his farts and thinking they were cherry scented. Typical domain expertise fallacy.

It's very funny to learn that the guy we chased out of DSA for picking bad candidates and running bad campaigns is responsible for Platner

You motherfuckers have Will Stancil posting about it now. The absurdity we’re gonna have to deal with now. The dumbest fucking posters on this dumb fucking site who hadn’t even heard of soccer until ten minutes ago gonna reverse polarize themselves into the most absurd soccer takes ever conceived of

Paraguay appears to be playing the soccer version of the War of the Triple Alliance.

Land Back for Indigenous African Polynesians

Josh Fartpiro, more and more people are saying it

The collective amnesia over Spear of The Nation is sorta funny given that there was a full on Hollywood Action Movie about it.

A one state solution is not that hard tbh. You sanction Israel for 5 years and the internal conflicts with the Haredim will do most of the work for you. That and the collapse of their economy.

"Soccer has too much variance determined by Refs and has too much flopping" will always be why it can't reach critical mass outside of the nations where it's already got a Stockhom Syndrome hold.

Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate

The fireworks thing sounds like it could accidentally blow up a building.

This is indeed why soccer will never be a major US sport.

Fun story: The Long Island Serial Killer was very bad at covering up his crimes! But the SCPD/AG Office was so corrupt and incompetent that both Tom Spota and James Burke were too busy committing multiple felonies with the protection of Dem County Chair Rick Schaffer to do any forensic work.

And if you fuckers will donate, we'll get @beth4ma.bsky.social too.

Morgan Housel has a good take on this in "The Psychology of Money" TLDR: the 50s were the last period of prosperity where inequality remained low. People liked that a lot. Of course there were plenty of caveats to that "equality".

Biden did nothing to address this Supreme Court. Now my opponent is offering us “no more” than his old boss. I will do more than talk about the attacks on our community. I will go after the institutions that make them possible. Chip in $20 today to make Congress twice as trans:

Time to pull all their funding

Toddler Request this Morning: "Daddy can you please put on the music?" "What music?" "I want Math Rock!". Parental Achievement Unlocked.

Alright, everyone *says* there's a big fundraising deadline but for @beth4ma.bsky.social, it's genuinely very important that we raise $10k in the next 24 hours. If we do, some cool-ass shit will happen.

Man those DSA primary wins has really sent that BeijingPalmer guy into an anti left spiral. Every other post is left punching now. Shame. I liked his stuff!

Capo Verde, the state which gave us Amilcar Cabral, has a chance to advance to the Knockout Round by crushing the soccer dreams of Saudi Arabia, the state that gave us Salafism. Oh, and this is Cape Verdes first ever World Cup!

"Monument Paris" elides the left and even Republicanism. Versailles is busy, whereas the Tennis Court is open once a week. The Bastille is some ruins, but Napoleon has a massive Tomb. The Pantheon is the only site that really celebrates Republicanism and leftism as part of Civic Nationalism

Celine Dion is gonna compete again right????

I see Stancil is crashing out over some alleged private pledge Z made not to primary Espaillat when Espaillat has not helped Z one bit and essentially reneged on his side of the deal. Z already nixed a Hakeem primary and endorsed Hochul. Is he supposed play nice with every machine scum bag?

Only a small fraction of European housing stock predates 1945. The average across the EU is just 22% of residential buildings built prewar - for comparison's sake, in the US the figure is around 13%. This is not a continent full of homes built in in the 14th century:

This is True Gospel

If you think tonight felt good, @senadorajulie.bsky.social is up against a do-nothing Senate Dem incumbent next week. If there's one race in the country I'd focus on for the next 7 days, it's that one. Throw her some support: www.julieforcolorado.com

Still remember telling someone that the left wouldn't be turfed out of the democratic coalition for saying "Genocide Joe" because Israel would comprehensively stay insane and break the consensus. Looks like I was also comprehensively right

BRING ON THE CRASHOUTS!

Every time I look at the laundry list of things that will need to be done post-2028 and the likely 2028 presidential primary field, AOC is the only person in the field I can visualize who would actually have a good chance of checking off that list.

Bye Bye Bichotte!

DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM TIME

RED WAVE RED WAVE RED WAVE

I always enjoy seeing Evan's work because I remember Evan playing house shows in DC for like 20 people and thinking "This person is great".

If Brad wins by 30 and DAC and Claire win I think we will see crashouts the likes of which you'd never imagine.

Hmmmm sounds like AOC to me

Marriage age and general agricultural productivity held to a robust inverse relationship for millennia. You couldnt get married until you had sufficient resources to not starve together. Birth rates were higher not because of marriage age, but due to a lack of Television. Sex=entertainment

Im somewhere between "Has a Favorite War" and "rock bands with dead members"

I told my son about the difference between the OKW and OKH during WW2 and why it led to poor command decisions by the Nazis. He's three.

Does that William B Fuckley account ever post "Here is a very left wing view I have" or is it always some kind of contrarian left punching? He's occasionally interesting, but he seems to just repeat the same grievances over and over

Napoleon: 70-75% good

He hasn’t tweeted today what happened

Hockney was one of the few artists who never missed. Just banger after banger.

That's why I think soccer will struggle to grow further in the US. The immigrant communities that have football traditions eventually assimilate and the middle class domestic core doesn't have a critical mass.

I like how Wemby managed to nuke all his good will by being Too French about everything.

Zohran's reelection likelihood just went from 65% to 80%

Just watched "The Searchers". Deeply overrated! Amazing direction from Ford, but a near nonsensical plot and leaden characters.
