You’ve heard of the Roaring 20s........

now get ready for the Screaming 20s - coming to a decade near you in 2020

[heterokatedison]

is it too early or can we start screaming now

[heterokatedison]

in retrospect perhaps we should have started sooner

I am aggressively fine with other countries treating Trump and his administration with absolute derision and contempt. Do it more. Do it harder. Go all in. Acting like this can work somehow is not working for any of us. Let's end the pretense.

So do people realize that we aren't building new train tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands, which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century

[queer-as-city-folk]

Also the alternative is more highways which destroy significantly more land for less capacity than railways. So the question is do you want to keep complaining about something that isn't happening and let the environment get damaged as a result or do you want to actually learn how things work

[catboymothman]

So, wait... Were the tracks not in use at all? Or was it like *only* commercial transport on those tracks? Either way, its good that amtrak will be able to use them again, but one would be much more frustrating

[queer-as-city-folk]

Almost all rail tracks in the US are either abandoned or only used for freight rail at the moment

[mudkipspropaganda]

Jesus, we really have no excuse for having such a lackluster rail system, do we?

[queer-as-city-folk]

Sure we do! The US government hate both rail and you personally

I opened my copy of The Tale of the Body Thief & immediately had to close it again because of this silly little annotation

They are doing this because Biden and the democrats PASSED A LAW capping insulin at $35. This isn't voluntary out of the goodness of their hearts. Democrats need to start being loud about their accomplishments on behalf of the American people.

[jeanjauthor]

The problem with Evil is that it is very LOUD and SCARY...so it gets all the attention.

The problem with Good is that it tends to be very quiet and soothing...so it often passes unnoticed.

We need to be LOUDER about our GOOD ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

[deanwinchesterapologist]

we have to start ridiculing climbing mount everest the way we've ridiculed diving to the titanic there's no reason to be dying up there why dont you do a nice normal sport

[work-avoidance-zone]

Shitty take. Diving to the Titanic shouldn’t be ridiculed either as long as you have proper safety measures in place, and on the submarine. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

[deanwinchesterapologist]

Okay. Have fun down there. Say hi to those other guys for us

In all seriousness though, Mount Everest is sacred to the Sherpa people who act as guides because of religious obligation, yet they have no official say over what is done with the mountain that has become covered in litter and corpses because of the tourism industry. These people repeatedly risk their lives because of the tourists and receive barely any recognition or respect for it, in fact just earlier this year a climber whose life was saved by his Sherpa guide blocked the guide on Instagram afterwards. We should absolutely be shaming people climbing Mount Everest.

[bratzboykai]

Not to mention the economic exploitation that the Sherpa face from and as a result of tourists/tourism and the Nepalese government itself as a result. Their labor and very lives are consistently exploited to meet the demands of Nepal's focus on climbing and mountaineering dependent tourism.

I told a kid in my class the other day that it was going to be the year of the tiger! This kid is a kindergartner, five years old.

Usually there’s some interest when I bring this up, but this kid sort of sat with that for a couple minutes, expression settling into a thousand yard stare. Just as I was wondering if something was wrong, he looked at me with his haunted eyes and asked, in a tone of resignation: “When are the tigers coming?”

I had to quickly reassure him that the year of the tiger was like…an animal assigned to the year, and not another plague or natural disaster! Between the Covid, lockdowns, and huge flood of cicadas last year this child probably decided that this was in line with how the world worked and was mentally getting his affairs in order.

‘​I guess a plague of tigers might as well happen’

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

Love untagged fandom posts with generic-named blorbos and absolutely no context clues. Is that Steve Irwin? Steve Harrington? Steve Rogers? Steve from Blues Clues? My mom's best friend's second husband Steve?

[theawkwardqueerturtle]

HOW DARE YOU LEAVE A MAJESTIC IDEA LIKE THAT IN THE TAGS

[homoqueerjewhobbit]

Finally, my tags passed peer review!

This one really does just gain momentum with every new word, huh?

by the way, it’s real bold of hollywood to be like “the writers and actors have unrealistic expectations, but WE know what we’re doing” when they got tricked into releasing morbius in theaters a second time.

Elon Musk Announces He’s Stepping Down As Twitter CEO; Unnamed Woman Replacing Him At The End Of June

“Excited to announce that I’ve hired a new CEO for X/Twitter,” wrote Elon Musk today on the platform. He then dropped another bombshell — co

Tempted to think of this merely as another stage of "What Fresh Hell Is This."

The glass cliff, on the other hand, refers to the phenomenon by which women are more likely to be appointed to senior executive positions during times of organizational crisis, making them less likely to succeed. These newly appointed executives may confront internal board resistance, operate with less time flexibility, and ultimately receive shorter tenure than their male counterparts. And, when a woman CEO is terminated from her position, she is more likely than not to be replaced by a male (the “savior effect”).

The ‘Glass Cliff’ Challenge For Corporate Governance

Responsible boards should reject traditional gender and leadership stereotypes in the executive selection process.
