When did filling out a W4 get as complicated as doing your taxes? I have two jobs, but one is on a 1099, and my spouse works and makes more money than I do on my W2 job and apparently that all matters when you fill out a W4 now. 🫤
I know electoral politics is shit but what just happened in Tennessee is really fucked up, but at the same time I get mad that the democrats never have the vaginal fortitude to try shit like that.
Today I learned a valuable lesson about the difference of size between liters and pounds… in a totally related question why would anyone measure something dry in liters?
Poltergeist (1982). Steven Spielberg flick. Features a cute little girl. And killer possessed toys hiding under your bed. Trees smashing through houses and eating kids while they lay in bed. And people peeling their own faces off. 14/n https://youtube.com/watch?v=XKrY9bnPClA…
Roger Ebert used to host screenings of Citizen Kane where he and the audience would frequently pause the film to analyze and appreciate the artistry in each frame. I feel like this video deserves similar treatment.
Spotcheck Billy got down on his hands and knees
He said, "Hey mama, hey, let me check your oil alright?"
She said "No, no honey, not tonight
Come back Monday, yeah, you come back Tuesday and then I might”.
Did you or did you not understand that your accounts over $250k were not fully insured and backed by the FDIC? If you did, you’re just a grifter. If you didn’t, your an idiot and a grifter.
It’s painful for me to watch so many smart pundits and politicians on both the right and the left buy into a media narrative that seeks to blame “wealthy speculators” or “tech bros” or VCs for a banking crisis that ultimately started in Washington. Let me explain.
I stg if the fed bails out the fucking rich people again… we probably won’t do anything because we plebes have been conditioned our whole lives to think it’s what needs to be done and there’s no cohesive movement in this country to fight back.
The Fed may or may not realize it but it has created a two-tier banking system:
1. Tier 1: Systemically Important Banks. These are the "too big to fail" biggest banks. If you have money there, it's a true deposit. You can't lose it.
2. Tier 2: Everyone Else. If you have money…Show more
Gonna go out a limb here and say that the average “small business” doesn’t have an excess of $250k in the bank (most probably even don’t have $250k at all).
I learned of SVB’s precarious situation on Thursday. As a precaution, I logged into my SVB account and wired all our funds to a small account I maintained at a different bank. I left only $250K to cover outstanding expenses, including payroll set to pay the team on Friday (15/23)
Fun times we live in. Seems like we are gonna get the ~2000 dot com bust, with a little ~2008 bank bust at the same time. Record high inflation not seen since the 1970’s. Add in 2010+ catastrophic climate catastrophes (over and over). And reactionary culture wars (again).
Everyone always talks about the YouTube algorithm suggesting Nazi shit to watch no matter what you watch on there, but I watched one WWII docuseries on Netflix and now I have a whole suggested row of stuff that is all Hitler 😞
UNPOPULAR OPINION: it’s time to reclaim pigtails. think about it: they can be practical, protective, cute, pretty, fun, they show off your bone structure, lift your face, etc… i think it’s unfortunate that so many ppl see them as exclusive to children and think that when women…
I know I’m a bad abolitionist sometimes, but I really don’t mind seeing a powerful, wealthy, old, white, southern guy going to jail for murdering his wife and son.
Aight here’s mine. I cheated there is like way too many songs but I just listened to it and it’s fun, so fuck it.

What the fuck is that travesty of a haircut beard combo. He walked into the barbershop and said give me the Color Me Badd. Which one? All of them at the same time
Ok, a few thoughts this morning.
1) the rhetorical focus on the predominance of white males among mass shooters was partially initiated as pushback against racist "super predator" type fear mongering. That doesn't negate the fact that people of all races can enact violence. 1/5
