When you're an editor, EVERY day is National Grammar Day!

I also liked this show and agree about the last seasons going off the rails.

The second best episode in the entire history of "Designing Women." (The first best is s1e2, "The Beauty Contest," in which Julia goes off on Marjorie and gives the "And that's the night the lights went out in Georgia" speech.)

Lyin' liars gonna lie. TFG can't open his mouth without lying about something. In his first attempt at fascism (I mean, first administration), he was documented as having lied more than 30,000 times!

I'd believe a 3-year-old before I'd believe the Liar-in-Chief.

Now that I've caught my breath from laughing hysterically about all this...(And I'm not sure what was the best part – well, probably the Falcons reference.)

I eat mild Popeyes these days. You get old, you can't do the spicy anymore.

And I just sit back and enjoy the solitude of not having those Kool-aid drinkers in my life anymore. May they never have another day's peace for the rest of their abnormally long lives.

If I even THINK about softening my position about having cut off people who were MAGA-leaning or supports of TFG, I recall that the demented pedophile-in-chief continues to disregard the Constitution, put American lives in danger and push this country toward fascism.

Rep. Pramila Jayapal is one of my newest sheroes.

Go get 'em, Pramila! Hold them accountable.

I want him prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I want him impeached and removed from office.
I want him convicted in American courts (again).
I want him to stand before the The International Court of Justice in the Hague and found guilty of crimes against humanity.

(And Jim Jordan too!)

That shit compensation goes back to people: bosses who are more than happy to work their employees to death while taking salaries 10x those of the employees.

I reached out to my Congressional delegation today to tell them they need to hold Kristi Noem accountable for her crimes against the citizens of this country.

It's your turn. Time to bring this dog-killer to heel.

Go get 'em, Becca Balint. I hope you continue to demand accountability from Kristi Noem and everyone else.

Vermont, you picked a good one here.

No, Mike. YOU'RE the Great Satan.

WTAF, Alabama?

Are we sure it was only RFK Jr. that had a brain worm?

One was a school principal. The other was a minister.

Tom, Tom, Tom

More evidence that Jasmine Crockett is the type of leader we need. What a class act.

I'm reading Louise Penny's "The Black Wolf" and this is part of the plotline.

So true. I started seeing this about 10 years ago.
I came from a PR/advertising background and was used to pitching. But I quickly drew fatigued with the process as a freelance editor because there was a black hole out there into which pitches were going.

AHA MOMENT:
We were having a discussion about "why people leave jobs."

It's rarely about the work. It's hardly ever about the day-to-day tasks.

It's the people. It's finally deciding that being unemployed is better than having to spend your days with barely sentient plankton.

Work sucks.

I'm old. It goes back much farther than that.
We grew up with doctors –
Ben Casey. Dr. Kildare. Marcus Welby. Donna Reed (her husband was a doctor).
and lawyers –
Perry Mason. The Defenders. Matlock.
and first responders –
Emergency.

TY CG.

I love this movie so very much.

We laughed at teachers on "Welcome Back Kotter."
We laughed at waitresses on "Alice."
We laughed at journalists on "Mary Tyler Moore."
We laugh at professions we don't consider heroic or well paid.
We faithfully watch the doctors, lawyers and first responders because we elevate those careers.

2/2

I think it might be that society sees these professions as "better." They're either heroic or well paid. Shows about teachers aren't always well received because who wants to watch stories about overworked, underpaid and disrespected professionals? Nobody considers college professors heroic.

This reminds me of all the people from Orleans who deigned to come to Jefferson when they had no TJ's of their own. For 6.5 days each week, they talked trash about Metairie, but once a week they'd come to our to TJ's and act like it was the first time they'd ever been in a parking lot.
