I almost feel bad to let our new hire realize how unhappy his new workplace actually is. He's just so damned upbeat, it makes your teeth ache.

It'd be really nice if I could go to Montana on a camping trip instead of what's actually going to be happening. If I go up.

Current status: Mom & Dad are either hospitalized or in end of life care. The home they built to be a lasting legacy is being prepped for sale in order to cover their end of life care. And the kids are coming to terms with shit that internalized when we were younger & thought that shit was normal

I'mma add these to my own platform. Which includes uncapping the house, some form of "Cursus Honorum" for political office, the abolition of lifetime appointments, wealth tax of 50% on every dollar over some number of millions, and robust antitrust law enforcement.

My 2-point reform platform: 1. Naming your product after sci fi requires a 10-page essay with your TM application to prove that you understood the source material; 2. CEOs of >$1B market cap companies must spend one day per year in a dunk tank, where anyone in America can pay $1 to drop you.

I need anyone I know in the Bay Area to consider opening their hearts & homes to a pair of orange babies. Orange cats are amazing & will unconditionally love you.

Bay Area friends: would you consider opening your home to these two cuddly cats? A friend found them behind a gas station. Their sibling, a black cat, got adopted, but it appears no one likes orange cats. They are being kept in a bathroom for the time being and need a home.

1 3 3/4 - depending on the cut & the skill of the chef, 3 could cause me digestive problems I cannot explain.

I get that Planet Peterson has always been "hurr-durr, you're dumb", but when he just lazily reads off ChatGPT answers, I'm not going to keep watching him. Be better than trash if you want viewers.

So I asked for flights leaving Norfolk on 9/3 and returning 9/8...

I am in no sense surprised by this.

Air War Dodgeball is a thing; you have air to air munitions (red balls), air to ground muns (green balls), patriot interceptors (yellow balls), and various infrastructure portrayed by cones also the "loggies" have to run around to recover the thrown balls www.maxwell.af.mil/News/Feature...

You should stop fapping to Viced Rhino content in order to ensure he gets a paycheck. I haven't made content in years, so you can safely fap to whatever parts of my back catalogue still exist.

I have had a handful of people tell me that they have masterbated/had sex to my content. Personally, I don't get it (not kink shaming, just kink asking why) But apparently that fact puts my career at risk because YouTube are a buncha prudes.

I've just watched a call-in show of Jimmy Snow & Matt Dillahunty where they listen to theists & here's my conclusion: They're feeding stupidity by giving them a forum they've never had before.They don't counter the stupidity because they give it respectability by listening to it.

Thank fucking god, we've got someone running for governor in Wisconsin who might actually move the fucking needle. For my fellow centrists, the DSA is not our enemy. They are our best chance for salvation. I don't agree with everything they say, but I agree with them more than establishment fucks.

Remember Chris Cillizza? He’s sweating.

If anything was needed to prove this to be true, Trump is that thing. We need to end the concept of "acting" appointments. Either you've got a Senate-confirmed position, or you do not.

What medical association or research organization green-lit this as an ethically valid study?

For one thing, a good number of them are truly convinced that after they’re out of power, Dems will bend to their base’s appetite for punishing team trump, including but not limited state or local prosecutions that aren’t covered by trump pardons. They really do think elite Dems are gonna do…

MacArthur (and Military Circle, and Chesapeake Square) are valid options to consider, but fundamentally this is not a good situation.

For the record, impeachment is the first step in prosecuting a sitting president. Especially under the current absurd rules laid out by the GOP-rigged Supreme Court.

Because they're traitors and should be treated as such.

Criminal Minds *could have been* the best police procedural drama in the world, except the missed a beat with Dr Reid. Instead of using him as the whipping boy who just gets screwed over and over again so femme audience members have someone they can "nurture" or "heal", they should have leaned in.

The lottery costs nothing, why is it now 5 dollars per ticket? the poor tax is getting insane even as we rush to defend reducing taxes on the wealthy.

Okay, what keywords do I need to use to do an insider trade with Kalshi based on my particular job title? Because that seems like the way to retire these days.

I follow fewer people than you, and yet, my feed is wildly more active than yours. This seems like a sharpshooter fallacy. You've chosen to listen to people who have not actually committed to this platform & you use their ambivalence to determine its viability, instead of looking at the platform.

Modern high speed rail could meet or beat these travel times, what are we doing, America? Even the shittiest high-speed rail would no more than double them.

You know what? fuck it all, I'm holding out for Samuel L Jackson.

You suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?

What the hell is "remigration" in the context of a South African colonist trying to emigrate to the United States?

Michael Feola@feolski.bsky.social · 2w ago

The world’s richest man, at it again. Reminder: “remigration” is far right code for the forced expulsion of ethnic “undesirables” in order to “purify” the nation.

Friendly reminder: Don’t label despicable people with medical or physical conditions they don’t have Having a physical difference (like cleft scars) is not a character flaw. Neither is ‘bed wetting’ nor ‘mouth-breathing’ Talk about how they are despicable, don’t use some feature others can’t help
