Goes to show you that these companies truly don’t give a damn, no matter how many years of your life you give to em. They’ll give you cheap ssa flowers as you retire, replace you and keep it moving like it’s the local car wash.
This genuinely made me sad for her. 💔

one of the most fascinating (and bleak) aspects of society in 2026 is the outright dismissal of retail & service jobs as illegitimate, even though every single one of us relies on these workers every single day. mind boggling.

Margin Call's CEO is named after Dick Fuld, the man who steered Lehman Brothers into a $613 billion bankruptcy, the largest in American history. Then the movie hands him the one decision Fuld never made.
Tuld walks in at 4am, asks what the problem is, and lands on one answer. Be first. Sell every toxic asset before the Street figures out what everyone's holding.
That scene has a real-world twin, and it didn't happen at Lehman.
On December 14, 2006, Goldman's CFO David Viniar called a meeting because the mortgage desk had lost money ten days in a row. The meeting ran three hours over a two-inch-thick position report, and his instruction to the desk was to get "closer to home." By February 2007 Goldman had blown past neutral into a full net short on US housing. Lehman went the other direction, kept piling into real estate through 2007, and filed on September 15, 2008.
So J.C. Chandor, whose father spent 40 years at Merrill Lynch, wrote the fantasy in the days after Lehman fell. He took the CEO who waited and gave him the move of the firm that sold first.
Fuld's name, Goldman's playbook.
The movie itself cost $3.5 million, shot in 17 days, 80% of it on the 42nd floor of One Penn Plaza, a trading floor a real firm had just vacated. Irons was on set for two of those days. The crash wrote the script and emptied the set.

MARGIN CALL (2011) saves Jeremy Irons for nearly the final stretch, then gives him one of the movie’s best entrances. John Tuld walks into a room full of people panicking about billions and casually asks, “So what’s the problem?” Perfect.
What supporting or even bit-part actor completely stole every scene they were in?
Not necessarily the biggest performance or the most important character. Just that actor who walks into a scene and suddenly becomes the only person you can watch.
Jack Black in HIGH FIDELITY (2000), Sam Rockwell in MOON (2009), Brad Pitt in TRUE ROMANCE (1993), James Gandolfini in TRUE ROMANCE (1993), Pete Postlethwaite in THE LOST WORLD: JURASSIC PARK (1997), Chris Tucker in THE FIFTH ELEMENT (1997), Marisa Tomei in MY COUSIN VINNY (1992) and Stephen Root in OFFICE SPACE (1999) are all perfect examples.
Sometimes a movie can have an incredible lead cast and still have that one supporting actor who shows up for five minutes and somehow makes you wish the entire movie was about them.
Who’s your ultimate scene stealer?

Nick Chubb says his obsession with greatness costed him the ability to be present in life, and influenced his decision to retire
“I didn’t listen to music. I kind of just liked being aware of my surroundings. I guess it sounds kind of corny, but I didn’t have headphones. I’d kind of be lost in my thoughts. During games, it was like a blackout. That’s why people say I didn’t talk on the sidelines. I didn’t, ’cause I was so locked in on what was ahead of me.”
“It’s like I wasn’t even there. And I would snap out of it when we were winning or when the game was over, and I would just kind of come back to myself. So that’s kind of why I needed to stop playing football, because I was never present.”
“Even in the offseason, I’d be at home, and I’m just thinking about, okay, tomorrow I need to go harder in the weight room. I need to run faster. I need to hit these numbers. I’m just always constantly, over and over, like, how can I get better? I want more. I want to do more. Just nonstop, just wanting to be the best and be my best and work hard.”
“And I look up, like, 30 years old, and I’m like, okay, there’s some things in life that I haven’t accomplished or I haven’t done just being a human, not an athlete. So that kind of led to me wanting to stop, more than just my injuries. Just living my life, living the life that I want to live.”

Please listen to this message from Austin Rivers!

I hate to admit how much my fantasy team’s success in my favorite league impacts my mental health when I lose

This is a guy you want coaching your middle schooler. No yelling, no demeaning, no anger. Just very clear intensity and high expectation of what every kid can directly control themselves.
🚨🚨HELL OF A COACH🚨🚨
#NFL legend Greg Olsen told his MIDDLE SCHOOL players he will BENCH anyone who doesn’t block and give maximum effort.
“I don’t care who it is, you’re out”
“You can go fill the water bottles up, and we’ll put somebody else in”

They are never going to give you $9,000 to stay home with your kids. Just like you never got your DOGE check, tariff refund, cheaper groceries, $2 gas, a healthcare plan, or 600% off prescriptions.
At some point, being this gullible becomes a fucking choice.

This is exactly why social media has people feeling like they’re failing at life. There was NOTHING wrong with working at Home Depot at 21. Yachts, high rises and designer bags aren’t the definition of success. Stop measuring your life against somebody else’s highlight reel.
Trinity Tatum opened up about where she was a year before winning Love Island USA
"A year ago today, I was 21, working at Home Depot, having a mental crisis. I’d cry before going into work because I’d see people my age on social media on yachts, in high-rises, with all these bags and purses, and think, ‘What am I doing wrong? How am I going to get successful?"
"And a year later, I've won a very popular love show; I have an amazing boyfriend, an amazing support system, and offers from people who didn't even know I existed."

Let me get this straight... OpenAl was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. "To benefit humanity." Then he raised billions of dollars. Then he closed the source code. Then he converted to for-profit. Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone. Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models. Now he's on stage saying you'll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter. He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he's going to bill you to use it... Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they're not even hiding it anymore...
