@LegsFrank For sour tour I went alone and made an elaborate story in my head (that I naturally never needed) about being a music writer for Stereogum if anyone asked, but for guts I was just like “whatever her music rules and I like it”

@LongJosh @BernieSanders Immoral companies have to be nice to their employees because if you’re making the world worse *and* not getting anything for it no one would want to work there. They have to offer a price high enough for you to turn your soul off for 40 hours a week. How much is that for you?

@nezumi_ningen but have you considered that it was wrong because Andy Dick is a comedian and if comedians are scared to make jokes making light of their potential responsibilities for their friends’ murder, then every comedian forever will have to be worried that they might get slapped onstage

@XoxoGossipTurg @ohgodscrewthis The sentiment of this tweet is true but this is not why Beau DeMayo got fired. it’s been known about since before he was signed on, and it’s much more likely that he got fired for the same reason he got fired from The Witcher (said to be his treatment of writers in the room)

Mom went to buy a new snow-scooping F150 to replace our 27yo one. Turns out the blade we used wouldn’t work on F150s made past 2005 because despite being much bigger they were no longer made for actual work bc they’re a signifier that suburbans like Sen. Cruz use to look “rural”.

This story is horrifying, but the worst part is that there are so many more people who can’t fight like this family can and are forced to capitulate to insurers under threat of bankruptcy or their bodies breaking down. Insurers will lie their asses off to keep it this way.
