I’m clearly not up-to-date on Michigan politics. Why would Shapiro tank her in Michigan?

A year ago, I didn’t know Spanish. Now, I can watch TV shows for natives in Spanish and have conversations in Spanish (despite making some mistakes obviously). Dreaming Spanish and CI is just a really easy way to learn a language. You don’t need to study. You just watch videos and listen to podcasts that are easy enough for you to understand. Overtime, “easy enough for you to understand” will increase in difficulty. (If you know nothing when you start, then the only way you can understand the videos is by drawings and gestures. That’s fine though, because your brain will still figure things out.)

I know is bad, but the unofficial Dreaming Spanish subreddit is a great community. It’s very positive and people share their progress.

“If Harris took a moderate position, she could undermine Republican claims that she is an elite cultural liberal,” Leonhardt wrote. By a “moderate position,” Leonhardt seems to mean banning access to hormone therapy for trans youth—a decidedly right-wing political position that, through misinformed and misleading media coverage, particularly from the New York Times (FAIR.org, 5/11/23), has become more politically acceptable.

It Is Journalism’s Sacred Duty To Endanger The Lives Of As Many Trans People As Possible

The most basic principles of socialism like checks notes letting your employer keep extra value from you by turning down extra money and having to work as a wage slave when you’re 80.

Most employers offer a match on 401(k) contributions. For example, you contribute $500 per paycheck and the employer contributes $250. By turning down this money, you are literally letting the company you work for keep extra money that would otherwise go to you. Fuck companies. Accept the match, so they can’t keep that extra money. You worked for it.

I’m a Marxist and want the downfall of capitalism. However, I’m investing in total market index funds in case capitalism remains the dominant economic system for the rest of my life, because I don’t want to be a wage slave when I’m tired, old woman.

I’m a completely normal girl, feds. I’m not one of those trans people. Here you can see all of my identification to prove it. No, I’m sorry to say I lost my original birth certificate, but I do have this replacement I got in the mail a couple years ago. I hope that’s fine 😊

We are so fucked

According to the New York Times, Kennedy claimed that the worm that infected him “ate a portion” of his brain. Can tapeworms “eat” brain tissue?

SHARIF: Discussions of eating brains are better left in zombie movies than in legitimate scientific discourse. The parasitic infections that impact the brain do not eat the brain. Now, that doesn’t mean that they cannot damage brain tissue. But that kind of inflammatory language indicates a lack of scientific literacy and is pretty concerning.

Okay, but what does it eat to survive, if not the brain?

My rage against capitalism due to growing up in poverty will never subside.

My manager just told me that his manager wants to PIP me. I’m my team’s sole web developer, but our team hasn’t had any web development work for the past few months due to an initiative to improve security. I’ve been struggling with doing this back end work, because I have literally no experience doing it. My manager told me he won’t PIP me (only my direct manager can), because he knows I’m doing my best and he’d be screwed when we have web development work in a couple months. This is mildly reassuring, but his manager doesn’t like him, so I’m not sure how long my manager will stay at the company either
