Incredible how much Fifa has fucked up the global game. Nothing but venal greed

Surely all set in Chicago.

I used to *love* this game.

Haven't played in about 5 months now

As a follically challenged gentleman myself, I implore you; please don't group me with that bloviating polyp on the anus of government.

Here's an idea; no workplace-based health insurance. Instead companies give you their "share" of premiums as salary and then, I dunno, maybe somebody (government?) can take that and use it to negotiate on your behalf, directly with healthcare providers.

It's mad. I hate dealing with car insurance and that's relatively easy. Not as if I can get into an out of network car accident.

I can't tell if he's evil or just a fucking idiot (could be both).

Being "able to go out & negotiate their own insurance" is no help when your have a weak negotiating position such as a life threatening illness or pre-existing condition.

Could just have been a Thursday

Emailed both my senators asking them to take steps to replace Schumer as Minority Leader.

Feels like yelling into a chasm, a bit, but who knows. Maybe it'll help

Sign the Petition Demand That Chuck Schumer Step Down As Minority Leader

(Change(dot)org will ask you to donate. You *do not* need to donate.)

I kept hearing that AOC is considering a run, and I'd be here for it.

Honestly, though, I feel like anybody would be an improvement.

(Wait, no; not Cuomo. Lol)

C'mon man. What are you even for?

"I will not support [the thing that got enough Dem votes to pass even though Im supposed to be in charge of them]"

I really hope that plausible deniability does not prevent a primary challenge.

I dunno, it feels like Dem leadership totally wanted to cave and just found the 8 least-exposed senators to do it.

Cowards

It's incredible that the Democrats at the national level are so bad at doing the thing that is the whole point of their existence. Such a craven, cowardly bunch

Honestly I don't mind getting rejected for a job (ok, I mind *a bit*, but it's busy and I get it) but not hearing anything is downright rude.

It's not even as if you can drive to offices and ask to speak to people any more, although don't think for one minute that I haven't considered it

If anybody is unsure as to what the current job market looks like, let me tell you;

370 applications.
About 100 rejection emails
3 interviews
The rest - nothing.

"fan mail"

Or "man fail"?

Ah but it's not a "bribe", it's a "business expense"

Oh, so he was full of shit?

Shocker

She could have easily said "The Democratic Party is a big tent party with room for anybody looking of reduce the burden on working families, improve the economy and help the marginalized" but instead...

Wishing a great day for NY area moving companies now that all those wealthy people will 100%, for sure, no take backsies move out like they said they would if Mamdani won

Surely illegal.
Das Kapital offense

There's a guy who plays pickup with us who is a former Olympian (track). Great guy but it's incredibly unfair that I, a 46 year old out of shape man who was never athletic to begin with, has to try to keep up with him.

The only way I could match his speed is if you pushed off a cliff.

First time I've look at bluesky in, I dunno, 6 weeks, maybe 2 months, and this is what you hit me with?

Not Cool

Ah, I've just seen. Some sort of baseballist apparently

Unless this is about a muppet or a Stockard Channing role, I am lost

I believe a message to Hirohito was written on the outside of the nuke that was used to bomb Nagasaki in 1945.

Not technically a bullet, of course.

There should be consequences for outlets and people who say this shit. As soon as it's out there, a subset of people will believe it and steadfastly refuse to listen to updates, and it's dangerous
