I don’t mock anybody as fiercely and unrepentantly as I mock people driving this thing. I point. I laugh. I gun my (superior) engine. I don’t let them into traffic. I don’t let them pass on the right or the left. I will out my car back into park rather than give them next for a parking space.

Every single thing he says is creepy as fuck.

Another failure from Maple Moses.

Really, when the fuck are you motherfuckers going to stop listening to Bernie fucking Sanders? He has done absolutely NOTHING in his life. He's achieved nothing. He's a failure at everything. He's the socialist Trump.

This isn’t a critique on religious fasting. Religious folks don’t pretend it’s healthy to get you to buy a book on how to fast for their religion. I’m not a fan of religion but no one has ever knocked on my door asking if I was fasting. My own spouse is fasting and it has zero affect on me.

As someone who grew up dancing, most fad diets closely resemble disordered eating but for middle aged men. That’s why they give me the ick. Why pay some grifter for his book when I can ask Melissa what 3 foods she’s eating this month?

I mean, I was explaining to my spouse (who is Muslim) the difference in fasting for Ramadan and Lent. I told him I never fasted for Lent bc it was less restrictive than all the eating disorders I saw as a dancer.

We need to have a fitness class for Xennials that is just dancing the choreography of pop music from the 90s.

I finally agree with him about something.

They view him like King Cyrus… a non believer chosen by and used as God’s instrument to achieve a certain goal, which probably makes him eligible for heaven.

Gen Z. They don’t drink, dance, go to the clubs, and they think Gen X and millennials were cringe for hook up culture. It’s like purity culture without the religion.

Bale Dalton has similar experience, more political experience, than Stephanie Murphy who did a great job for Orlando. Maxwell Frost wasn’t in government either and serves our district well here in HD-10.

*Please* amplify this risk.
The US DOE wants to implement an earnings test on all undergrads and grads--if grads of your programs do not earn a specified amount upon receiving their degrees, your programs risk losing federal funding. The earnings tests begin *this October*.

What decade are we talking? My aunt used to live in Stone Mountain in the 90s.

It’s the unpicked booger in the nostril that really makes it.

Beshear has the highest approval ratings of all the Democratic governors. He ditched the boiler plate language when he talks about policy and that's why he's successful in selling more progressive policy.

It’s not even wealthy kids. I know many middle class and working class families who put their kids in sports thinking they’ll get college scholarships. They spend more on travel baseball than they’d spend on a college degree at the local university.

These guys thought they were being unique in these posts but they’re getting their asses handed to them. One guy lists seminary as his only education and he’s being eaten alive by exvangelicals.

β€œLet’s use Lent for employees to reflect on bad habits that might be infiltrating the work place.” Can Jesus come back and flip your table bc WTF even is this? Lent also requires charitable giving. How about we talk about what your company is doing for charity?

β€œThe parable of talents teaches us employees should be managing resources so if they can’t balance 30 hours of meetings and 40 hours of field work we need to let them go.” You’re actually the person in charge of managing resources as leadership, my guy. So… you leaving?

β€œI feel so bad having to let people go”… Then stop hiring 3 employees with the intention of only keeping 1, making them sign noncompetes, firing them so you can make EBITA look good, then prohibiting them from working in the industry for 2 years. You should feel bad for doing that to people.

In today’s edition of LinkedIn Bullshit… men are quoting the Bible and talking about faith based leadership strategies as justification for their firings. β€œI wouldn’t be a good steward” kind of nonsense. I wouldn’t be a proper exvangelical if I wasn’t loudly shaming them.

This is just factually dishonest and it's honestly part of the problem.

This right here. The GOP runs the "they/them" attack ads, forces Dems to respond, then the GOP says "see, they're out of touch and unfocused on the economy" which was an issue where the GOP was polling a bit weak.

The worst one was a Diamond Resort in Orlando that was a bio hazard clean in the bathroom. I was on the phone with the safety guy asking him how I’d know the material was safe after the chemical application. He told me to put a black light on it. I was like β€œBob, this hotel still has the original

I bring instant coffee, my own towel, and my own pillowcase. I’ve seen hotel rooms under a black light lol

Listen, if the pope excommunicates Vance, I’m taking it as a sign from god (I don’t believe in god) and converting to Catholicism.

So this might come as a shocker but ingredients and how they are labeled through the years changes. Good lord.
