Had a phone interview today that ended with the interviewer saying "now let me throw you a curveball" and basically saying that I should've been taking notes the whole time and to send them over to her in client format by Monday
Fastest app withdrawal email I've ever drafted.
You literally DONT want consistently big refunds as a tax-filer because that means that you've had too much taken from your pay. The fact that people are getting less in refunds means that the IRS is operating MORE efficiently. Why do so many people not understand how taxes work?
Question for anyone who writes or watches TV:
What are some examples of GREAT characters who were introduced BEYOND the first season?
Could be a new love interest, rival, villain, arch nemesis, suspect, family member.
But their arrival CHANGED the entire show for the better.
Not about to go into a workplace that plays mind games and does shit like this, like??
You should've told me you wanted me taking notes during this. I've never had an interview where the expectation was me taking detailed notes the entire time. Be serious.
Real talk: how much of a fucking moron do you have to be to 1) have sex in a senate room 2) film yourself in the act and 3) put the vid ANYWHERE online
Just a total self-inflicted wound he can't recover from. His name's plastered EVERYWHERE and he'll never work in politics again
After being battered and abused by the industry and blacklisted after being sexually assaulted, Brendan Fraser finally got the highest honor he could in Hollywood. Brendan deserves this Oscar and he deserves an apology from so many. So fucking happy for him.
Thinking about the John McCain volunteer who pretended to be mugged by an Obama supporter but was so fucking stupid that she carved the B (for Barack) backwards while looking in the mirror
@PolicyNate
She wanted essentially an full summary of our mtg and what we discussed. Like just give me a normal writing assignment or TELL ME beforehand you wanted notes. I didn't feel like I needed notetaking because the description online was detailed and she had been asking ME a ton of qs
this very distinct wing of the left that basically acts as a self-righteous, holier-than-thou online fun police is just incredibly exhausting. I'm sick of this never-ending race to be the most socially conscious.
Are these people not exhausted?
A frankly insulting response to backlash. Don't hide behind sexuality & throw the entire LGBTQ+ community under the bus because you got caught & publicly shamed.
Take some responsibility, apologize, and resign as you reflect on your INCREDIBLY inappropriate conduct.
Embarrasing
Biden using the term "an illegal" is deeply, deeply upsetting. Sure he talked positively about Dreamers afterwards, but this rightward turn from so many in the Democratic Party in policy and rhetoric on immigration is so disheartening and shows a really awful and quick backslide.

Ive been here for about two hours more now and it's really hard to shake. A great deal of these tiles, although drawn by children, are just really really bad. Like was there any vetting when creating this exhibit?
The "cuz Israel" Starbucks boycott has become an easy litmus test for me to tell how politically informed someone is or frankly if they bother to do any basic research
It's just people virtue signaling against a company that has pretty much no consequential tie to the conflict
The quote tweets and replies to this are so sick and nasty I want to cry. Progress is reversing and I just feel so helpless at times watching it happen.
Most of you all (including myself) were too young to be able to fully experience American political discourse in the immediate aftermath of 9/11 and today has proven to me that you many of you all who think you're smart, who think you're these rational actors who would've seen…
remembering that the two Democratic Senators who pretty much singlehandedly watered down the Build Back Better Act into Inflation Reduction Act both aren't even running for reelection
sidenote: he's a major reason why I always believe in the policy of running strong candidates EVERYWHERE. The ACA would've been completely gutted if we hadn't had Doug Jones run in what seemed like a lost cause race. Every election matters and dynamics can change in an instant
Just made the heartbreaking connection that Ted Cruz has softened his stance on LGBTQ+ rights and been a bit vocal about it here probably because of his daughter being queer.
How is it that almost all of these GOP lawmakers can't have any empathy until it's personal? Maddening.
i just overheard these two guys at school talking about wanting to "eiffel tower" me and so i thiiiiiink they're surprising me with a trip to paris, you guys! omg!! 😁
BREAKING: Republican Kevin McCarthy has officially been ousted as Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
He becomes the first speaker in history to be voted out of the position, lasting only 269 days.
Decided I could either wallow in self-pity at this unsuccessful job hunt or be productive and work out this frustration...
I ended up doing both by doing an hour of cardio in the apt gym after a bath and a few glasses of whiskey 🫠
If people want to expect a big refund every single time they file their taxes, the government literally offers you the ability to do that by just having money taken away from your paycheck and given to you then. Just do that if that's your expectation, seriously.
This makes Dallas the largest city with a Republican mayor now, correct?
I always felt like if you switch party affiliations in office, it should auto-trigger a special election in like 3 months. Such bullshit.

@KaoticLeftist
Based on what I've seen of him, I'm not shocked in the slightest. He seems like a stand-up guy it was definitely just jarring seeing him EVERYWHERE when the writer's strike started 😭
The date is March 7th, 2024. We are watching Biden's SOTU. Biden is about to finish his speech when suddenly "Fight Song" begins to play.
A pantsuited figure emerges from behind him.
Can it be? It's... her.
"I'll take it from here, Joe" she whispers in his ear.
HILLARY 2024
Actually learned about something useful in class about why DeSantis is so terrible at marketing his Disney feud to voters! When people hear "Disney", most automatically attach positive, nostalgic feelings to it and will likely be against you. It's a hairtrigger.
However... (1/2)

sided with Disney over Florida and over our kids. I'm sorry, that is disqualifying. If you're going to bend the knee to every big corporation and not stand up and fight, then you're not going to get the job done.”
CALL: Nick Roberts will win the D4 seat on the Indianapolis City-County Council.
With 96.8% of the vote in, Roberts leads GOP opponent Natalie Goodwin by 6.2%. It's over.
A rising IN-Dems star, Roberts will be the youngest council member at age 22. Way to go,
@nickroberts317

Another vote dump and
@nickroberts317
