Swifties wasted no time...
  • Heck, in the US I'd almost say all politics is political violence. It seems that anytime you advocate for nonviolence here you're called naive at best, murdered at worst. Plus, our whole society was built in blood.

  • I hate the rich
  • It looks like the average is 11 PTO days a year according to Forbes, with nearly a third of employees getting zero. I myself get 24 days a year with it going up to 29 in about a year. That said I'm terrified of being effed over by layoffs so I've been hoarding them like a dragon for the payout, which is arguably way way worse than having a nice federal minimum of PTO days.

  • Google threatened tech influencers unless they ‘preferred’ the Pixel
  • In published media it's getting really frustrating to find articles that seem like honest reviews. The NYT did an article on toaster recommendations and they praised one for having something like a 3 year warranty because "toasters aren't known for their longevity."

  • MyPillow Man Mike Lindell Ordered to Pay Legal Fees for Guy Who Proved Him Wrong at ‘Prove Mike Wrong’ Event
  • This jerk convinced my county to get rid of our voting machines. A county that's always been about 65% red 35% blue.

    Yeah I'm totally sure Biden stole the election by having a county in California vote the way they had been voting for decades.

  • DNC chair says majority of delegates have voted to give Harris the Democratic nomination
  • One could be a annoying and insist that until John Quincy Adams no president had any non-foreign-born parents.

    But more seriously, both of Andrew Jackson's parents were born in Northern Ireland.

    Edit: and Van Buren's parents were Dutch.

  • The problem with pronouns
  • As to not having neopronouns "back in my day", a lot of neopronouns are surprisingly old. Ze is from the 1860s, hir from the 1920s. Even relatively new ones like xe have been around since the early 70s.

    And they may be pointless for you, but they're valuable to some people so why be rude about it?
