Weaponized incompetence my ass just weaponize it back. Once my dad tries to pull the “but I don’t know how to clean the counters as well as you” on my mom and she said “ok honey I’ll show you” and she made him stand in the kitchen and watch her clean the counters. Then she pulled out a bottle of chocolate syrup and proceeded to spray the entire kitchen in chocolate, hand him the sponge and said “okay now it’s your turn”

Weaponized Pettiness is an appropriate response to Weaponized Incompetence.

A tweet on October 29, 2019 from @DebbiBMoon which says:

Time to remember the best voting advice I ever heard: voting isn’t marriage, it’s public transport.

You’re not waiting for “the one” who’s absolutely perfect: you’re getting the bus, and if there isn’t one to your destination, you don’t not travel- you take the one going closest.

END ID

And in the meantime you at least try to get some seating and shelters at the bus stops to make things less shitty now instead of refusing to accept anything but bullet trains.

You fucking work for the slightly better, every minute. Not the perfect. The perfect is not just the enemy of the good; in this case, it murders it.

Age-old advice which is more relevant nowadays rather than less. This is the second iteration of it though. The original version is: “Never write anything in a letter you wouldn’t want to see in print.” Advice handed down by my mother from her forbears.

From the IT department. We archive EVERYTHING. And Outlook autosaves every couple seconds.

“Dance like no one is watching.  Email and text like it will one day be read in court.”

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

I think adults need summer vacation. Like let's just close down all our jobs for three months and play outside. Please. I'm so tired.

Love to see this post getting notes again. None of us are ok.

Did Lady Macbeth successfully utilize "girl power" when she convinced her husband to murder the king thus damning them both to a slow descent into insanity and eventual death?

[Image ID: A series of tweets on the recent VolksWagon election vote results posted at 12:50 AM, 4/20/24.

First tweet by Daily Union Elections, text reads: "I'VE SEEN ENOUGH! With roughly 50% of all possible votes in, UAW holds an insurmountable lead which would either require a massive tallying error or statistically improbable remaining vote share to flip. VW voted #UnionYes to join UAW."

Screenshot of a vote tally of UAW Volkswagon Election Vote Results: 1650 Yes Votes (75% Yes) in green text 549 No Votes (25% No) in red text

@ErikLoomis responds at 1:30 AM: "Shoutout here not only to the current workers and organizers in the South, but to the ones who never lived to see this day--Myles Horton and the others at the Highlander Center. Lucy Randolph Mason and those trying to get the CIO to do Operation Dixie right. So many."

@ErikLoomis continues: "This struggle has truly been historic, a century-long struggle. This is probably the biggest victory for American unions in the South in the history of the labor movement."

@DanaHoule responds: "It really is that big of a deal. It links Southern workers with the collective action institutions of the North. That's never happened in a big way before."

!! Thrilling. Here's some sources, both about the vote and about how regionally/historically significant this is!
