congratulations, Weimar America, we did it

@7maryt @mcsquared34 Why would this be fake? Have you interacted with management in a setting with standard daily staffing quotas before? This is completely normal for them.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@mcsquared34 As a union rep I once had to write an email about a situation like this featuring the sentence “Unfortunately, dying loved ones are not always able to take into consideration the employer’s staffing quotas for a given day.” I did successfully shame them out of discipline, though.

@tastiestofnoms Wouldn’t be the SASY FB group if someone wasn’t earning that response

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms But I was also super grossed out by the establishment ratfucking of Crowley’s return and I’m just so over all of it still.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms Yeah it’s frustrating because I guess ultimately my concerns with her were “electability” but not in the centrist way that all of that is getting taken as? I agreed with her platform! But I absolutely had concerns about HER as a like… functional politician.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms I worry she doesn’t have the sauce in terms of like… engaging with people in redder areas about the parts of her platform that positively impact them, and also making it clear she would work to help them too. Baldwin has succeeded by meeting people in those areas where they are.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms Yeah I agree with Hong a lot on policy and my electability concerns aren’t like… it’s not about views themselves, it’s about how to take that messaging out into the not-Madison broader WI and talk about it in a way that connects with people?

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms Oof. I wanted rain but can’t say I’m sad we didn’t get that…

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@nowalch @rpmm24 Yep. Same local orgs leading the protests are who got them voted down by Common Council. There are obviously reasons they aren’t a panacea but I do think it would’ve been beneficial here.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms This is not a recommendation to watch the whole thing because OOF.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms I saw it unabridged on instagram (there are links if you look around on Reddit etc) and it’s MUCH worse than what made it to channel 3000, it’s directly in the face point blank.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms Are we ever getting real rain again like come on

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@Nebraskademsoc Doable but unpleasant. Most people at a minimum aim for an outer suburb of one if they work in the other.

@feederofcats The line I always gave when I was an adoption counselor is that if your cats are having the kind of conflict where FIV transmission is a risk, the FIV isn’t your biggest problem.

@CapTimes With the most sincerity I’ve ever said this: ok, boomer.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@roborat315 @luckyitslizz Just “people” was how I learned it. I was thrown by FIB when I moved to WI!

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

@tastiestofnoms Yeah that radar looked rotational enough that I dipped during the weird lull after the 5 minutes of small hail but before the golf ball-sized stuff.

[useful & strange @dissolveriol]

It takes a lot to put me in the basement but this radar loop had me down before they officially warned it. This update from the neighborhood groupchat is not promising. North side near the airport. #wiwx
