I appreciate your perspective. Those who can definitely should. :)

It's up to you which companies you work with, but the ones I mentioned are the most exploitative and are actively making our world a worse place.

They must really have a different impression of The Handmaid's Tale than I do.

No, crazy is what we're going to find out about Pam's husband in two weeks. I am prepared to give her privacy at that difficult time.

That's actually the price of a gallon of gas.

Good point! I don't know that people know all of those parts, so I felt it was helpful to break out the obvious ones. (I forgot a couple too!)

Anna, how do you feel about her replacement? Feels like a side step at best.

At this point, the Union should be begging people to attend. They flushed away all of the good will from prior seasons and need to fire the GM and oust the owner.

I'm not a saint avoiding companies, but limit Amazon/prime and support women's sports in your area (wnba, hockey, etc, with the exception of UFC until they fire Dana White)

It's so brave of you to have been on this journey when so many would not have dared.

The joke is there's no job -- it's an 80-hour/week internship training AI to do the intern's job to eliminate the position.

Facebook, Instagram, X, WaPo, and Threads should be on this list.

Recessions are usually something they id after it has started. So we may be in one right now and just seeing the full impact taking shape.

If they can reopen the strait and settle markets, it still might not be enough to keep it from happening. (Throw in AI too)

Young people on the job market are not finding anything. Even if you aren't trusting job numbers, those lack of opportunities is real.

But I'm not an expert either. I just saw frustration with our country and unrest.

Some Trump supporters had their signs vandalized so much they glued razors to the sides.

I guess my point is that signs don't vote. When you can't afford rent or find a job or mortgage, that's a powerful predictor of change. And I worked the polls and saw a lot of anger coming in.

We had a lot of both vandalized. People were and are angry. I suspect Americans are generally very unhappy with their government...why and how is the difference.

I was/am one! Remember Obama's slogan "we are the change we seek"? That's now. No one is coming to help.

Margin of victory is usually a fraction of a percent. A bipartisan/inclusive platform would be oddly refreshing.

We see a lot of those signs coming down too. Don't read too much into it. 2016 had a lot of quieter supporters in PA and elsewhere who didn't broadcast their vote. (2020, 24 was filled with lots of flags and signs.)

Just to add onto this- you're more likely to have gripes in common with libertarians and goals in common with moderates. That's a solid start of a collision.

Cousins is a smart player and recognizes he can be effective with a good cast around him. But this is not a good team, so he's better serving as a teacher and spot fill-in.

I've been struggling with this for a long time. Sometimes I get locked in and then spiral in guilt for not being locked in. Thank you!

Bezos bought the paper and ran out everyone with a spine. He controls the newsroom and can censor anything he wants.

Remember when The WaPost was all "democracy dies in the darkness" and then they got bought and now let democracy die in the darkness every day? Thanks, Bezos! I hope to be spared by the oligarchy!

If they ever play here, no one will be able to afford it. Heck, I can't swing an Eagles game anymore and my dad had season tickets for years. Attending sport events now is out of reach for most people.

I have not yet met or talked with these fabled "regretful voters." Sure, the talking heads who aligned with him have shifted but I keep seeing people who have shifted to high costs as the price of freedom.

Have you spoken to any offline?

I can't understand why people in #Fail Videos walk down the stairs without holding tre railing. Like, don't they know they're in a #failvideo? People always fall down those stairs.
