If you woke up today and
> have a job
> can call both your parents
> not physically ill
> have somewhere to go back home to
it is a good day regardless of what else is going on in the world or what you might be stressed about
easy to take these things for granted
“i’m 27 years old, i’ve no money and no prospects. i’m already a burden to my parents, and i’m frightened” is as relevant today as when jane austen wrote it in 1813
In the last few years we've seen:
- The plot to kidnap Gretchen Whitmer
- The Storming of the Capitol and pipe bombs left at the RNC and DNC
- The break-in to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and the brutal on Paul Pelosi
- Multiple assassination attempts against Trump
- The assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and the shooting of on State Senator John Hoffman and his wife
- Luigi Mangione's assassination of Brian Thompson
- The assassination of Charlie Kirk
Political violence is contagious. It is spreading. It is not confined to one side or belief system. It should terrify us all.
The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all. You have to be so blind not to see that.
Remember the $5 footlong? I just paid $15 at Subway. My order legit hasn’t changed since high school.
This is late-stage capitalism.
Wtf Is this country 💀🇺🇸
I worked 55–60 hrs a week from May–Aug only because I was hourly + OT.
Then they switched me to salary, lowballed me, and still expect that grind?
Why would I do more work for less pay? Corporate math is wild.
HR: “Salary means you work as many hrs as it takes to get your job done. Some weeks will be 50-55, others will be 40-45”
Me: “Cool, so I value a work-life balance and will be capping my hrs to 40-45….”
Companies be crazy with these low salaries and high expectations
Failure doesn’t drain you, shame does.
Detach your identity from outcomes and you’ll bounce back faster than 99% of people.
Losses are tuition, not verdicts.
childhood is ephemeral. a fleeting phase, often spanning just a decade or so, where the world feels boundless yet slips away quickly as responsibilities and time reshape us. it fades into fragments, much like anything ephemeral.
So many people are wasting their talents because they don't have the courage to distance themselves from the wrong goals that they started to work on many years ago.
Brad, for 16 years you have represented the Spoked-B with immense pride and passion. You set the tone every night with your intensity and drive, while becoming one of the best players in the history of our franchise.
You will forever be a Boston Bruin.
Thank you for everything.
don’t leave anything for later.
later, the coffee gets cold.
later, you lose interest.
later, the day turns into night.
later, people grow up.
later, people grow old.
later, life goes by.
later, you regret not doing something… and you had the chance.
Trump just said he’s unsure if he can bring down grocery prices “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."
Congratulations, MAGA. You voted for “lower prices” but in reality, you got played.
A reminder that the Biden-Harris Admin approved a rule that required overtime pay for Americans making less than $58,600 and working more than 40 hours a week.
A Trump-appointed judge reversed it.
Despite what Republicans may claim, they are not for the working class.
