It’s simple: catfish your boss’s wife. Suddenly, she’s distant; he needs a confidence boost. Suggest improv classes, it’s a great way to get out of your head. Encourage him for months, then attend his first showcase. Wait until he’s onstage, then jump up and ask him for a raise. What’s he gonna say?

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

Actually okay if I were a billionaire I would definitely pay for skilled artists and bookbinders to do this with at least one huge wall-sized bookcase.

The Washington Post’s consistent position has been “we have no idea what’s in the Epstein Files and that’s fine” (even before the 25 purges) and for the paper that brought us Deep Throat and COINTELPRO that’s very strange and sad.
