@drmaddkap if a stranger approaches you to sell you on a psychological test, outside of a few very specific contexts, they’re probably a Scientologist. As much as I enjoy the mental image you’re painting, please exercise due caution when indulging them.
Does anyone else have trouble with the combination of purse straps and buttoned blouses? The shoulder strap pulling at my buttons as I take my purse on and off throughout the day is starting to create mishaps that, um, ruin the point of #professional dress in the first place.

Since this is not a matter of "if" but rather "when"...
Which of these things will happen first?

Amazing how we don’t see a clamoring from all those enslaved people of other countries to have gun laws more like ours.

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas changed his position on one of America’s most significant regulatory doctrines after his wife reportedly accepted secret payments from a shadowy conservative network pushing for the change."
Yup. Thomas's rulings are nowhere near as consistent as his defenders claim. E.g., his arbitration rulings bear no resemblance to his stated jurisprudence.

In the UK they are stopping people who are wearing a mask from voting. It’s unacceptable to exclude high risk people from democracy.

Donald Trump Built a National Debt So Big (Even Before the Pandemic) That It’ll Weigh Down the Economy for Years
He promised to reduce the national debt but instead increased it. It is now at its highest level relative to the U.S. economy since the end of World War II
This is one of his lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies, the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch.

In Desk 88, Sherrod Brown's book about progressives who sat at his desk before him, he warned Trump-era deregulation of midsized banks "will result in a much higher chance of economic disaster, meaning more exposure for taxpayers."
The banking crisis has cost FDIC ~$23B so far.

Via nerve haver:
literally every emergency preparedness guide: "make sure you have a backup supply of essential medications!"
american health insurance companies when you try to refill a prescription at any time other than right before you run out: "lmao no"
@ChemicalEyeGuy I mean, if we’re rolling back maps to the 18th century, then the vast majority of present nations aren’t real. The Americas, Italy, Germany, Australia, everything that used to belong to the Ottoman Empire from Greece to Egypt…
