How does this situation keep getting worse?
The first few seconds gave me flashbacks to running a poetry open mic and someone trying in public to figure out how rhythm works, but if this is the entire book that is impossible to maintain.

Finishing up my first semester in the paralegal program, and the professors in both of my intro classes ended with a long talk about mental health resources and sobriety programs for lawyers and other legal professionals.

Central Austin Starbucks participating in nationwide strike The "Red Cup Rebellion" comes almost five months after the location on 45th Street and Lamar Boulevard became the first Starbucks location in Texas to unionize.

Let's do this, Austin! Support Starbucks workers and join the picket line. Break out your best protest costume.

Dear Dem candidates,

Don't tell working class people to eat cake. If their anger is misguided or comes from your opponent's misinformation, address it. Don't whine about your opponent's tactics; if it's illegal, report it, otherwise take responsibility for earning votes.

I'm so fucking tired.

Wrapping up my first semester at of going back to college as a middle aged lady, and I am fascinated and horrified by how easy it is to spot the Chat GPT slop other students submit. I can even tell that someone tried to mix up the prompt a little, and has no idea how weird the slop it returned is.

Watching the constant spread of the surveillance state is so fucking exhausting. I hope there is, or will be soon, a robust resistance movement against it in Canada.

I want to shove this story under the nose of every person who has said things along the lines of "people need to do it 'right' and follow the law if they want to stay here."

This makes me so angry.

This is good advice for anywhere that has had a leftist/progressive win.

People want change enough to vote for change, but their engagement with government is vital to those changes. And most people don't know how to do that.

The election is over, now the real work for change starts.

Way too much leftist discourse is polarized into denunciations vs defenses of Zohran

A more useful & important debate is how to organize enough New Yorkers to win Zohran's agenda β€” and to counteract the inevitable pressures on him from capital and the political establishment

We cycle through services, because they're so expensive without ads (like you, we refuse to pay to for ads). The bloat is so ridiculous.

I was just looking at restarting Netflix, for the first time in a few years, for some holiday vacation watching.

Wow.

How many people are paying $18 to $25 to not have ads?

Do most people put up with the ads in the cheap plan? I'm genuinely curious what the adoption rate is for each option.

Does this mean the nasty chest cold going around Texas, that isn't COVID or flu, may be whooping cough?

Hard disagree. Pecan pie is disgusting. It's just soggy pecans floating in a gelatinous ooze of caro syrup, molasses, and eggs.
More people need to examine the theological implications of apple pie as evidence that God has a plan.
Key lime pie is good.
I make a pretty good pumpkin pie.

Border Patrol is monitoring US drivers and detaining those with 'suspicious' travel patterns The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious.

License plate readers, or ALPRs, connect to a massive national database that feds have had their fingers in for years.
As with everything, it's worse under the Trump administration. They can find anyone, anywhere, and have an algorithm that picks out people to target.

I have no idea how to interpret this. Maybe we'll get a bonus GOP Speaker ousting and subsequent drama.

Omg it's so baaaaad πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I'm all about dropping occasional weird paragraphs with meter and a rhyme scheme into prose, but you have to know how those things work, and chat, this ain't it.

It's so broken up that she may not have done it on purpose and this is a zero draft survivor but who knows.

Like a slow poetry open night and the person who keeps accidentally writing in meter in random places doesn't get kicked offstage when she goes over her set because the sound person and the MC are out on the porch smoking.

Every single post in this thread made me angrier and angrier.

THIS DESCRIBES TEXAS.

If he spent a week in Texas shadowing any university professor, every item on this list would be checked off.

Ask Thomas Alter, Melissa McCoul, and anyone facing A&M's new approval process before discussing race.
