Yes, these Muppets have taken Manhattan. The question now is can they HOLD it

[notelly]

what if - and hear me out - they invented a non-stressful week at work?

[notelly]

can someone explain to me why I'm exhausted for at least a full week after going on work trips but my colleagues seem to have no issues

are they faking it or is my body uniquely unsuited to travel and time zone changes

the most fun a girl can have is finding parallels, noticing patterns, making connections, contemplating

being at work while your personal life is falling apart has to be among the top 3 worst human experiences. You’re at your absolute lowest and someone wants to circle back on an email…… unreal

recently we were out on a hilltop taking photos of the comet and suddenly some car's headlights blind us from across the bay. literally four miles away.

who the fuck is out here with these nuclear fusion powered headlights. who puts naval searchlights on their fucking toyota tacoma.

shout out to this slate article for, while not really making me feel any better, being one of the only things I've read in a mainstream publication over the last 24 hrs that has made me feel even one ounce of sanity

how it feels to not care about something that used to drive you insane

just spent $1000 getting my old volvo 240 stationwagon fixed and even though it was cheaper than i thought it was gonna be, i was feeling some way about the cost.

but, man. when i was driving home. there's no better feeling in the world than driving that car while listening to classic rock. feels like summers as a wild teenager.

Capitalism is the fundamental system underpinning all economic activity in most of the world. So I get confused when people look at anything bad (say, exploiting workers, hoarding profits) and say "this is because of capitalism" and then don't look at something like this and say "this is also because of capitalism". Everything is because of capitalism, capitalism is the set of base rules of how our economy functions, no??

All this to say, I wish people when people see problems in the way our economy and society work, they would just say "poor government regulation" or "poor civic education" or "not enough free-market competition" or idk, just literally anything actually actionable and not just "capitalism is the root of all our problems". What a profoundly uninteresting and unactionable statement - of course it is! It's the root of all the good things, too! What are you going to do about it, overthrow capitalism???

This like when the costco founder said he'd kill the cfo if he tried to raise the price of the hot dog
