I swear to god, if I hear one more Boomer tell me how I need to accommodate their “busy schedule” when they neither have a paid job or children at home. Screaming in Gen X over here.

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

Don’t.

Secretary of War Pete Hegs... • © • 39m The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t.

You dumb chucklefuck.

it’s so funny that the drunk tv host in charge of the military is like “real warriors don’t need vaccines” when all the greatest generals in history would have done anything for a jab that kept their armies safe from disease

Long term care insurance for my dad’s residential facility. My folks paid into it for years and years, and now that we need it, the company finds a million reasons not to pay up. I know that’s how it generally works, but they’re really inventive.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

However grandly you have been fucked over by an insurance company, they will find new and innovative forms of fuckery. Truly at the bleeding edge of creativity in the category of fucking over customers. Always pioneering.

It’s a two-dose thing but then you’re done!

I get it! This is very annoying!

Lol, I was also blocked by Shatner on the other site. It feels like a badge of honor now.

Oh nooooooooo

Yeah, apparently second dose is harder than the first. When I got the first dose, I just felt tired and a little achy. I feel a lot worse with the second. Again, still better than shingles!!

Got my second dose of the shingles vaccine yesterday, going on 24 hours of feeling like I have the flu. Still better than shingles!! But plan ahead for when you take it: keep that schedule light.

I love New Buffalo! We went there for summer vacay a couple of years ago. Beer Church has great pizza (and beer) if you’re looking.

👏👏👏👏👏👏

The author of this article refused to sign an NDA, giving up severance and healthcare benefits to tell this story.

If you didn't read it already, read it.

Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.

Be sure to read the whole thing.

I skipped lunch and I’m making a quick run to Trader Joe’s.

[cue Jackass music]

Louisville!!

Really surprised it took you this long!

When your life becomes a case study in karma.

THE STRETCHER

This whole story is such a nightmare. ICE has become the secret police for well-connected assholes, on call for private disputes.

Apparently I’ve watched enough TikTok content related to Bad Bunny and/or Rosalia so that I’m now getting podcast ads in Spanish. Algorithms are fun!

Read an article this morning about how Allbirds is pivoting to become an AI company and goddamn if a company turning from eco-friendly shoes to water- and power-guzzling AI doesn't feel like a metaphor for this entire era

Quince’s Best-Kept Secret Isn’t Its Cheap Cashmere and Couches The online apparel retailer has become a $10 billion-plus e-commerce giant by mastering the art of the supply chain.

The retailer I get the most questions about from friends and readers is Quince, and it's not close. It carries everything from cashmere sweaters to American-made sofas to Dom Perignon champagne, most of it super cheap. I finally wrote about what Quince is up to. 🎁: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

My kiddo went to see his show in NYC last week and got to meet him after! Said he was a total mensch.
