Hot Take.
@POTUS
could resign tomorrow, de facto appointing a woman of color to be America's first female president on Independence Day.
His legacy would be secure forever and
@KamalaHarris
can win in November. Even a small step back on Gaza would bring the left in line.

These are designed to stop you from being comfortable so you don't stay. Capitalism breeds innovation.
Behold the leaning bench.
How much do you have to hate life to design this stuff?
@Progressive_RN
"Why doesn't anyone want to work anymore!"
It's almost like they're just not smart. When you're short-handed, it's not usually the best move to tighten the screws on the people you have left.
@larryolivetree
I love "pay chasers" as an expression. They were hoping to attract a community of altruistic baristas who were only there for the love of their craft.
@TheGr8Aspie
@larryolivetree
This is one of the larger problems. Companies don't want to train anymore because churn just is just part of the process and they don't see the benefit.
With raises often a pittance and no benefit to seniority, the system is working as designed, but it's a bad design.
@JoshuaPHilll
There was always an assertion that she was being propped up by the adults around her. I feel like what we're seeing now is that they were actually holding her back a little, maybe.
She's coming into her own and I like it.
@cooIboobs
@CriminalUnionFW
I mean, the larger point though, the goal posts are just going to keep moving. As better and better deep fakes get cheaper and easier, we're going to have to think differently about media or drown in propaganda and disinformation.
@WhackNicholson
It me. I'm that guy. I've declined my boss's job twice, it's a hellscape and just doesn't pay that much more.
Also, I never want to get too far from the actual work. These jobs are generally more secure.
@packleaDDR
@bethany_bruner
Truly, all this data is available and it's appalling we're intentionally making policy we know will do harm.
But, litigation is driven by harm, so now we're going to have to hurt some girls to work through this process, I guess.
@barista__morg
Sanitation workers are the absolute bedrock of modern civilization and it's a more dangerous job than policing.
I can go years without a doctor and decades without a cop or a lawyer...but if my trash wasn't picked up for a month...it'd be a disaster.

@GoodPoliticGuy
He doesn't want to save you from climate change. If he can't get you to Mars, the next best option is to commoditize breathable air and drinkable water here on Earth.
@AA_ScarletWitch
@mmpadellan
This is a disturbing reality of American politics right now.
Donald Trump is literally "beneath suspicion". ANYTHING you hear now, you have to assume he actually did it and work from there.
It's depressing and exhausting.

@wapplehouse
I particularly like the advice that, if you think your car has been tagged for surveillance, the right play is to drive home and cut the zip tie off in your driveway.
@zachhald
@OldRagMats
@bethbourdon
I'm going to second this. I mean, in this case I'm pretty sure you were mistaken, but that hardly makes you an idiot. And, imaging this debate happening at a Golden Corral is downright magical.

