I hate to watch the internet die for 2 decades now.
That's not what "dying" looks like. That's "mutating", in the horror movie sense.
Why do people watch these turds? Who cares what some “influencer” does? It’s all fake anyway.
I mean, YMMV. Lots of people don't watch them. Lots of people just kinda flip through what's on their feed and land on whatever catches their eyes. Lots of people get this stuff jammed down their throats through different flavors of marketing, engagement, and native-ized slop.
And this is where people “get information”? How about Wikipedia?
Wikipedia isn't where people naturally go for fashion tips and entertainment promos.
I really think a lot of this boils down to "I've completely forgotten what it's like to be a teenager". Young people trying to act like old people. Old people trying to act like young people. A lot of it boiling down to hormones, boredem, and Freemium ad-slop being the entertainment they can afford.
Trump FUCKS businessman by DETAINING his foreign born WIFE.
"This is the worst thing that's ever happened to me," says old white rich guy from the VIP lounge of the club. "You have no idea how much I am personally suffering. Every day, I have to deal with all of the shit she used to handle. Ordering around the house staff. Handling the bills. Why do you think I married my secretary in the first place?! Nevermind how embarrassing it will be next time I'm out golfing with my MAGA friends."
None of this is a compelling argument to vote in the general for a fascist who happens to align with the democratic party.
Again, I go back to Justice, Fetterman, Cuellar, Newsom, Rahm Emmanuel if he tries to run again. There's no reason to support any of these people at any stage of the election process for any reason.
Outside of the races for Congress, progressives had a very good night in Michigan. They won multiple open legislative seats against establishment-backed opponents in Grand Rapids, Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Detroit. The DSA also flipped a seat in Detroit!
Socialists are absolutely running the liberal Dems off the board
Both parties play this game. They scream at their base "It's US or SOMEONE WORSE!" and then 40 years later you've got Hillary Clinton losing to Donald Trump.
Voting out of hysteria is exactly how you get people like Trump in office.
I think the better question is "What offer would cause you to leave the position?"
You live comfortably and have 1 year’s salary saved.
At 47? That sounds pretty bleak from a retirement perspective. If I could find a job in the six figure range, I'd bounce in a heartbeat.
I had a job kinda-sorta similar to this when I was in my 20s. Best decision I every made was to jump to a higher paying job at a faster growing company in the O&G sector. Ultimately tripled my salary over ten years, and I'm sitting on well more than one year's salary with all the same benefits and some additional perks.
You are given 6 college credits per semester to use at the local university. You’re currently working on a PhD.
What are you even going to do with a PhD once you've finally got it? This seems like a hobby more than a career plan.
Honestly shame on Beshear for not pushing this harder.
It's effectively a push, when Republicans control the Senate. A no-show and a no-vote are functionally equivalent under current circumstances.
I'm more upset with Senate Dems failing to clog up the appointment process for Lindsey Graham's seat. Mike Johnson sat on a Dem house seat for 50 days straight. Least Chuck could do is drag out confirmation for Lindsay's sister and make Collins take a few bullets by voting party line on some dogshit.
Can't tax the imaginary money. It would destroy the imaginary economy.
