I am a high school English teacher and I'm thrilled that someone is going to adopt this handsome guy

but if there had been no takers I would have driven a truck to DC to get him and then hung him in my tiny classroom and changed my curricula to include only hammerhead-shark related literature

It's fascinating to me that all of these headlines are in the present tense except for Douthat's

Just straight up Droopy Dogging that "the workplace" is ruined, gone forever, RIP workplace, damn you, you ruinous women

oh god, of course every academic in this country has to use a VPN for their work because every university department in this country somehow runs itself off a shared drive folder called admin/ADMIN/humanities/CURRENT_humanities/history/HISTORY_ALL/admin

Starbucks apologizes for its bear cup drama. What's behind the 'Bearista' frenzy? | CBC News Coffee chain StarbucksΒ released a $43.95 "Bearista" glass cold cup Thursday as part of its new holiday collection, and not only did the hat-topped tumbler sell out almost immediately, but videos circu...

I honestly didn't know if Starbucks manufactured this drama on the eve of a potential barrista strike in order to get customers to yell at their staff

or if they genuinely just couldn't have predicted that their customer base would be this insane over a cup

Flaws and glitches are minor concerns easily dismissed. Being β€œmid” is fine because someone can promise this will get less mid and plenty of people are willing to believe. GenAI isn’t mid. It’s linear algebraic sociopathy.

Performative decency is actually *so* important for this reason.

It tricks the 10% of ghouls into thinking that there are only 1% of ghouls.

And it makes the 30% of people that don't care one way or another follow the mostly decent crowd

Doug Ford’s government is abandoning climate targets | The Narwhal Ontario is moving to repeal aspects of a law that require the government to create a climate plan and greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets

Upon taking office, the Doug Ford gov't introduced a law to cut the "carbon tax" which also obliged the government to create a climate plan & emissions targets. Now, they’ve repealed that dutyβ€”Ontario’s government no longer has to consider climate action.

I’m a teacher. My husband is a nurse. Deep under all of this β€œanti-woke” posturing is an idea that these β€œfeminine” jobs are just extensions of some primal mothering instinct, and not careers to be taken seriously. Women only ruin offices and corporations! 2/

I just listened to his dumb podcast.

Something extra insidious about this garbage is that it demonstrates that these people don’t view where people do jobs that they would classify as β€œfeminine” as actual β€œworkplaces.” 1/

The media’s normalisation of evil really irks me. This tulip meets every definition for a Neo-Nazi - at the very least he should be described as a fascist, or far right. β€˜White nationalist’ ignores his antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, anti-miscegenation & Holocaust denial.
