oh my god i think someone's altered their car to make the car horn a duck quack noise hold on hold on I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THIS WAS POSSIBLE

Back in the 80’s, the security of a job went away. Employers started asking “why employees weren’t as loyal to the company”, willfully ignoring that it was a two way street. Job hopping became the way to move ahead - particularly since their retirement was linked to a 401k, and not a pension.

A post from Mike LaPorte, a head of talent acquisition on LinkedIn: "I owe job seekers an apology. Not for anything I did intentionally. But for what the industry I've spent my career in has normalized. We normalized ghosting candidates after interviews. Just never responding. Like the 3 hours they spent preparing and the PTO they burned to come in didn't matter. We normalized job descriptions that are 40% aspirational fiction. Listing 15 "required" qualifications when we'd happily hire someone with 8 of them. We normalized 6 round interview processes for mid level roles. Panel interviews where half the people in the room haven't read the resume. We normalized asking candidates to show all their cards, current comp, competing offers, career goals, while giving them almost nothing in return. We normalized treating candidates like a pipeline metric instead of people making one of the most consequential decisions of their lives. I'm not saying every recruiter does this. I know a lot of great ones who fight these patterns every day. But as an industry we've built a system that asks candidates to invest enormous time, energy, and emotional labor into a process that gives them almost nothing back unless they get the offer. That's broken. And a lot of it has nothing to do with technology. It's choices we stopped questioning. But I do think we can build better systems and smarter tools to start fixing it. What would you change first? Genuinely asking."

Then let us begin normalizing the acknowledgment and understanding of this grim reality so many have found themselves ensnared in. A large number simply don't know because they're not currently affected by it. The existence of this post alone is a wonderful beginning move.

Me: “So if it’s 11:15 but our bodies think it’s only 10:15, then why does it feel like 2?”

Husband: “Same reason it’s 2026 but it feels like 1939.”

Also "the concentration camps and mass deportation apparatus of the Nazis were created through the legal system" is something we need to sit with and digest here in America, like immediately

Despite being raised in a fervently Catholic family, I never actually was a believer. Despite that, I only started drifting away from the Church around the age of 20 when I stopped being in denial about being gay.

But the thing that sealed the deal was the Father Rivo Affair.

"I said, 'Why don't we just capture the ship? Why did we sink them?' He said, 'it's more fun to sink them.'"

Oh, no biggie. Just the president of the United States out there boasting about the commission of war crimes, to the uproarious laughter of his Nazi cohort.

Really this whole guy’s schtick is very good

Figurines of Brady Bunch and Partridge Family fighting each other

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Lol, this is the understatement of the century. Maybe the last century too. Same as those that dilly dally about whether there is "war" or war crimes. Stop. @ballsandstrikes.org

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Ripping the tag off a mattress isn’t bad enough? 😁

A drawing of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are laying curled up on top of one-another, being very tired. Above and below them is the text "Temporarily out of fox." and "Back in two weeks."

the most difficult thing abt this website aside from the time limit is you can't tell someone they're the funniest motherfucker alive

Sack retired in 2022 due to carpal tunnel. To come out of retirement to draw anti-ICE, pro-Minnesota cartoons, he learned to draw with his left hand.

Wasn't brought up religious, but reading The Demon Haunted World by Sagan when I was like 16 made me think, "Wait, it's all just different kinds of bullshit?"
Read this book if you haven't.

Someone on here yesterday pointed out that you can tell they didn’t see any of this coming because they would have done insider trades on the oil futures market if they had.

I imagine him bent over a low-backed chair like this facing a wall of trophies And then there’s a picture of a leather armchair and an honest to god architectural drawing with MS Paint stick figures

Absolutely nobody’s doing it like Heated Rivalry fans, god bless
