It’s a summer of playing hooky: feeling pressured not to take their earned vacation, Americans are finding a loophole

Jump

  • I hate how these articles always manage to blame workers, particularly millennials or gen z for being lazy. People remote in from vacation because they feel guilty from being away from work or are specifically pressured into not taking vacation. It's a toxic work culture.

    • A bare breast and ‘civil war’: MAGA diehards showed up at Trump Tower - and it got weird

  • That's the most aggressive flashing I've ever seen.

    • FBI arrests 'dreaded' Jan. 6 defendant they say rammed 'Trump' sign into police line

    Jump

  • Well that’s an unfortunately worded headline. “dreaded” as in the noun, of having dreadlocks. Not “dreaded” as in the adjective, regarded with great fear. Although this does spark an interesting thought. Apparently dreadlocks originated from the English invaders in the colonial world, as they encountered native tribes with “dreadful” hair.

    • Hour long sit-down interview with President Biden and Howard Stern. No handlers, just the two of them in a room.

  • “Biden can recommend that Congress undertake many other legal reforms that are not constitutionally barred, and he could also take some limited actions based on his own authority. These could remove some obstacles to getting an abortion.” Basically abortion must be codified at the state level.

  • Let me have the unfortunate privilege of introducing you to Terrisa Bukovinac, a forced birth democrat who is essentially running a single issue campaign. Her website is full of shock stories and hypocrisy. Would not recommend.

  • That would’ve been “her dick”.

    • Tractor-trailers with no one aboard? The future is near for self-driving trucks on US roads

    Jump

  • The issue is with how we prioritize rail. When grade crossings are installed, they are the least path of resistance, but also are the biggest obstacle in planning. If we really want to see better rail, we need to pay for the infrastructure (ie, elevated crossings). That’s not to say every route needs the best infrastructure, but at least the busiest.

    • Tractor-trailers with no one aboard? The future is near for self-driving trucks on US roads

    Jump

  • The rail industry would be much better off being better regulated and with large rail companies broken up.

    • Tennessee legislature bans local cities and counties from passing their own red flag laws

  • I’m sure this is totally unrelated to that Tennessee teacher who menacingly mentioned her firearm on her possession during an argument. But what could anyone do to prevent such a horrible tragedy?

  • Why would people from Denmark, Switzerland, or Norway want to live in the US? I’m sure the US ranks lower in most metrics against them 😟. He’s literally just listing countries he believes are majority white.