@PinkoScare
This problem with "you can filter it" is that literally everything else in the ecosystem is also reliant on that rain. Every plant and ever animal. This isn't imminent death, but it's kind of a big deal and one we have no practical method for addressing.
@Matt_r_nz
@these_qualia
@robrousseau
That, but he's probably also getting fine care such as it is. As an American, I can't imagine what it would cost just to stay alive in that condition.
@AlepsHasAnxiety
@ellle_em
@LA_Knight89
The whole vibe is weird to me. I've never been to anything that would pass for an "award ceremony" where your partner wouldn't be expected. I mean, is this five guys in someone's mom's basement?
@RotaryCup
@BethLynch2020
Space is the capitalist nirvana where air and water will be commodities to be hoarded and controlled. Forget all this petty fighting over things like oil.
@powcampsurvivor
@theaprilpapers
I put "male manipulator music" right up there with "makeup is lying". Some people are just not equipped for a relationship with another person.
@CommunistHouse1
@catinabalaclava
@davidlparsons
This ignores the rather clear reality that everything else in the ecosystem is using that rain. Every plant, every animal. Sure, we don't all die of dehydration immediately, but this a serious problem and we don't have any real way to address it right now.
@inthezoneuk
@ZoeSchiffer
This. Acquisitions (and mass terminations) are things real companies do with tons of due diligence and an excess of caution. Musk's style may appeal to his fan base, but this kind of behavior doesn't scale well.
@yeoldedad
Well, I mean, if anything is stopping them, it's that a property developer bought up the lake and built high-end condos around it and now it's private property.
But, the people who post these kinds of things seldom acknowledge who their actual adversaries are.
@iamharaldur
@justksshit
This, entirely. You need to just own your public policy. Put a little plaque on the bench that says, "Designed to prevent people from sleeping here."
I'll still hate it, but at least the debate about it can be intellectually honest.
@notmollyorsilly
This is the natural order of things. Brave adults with training and equipment should have taken the risk to protect unarmed children.
The thing is, those adults could have easily kept their loses MUCH smaller, but not one of them was willing to be the one that didn't make it.
@TasersEdge
@SirYitzhak
@ask_aubry
Honestly, this is the same kind of judge who gives young men a pass so we don't "ruin their lives". We know these judges are common.
@chameleoncd
@lizziethat
You know the very best thing about the transition on Umbrella Academy is the way in which almost no one cared and it changed nothing.
If that "ruined" the show for you, I think you were just looking for an excuse.
@Ryan_Ken_Acts
Always start with the target you think the fewest people will defend and then move up the chain. At every step you eliminate opposition and strengthen your own position.
@FozzieComrade
@TheEmoDragon
Lol, seriously, I have not met anyone I think of a an actual "leftist" who has not said, "Yeah, prosecute them all."
There are partisans on both side that want to stick this on the other party, but the Democrats are at best a center-right party.
@RuNoseP
@EllieGabalus
The truth is, they don't like democracy if it doesn't mean they get to be in charge. This is a thing as old as America. The founders on balance cared about -their- representation (white landowning men). Real universal suffrage takes a whole different mindset.
@EricShapiro3
This was literally Bernie Sanders using the process as intended and all this pearl clutching from the Democrats just demonstrates how broken the system really is.
@BalurCDN
@alixabeth
Immigration hearings are administrative, not judicial, and you have no guaranteed right to counsel. That children have sometimes been left to navigate this is pretty well documented.
It's indisputably barbaric.
@coryprovost
Shenanigans notwithstanding, she's near term and also claims to not be getting appropriate care (which seems likely under the circumstances). It's appropriate to use every available avenue to advocate for the safety of the child.
@RunJuly
@amockingbird
Literally no actual fan of tennis wants to drive one of the world's best players from the court...over press events. This is some fine blend of misogynoir and plantation capitalism.
@catlovingcommie
@TheEmoDragon
This is one of the great case studies in propaganda. If you're willing to do a frame by frame analysis of enough video you can catch all kinds of wild expressions that all (in context) don't mean anything.
@Nickhasdoubts
@hoot_little
In this era of the gratuitous double-down so many people could learn from this example.
It's really easy to say, "Oh, hey, sorry. Let me fix that."
@jenny2x4
Someone needs to explain to me the applications of insulin that making it "free" would cause shortages. I mean, people prescribed insulin are trying to avoid death, no?
Is there a recreational insulin black market or are we just saying it's ok to let some patients die?
@CRobertBuchanan
@kenklippenstein
Honestly, this is what's killing me. I keep hearing all this strong language, but as I see it, AP has actually experienced zero consequences and done nothing.
@gravelerer
@BadMedicalTakes
I feel like really this is the underdiscussed context. This woman is sharing terrible medical advice. But, in her defense, it IS entirely possible someone pretending to be a medical professional gave her this terrible advice.
@rebeccamakkai

@tencents77
Not that utilitarianism but THIS is the utilitarian analysis a serious person would do. We've lost one innocent person to save three rapists and that is objectively a bad trade.
@bilzyb
@ruemcclammyhand
This is why it's so evil for Israel to say, "you should leave to avoid being bombed". There's nowhere to go and no way to get there, but if they did leave, Israel would just annex their land...which is really the endgame they want anyway.
@fuckyouiquit
I mean. Seems like a solid call. They should be happy, she cut everyone's loses.
They should pay her long enough to come in for an exit interview to discuss why. (But, I'm sure instead they just assume she's the problem.)
@FeelsLikeATwit
@chaoticgaythey
This is actually the problem with a lot of modern superhero narratives. The villain has a point, even if his solutions are problematic. Then we defeat him and pretend everything's fine.
It's all thinly-veiled copaganda.
@SimplyShae13
@JoshDootson
"It depends" is totally "are they hot?" energy.
These are the worst people because they think you might deserve to be raped, if they want to have sex with you.
@Badgrlstrange
It's weird because we know exactly how to bolster the birth rate, but the same people complaining about declining birth rates, oppose all those policies.
