Damn. And you know that’s an underestimate.
I told y’all MBA types would start demanding a return to the office despite it being demonstrably very much less productive.
This was just inevitable. If MBA types actually cared about productivity, they would’ve behaved much differently even before work from home.
Progressives need to embrace progress. Stasis won’t lead to a prosperous or equitable society.
Progressives are the new conservatives. And conservatives are now just fucking loonies.
Wasn’t Long Covid supposed to have ended civilization by now? I can swear I still see some civilization around here.
When people say landlords need to be abolished who are they supposed to be replaced with?
One of the most difficult parts of changing a system is that most often people literally cannot imagine how else it could possibly function. This can also be seen by all the confident pronouncements about how universal health care is “impossible” despite it working just fine in dozens and dozens of other countries.

Marisa Tomei has the best personality. Sure, she’s beautiful — but many Hollywood women are. But it’s her personality that really makes her shine, back then….
And more recently.
Interesting how she’s mellowed but is still just as sunny as she always was. Such a wonderful laugh. I like that Don Rickles says to her, “You have the happiest face I have ever met.” That’s a great compliment.
The first ten on today’s playlist:
I’m an American liberal, and I just surrendered on behalf of Zimbabwe to an inebriated chipmunk. How you like that, Zimbabwe, being controlled by an inebriated chipmunk? Bet you don’t like that much, huh?
Do these get hard at some point?
I should play in other languages.
