fucking 27 club ☹️

naturally this "travel expert" fails to consider that the primary reason people don't check bags is that it is NOT free. I'm paying $300 for a flight and $80 for a dingy cardboard motel bed, I'm not gonna throw away $50 in checked bag fees just to "float through the airport" to the luggage carousel where I have to wait for my bags with 50 other people who want to be anywhere but there.

if by that you mean fatigue with other voters, then yeah. this was the first year I didn't vote in the primaries because I genuinely had no reason to. there were no progressives on the ballot and even if there were, they wouldn't have won, and I just can't be fucked to waste time voting for yet another bland moderate who's going to lose to Ted Cruz. I've spent a quarter of a century voting to try and change this state and I'm tired of getting shot in the face for my efforts.

LMAO no they don't. exhibit A: the Dobbs decision

it is appalling that this is even a question.

which was a stupid and dangerous concept rooted in toxic work culture to begin with

or maybe those classmates spread the illness to their friend the day before and now the symptoms have incubated? y'all know you're contagious BEFORE you feel sick too, right? I mean if this "disengagement" theory was true then those students wouldn't bother to come back, especially if they're using remote learning to meet state education requirements.

because it's NOT??????? literally, if the pandemic taught us anything it's that you don't have to be physically present somewhere to be involved. you can work FROM HOME, you can learn FROM HOME. just because you're not in the building doesn't mean you've fucked off from all your responsibilities.

OH MY GOD WHAT A FUCKING CONCEPT, STAYING HOME WHEN YOU'RE SICK, YOU MEAN THE TEACHERS AREN'T JUST JOINING IN THE NATIONAL HOOKY EPIDEMIC???

THE MISREPRESENTATION OF THIS PHOTO HOLY SHIT. they want you to think there's only 3 kids in a classroom during school hours? first of all, those are cafeteria tables. second, look at the light outside. it is barely past dawn. those are not the only kids who showed up for the day, those are the teachers' kids first in line for breakfast. fucking WOW.

so now we're doing the "if I have to suffer, everyone has to suffer" work culture thing? if your employer has a flexible remote-work policy and your co-workers aren't in the office, then maybe they're WORKING REMOTELY? or, God forbid, actually sick and trying not to infect you? (frankly, all work that can be done remotely should be done remotely. it's better for the environment, work-life balance, productivity, just not office building landlords' profit margins.)

you means students across demographic groups and class sizes get sick?!?!?!?!?!??????

it's almost like COVID STILL FUCKING EXISTS

(this is going to be another enraging corpo-conservative piece of hot garbage, I can already tell)

SHE DIDN'T MEAN IT LITERALLY

incorrect, his legacy will forever be killing the public option in the ACA. fuck that smarmy bastard.

perhaps conservatives could finally consider that reality has a liberal bias? I mean if you ask an artificial intelligence if it's moral to curbstomp Mexican immigrants, I don't think it's "woke" or "biased" to say "no that's horrible and you're a horrible person for wanting to do that"

the hell are people supposed to do, get dropped off in Brooklyn and walk? it's busy because PEOPLE WORK THERE

he can burn in hell with Kissinger

"shares continues" great journalism NYT

okay, so they clearly know what they're doing? or perhaps sometimes the problem is that literally everybody claims membership to the same party whether they belong there ideologically or not. you can't have a liberal democratic party that includes conservative hawks.
