I love ladies who can cuss.
I stopped going to big concerts altogether about a dozen years ago because of the price gouging. It is indeed robbery.
How could Hysteria NOT mention that un-gerrymandering Michigan was key turning that state around? Let's all work for banning gerrymandering.
McMorrow 2028!
As a PhD student rn, the only reason I can stay in academia is cause my husband has a better paying job. In Pennsylvania our salary is better than California but it’s only ~30k/yr. In my program we only get paid at the end of the month (only a day before rent is due), no parental leave, and barely any vacation days. And this is coming from a Bio student which have some of the best pay in academia
The part of the Michigan story that was skipped is they had a citizen referendum pass in 2018 that created an independent committee to draw voting districts. This non-partisan redistricting is a factor in how Michigan was able to turn blue. Getting rid of gerrymandering is the best way to make more states blue. Ranked choice voting (although results take longer) also help people to vote on issues and candidates over just voting by party.
Katie Hobbs! Karen Bass!

K SEGAL…
So happy to be in the blue mitten! Big Gretch and feminist fam make me proud 👏
I was paid 21000 dollars a year by uc when I was a ta in 2020…. Most went to my rent….
McMorrow for a better tomorrow!
I bet the housekeeping doesn't even make 24 k at start.
Ticketmaster BS "unprecedented demand." The demand was entirely presale with fan specific codes. They knew exactly what the demand was ahead of time. 😒
To add to your musical facts: Katie Sagal was a backup singer for Bette Midler, Bob Dylan and Etta James!!
Mallory McMorrow is wonderful!
Yeah but you still lost the house and popular vote by about 5 million give or take soooo 🤷♂️
Whoa I had NO IDEA about this Univ of California strike! I’m RIVETED.
“Convenience fees” used to mean something when buying a ticket online was the lazy person’s alternative to standing in line to get a wristband that gives you the chance to stand in another line to buy a ticket (thereby inconveniencing yourself)… but now that there is NO OTHER WAY to buy a ticket or pay a bill or do pretty much anything, they can take convenience fees and shove them!
Thinking back on it, I wish I hadn't watched Married With Children because it was low brow and crass, but, at least it's good to know that it didn't reflect how the staff and crew treated each other.
I LOVE McMorrow! I love that she's used her unexpected fame to push for greater change at the State level, and isn't doing the typical politician -y thing of pretending to run for one office while actually having an eye on something else. We need more state-level legislators who care like she does and who use their talents to improve and strengthen her community. All these amazing women winning in Michigan! 💖🎉
💙
The way I CHEERED when I saw that you ladies had Mallory McMorrow on again! Thank You ALL!
(sorry i love your show so much but i think that it's diffusion if not through water; osmosis is through water).
Talk about your unforced eras…
Guys, is anybody checking the rest of the cast of The Sweetest Thing for MS? Is Cameron Diaz alright?
Love this show!!
👍👍👍
As a grad student in a state school in the east coast where the living cost is pretty darn expensive but is still below California: I am paid slightly above $30k. It's definitely not much better, but hearing that UC grad students are paid $24k SHOCKED me. I acknowledge that many of my peers in other state schools have different experience, but California definitely needs to catch up with other states.
