Oh wow, I ... may have done that 😬

@georgetakei

I will never forget the massive pay disparity that was publicized between David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson for the X-Files reboot. That was fucking offensive given that X-files wouldn't be X-files without Scully. I see it's still happening...

@georgetakei

This is toddler-level "don't touch the lava!" shit which isn't cute at all.

@georgetakei

I cannot un-imagine all the GREASE....

@georgetakei

"Manly"?

Will covering it in velcro and re-labeling as "tactical ice cream" satisfy the pathetic Jesse Watters?

When I take over my company, I shall designate non-matchin socks and sweatpants as official business attire.

*We've seen it before in the 2016 election and Brexit.

This time, we SHOULD NOT PAY ATTENTION TO POLLS and just vote in local, primary, midterm, presidential, etc. elections.

The actual stat from PRRI if people are curious (I'm pasting paragraphs in facts-of-interest order):

"About 20% of Americans are Gen Z, according to PRRI."

"Researchers surveyed more than 6,600 people ages 13 to over 65, with oversamples of Gen Z adults and teens between August 21 to September 15, 2023."

"...28%, of Gen Z adults in the United States identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer..."

"...21% identified their party affiliation as Republican..."

And it really was not long ago that people could not marry because their skin melanin content differed from each other.

With the way internet is moving, sometimes it feels like "history" is synonymous with "ancient history" 😅

@BlackAzizAnansi

An ex-boss would make one team member cry every other day and was buddies with two other toxic teammates who also bullied him and previous teammates (who quit before I was hired--I didn't know any of this history). There was screaming and shouting (like "holy shit should we call security?" kind of fighting) and ex-boss would just close her door instead of doing something about it. She tried to frame the one Black team member for something and he eventually quit.

I took copious notes and kept every chat and email containing or reporting inappropriate behavior and reported her ass and other toxic teammates to HR. I even surreptitiously recorded conversations (state law allows this). Because of the field I was in at the time, HR and legal had to get involved. Four people were fired, so at least something good came out of that stupid experience.

If someone buys it and dies in it, I will laugh. 🤷🏻♀️

I'm old enough to remember Dahmer.

Something like "Any particular recommended reading about this topic?" or something more positive that doesn't come off as a "I don't believe you" thing, perhaps

"I'm tired of hearing how looking down on people for supporting Trump makes them resentful and just forces them to support Trump even more. A shaky argument in 2016, even more hollow in 2020, and ridiculous in 2024. People who support Trump now know what he's selling and want it."
