Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

As someone who has received one of his pillows as a gift, it does not surprise me in the least that the company is going under. Aside from his crazier than a shithouse rat politics, the lumpy sacks of industrial waste he passes off as pillows are the most uncomfortable thing I've ever laid my head on.

I worked at bed bath & beyond for a coupla years as a cashier. Had a helluva lot more of those things returned to us than we ever sold. 😂

This guy is such a joke. Apparently there is My Coffee now as well, and I know this because they have a contract with the company I work for to ship their products. So much of their stuff goes missing and is never claimed. Have not tried the coffee but I imagine it's foul.

More like poor brand management. One of Mike's fans(seriously they wanted to tell me all about him) told me he was a reformed crack addict.

[–] MrFlamey@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

From what I've seen of him, he's definitely not reformed.

Pretty sure the story I heard is that one time while doing a lot of blow, he apparently scrawled "My Pillow!" on every surface in his kitchen (or bedroom? I forget). When he woke in the morning, he took it as a sign to start a pillow company and "find Jesus".

But I can't find a source for that story at this point, aside from saying he was a cocaine addict - that is pretty well documented.

Awful news to receive right when Seth Meyers is on a strike.

[–] Tankaus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (2 children)

1st thing that came to mind! Bummed we don't get to hear Seth's impersonation.
