The report has been released. I've read up to page 15 so far.

It's surreal to read about another country, actively trying to throw an election for that foreign countries preferred candidate.

The report also states that The Trump campaign and Russia did coordinate and cooperate, but under current law it can not be charged as collusion, due to the fact that The Trump campaign did not actively order the specific hacking of emails, or distribution of Social Media propaganda.

It's kind of like wanting and taking money that someone else stole, but you aren't guilty because you didn't steal it.

No wonder Trump has been freaking out. This is pretty damning for him.

Barr is a partisan hack, this is clear.

"snip a lot of anger"

And honestly.. I don't know what to think about it.

So basically, a female coworker of mine was sharing around a Facebook post making fun of men by basically saying you have to text your husband two separate texts when asking questions because if you text him two questions in the same text, you're only going to get one answer. Supposedly saying men have horrible attention spans.

When we got off work Saturday, while waiting for everyone to get their stuff, that coworker was telling everyone the joke, with a lot of the female coworkers laughing more than the male ones (honestly, I don't remember all too well who all was laughing). Even my supervisor, who is female herself, was getting in on it relating her personal stories with her husband.

This afternoon, I received an email from her apologizing for the behavior of the female staff that Saturday night, and she spoke to the staff involved. She said even though people were just "joking", she realized that these kinds of jokes were microaggressions and were not to be encouraged.

I completely forgot about that Saturday night. Those comments literally did not register. I just got in my car and went home. But then I realized... after she apologized for them... I think I was a bit bothered by them. Our staff is mostly female (all the librarians are) so I've put up with their stereotypical humor about men, grown a thick skin if you will. It's always, "Lucas understands. He knows we're all kidding. He loves us." But to be honest, it does get a bit old. Every time I wanted to make a joke about women, I was always hesitant and the rare times I did, I got glares and whatnot. So, the double standard really.

It's just... I've never been on the receiving end of an apology for someone making stereotypical humor at my expense. Like I said, before she apologized for it, I never thought twice about it, so it's left me a bit confused. I kinda wished she didn't apologize, because now the rest of the staff might feel like they have to walk on eggshells. I don't know if she came to the conclusion to apologize on her own, or if one of the male staff felt offended and complained, but I'm really hoping this doesn't affect our interactions in the future. That's usually what happens when someone complains about office behavior; people become more silent.

Anyway, what are your thoughts?

I hope they can and will rebuild it.
