But this would require allowing someone in the internet to be wrong without commentary! Our cravings must be sated!

Ahh I hate that question so much. I think it's trying to get at "how do you handle disagreement" but to specify "someone above you"...many bosses don't allow disagreement. And even with those I could gently push back on, I wouldn't describe the situation as a "conflict"! (I'm in HR fwiw)

ELECTROCHEMISTRY - Showing up to work on time is *hard* -- no, scratch that, showing up to work *at all* is difficult.

A drawing of the artist walking around with a silly smile, while a carabiner holding keys, connected to her pants, is making loud CLINK CLANK CLONK sound.

Above her is a thought bubble with a robot bearing the caption "Lesbotron 3000", also making loud CLINK CLANK CLONK sounds.

Yes, exactly this. The "it knows all" lie is making work worse bc it amplifies the worst in every boss.
Saw someone mention how their boss wants them to do something stupid that creates compliance risk, and when they pushed back, boss said "look Gemini agrees with me" so now she has no choice.

Extra weird to use HK specifically, as it's a cartoon child without romantic or parental aspirations (at least that I've ever seen). That's like holding up Strawberry Shortcake as a stepford wife cliche. Maybe they wanted to use Barbie but the movie + US copyright law had them scrambling?

As someone who was immediately familiar with the actual context this language is used... it kinda makes him look out of touch!

Yes, I I have also seen "court- involved" which was explained to me as inclusive of people who were maybe arrested or given a summons but not necessarily found guilty or incarcerated. (Context was diversion programs.)

Went out to Arabia Mountain today, and while I was disturbed to see how dry the ephemeral ponds are this early in the season, I did encounter The Tiniest Turtle Imaginable

I only remember 90s NYC but there was enough poop that hopscitching over it was an active part of walking to school and there were also way more stray dogs.

I only know like three songs but one time a coworker couldn't make it to the DMB show and gave tickets away, so I got to go instead and it was fun in a jam band kind of way. Not my usual thing but the musicians are talented, and the audience was super chill/high lol.

I had drawn a bath & new kitten Liara is fascinated by them. She stood up to peer at the water, so I had my phone out to take a pic.

I bet you can see where this is going.

Yeah this story is what pushed me from low key hating Dolan to despising him. I hope they tear down MSG for the Penn Station rebuild and he doesn't find a spot for a new one.

This is well overdue. There's absolutely no reason to not bring NY's disability insurance into this century. How many people could have been saved from homelessness if we'd changed this sooner?

This morning when I was leaving the house, this little guy was just chilling on my porch. He was unbothered—didn’t fly away—so I walked around him and got a good pic. Hello mister hermit thrush! Hello. Good morning.

I love hearing cardinals and blue jays together, as if there were a 5AM conversation “Hey, I’m going to make little scifi noises, that ok?”

“Sure, so long as I can yell ‘Fuck! Fuck!’”

“Deal.”
