Even the news is in re-runs.

Orwell didn’t know he was also writing about the Entertainment-Industrial Complex.

a) Certainly. b) FYI it’s “senseless drivel” which sounds almost exactly the same.

Chris Rock is a pretty smart motherfucker.

hey now, the US has a long and storied history of loving the fuck out of female presidential candidates.

but it’s not their money until they coerce people into giving it to them

my company respects my free time

Well that doesn’t sound like a recipe for anyone becoming a billionaire from your labour

• Thankyou for the help.
• I tried the bullet list before and it didn’t seem to be working; it was probably me, though.
• let’s see if it works like this

a) good for Barcelona

b) fuck airBNB

c) also, fuck airBNB

yeah I can do without watching a YT video to listen to someone say stupid things.

it’s bad enough knowing that some people literally make better money creating bullshit YT and TV shows than I make at my job.

a) what you say is true b) these car-related issues affect other countries just as much : I’m Canadian. c) there are other things that WFH improves as well, but they are far enough behind the car-related problems that they can seem petty by comparison. They aren’t petty at all, but they do make a convenient foil for those who argue against WFH.

my overseer can see my work just fine. also I fucking rock.

this still smells of propaganda, like it’s woven through the whole thing. “The American worker is making peace with a longer ride”.
and yet the very first example they provide is someone who works from home twice a week.

I’ll tell you this: the commute is even better when you work from home. WFH means less carbon emissions, less time wasted in traffic, and less time literally putting your life at risk from vehicle collisions.

and yet their necks are all roughly the same size as everyone else’s.

How very curious.

and he’ll get it too if it wasn’t for you meddling kids

SLIDE!

The catch is none of the lobbyists for the over-leveraged real estate companies have gotten to him yet.

Give it time.

Corporations have also already proved very difficult to actually hold to account. They can basically do as they please, with relative disregard for any consumer protections that may already exist. It’s not good, but it can get worse.

The time spent to commute to work is much longer than the time it takes a hedgie to plummet from a window of their own free will.

you know what? NORMALIZE SWEARING.
I don’t need to see a goddamn asterisk over a swear word. I know what the word “fucking” means. I fuck. It’s something I do. It’s a word I say, as a verb and an adjective. I’m comfortable with doing it, with saying it, and with seeing the word spelled correctly.
