Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Remember when we didn't know what Lloyd Austin did day-to-day? In fact, his biggest scandal was getting cancer treatment without telling anyone. Good times.

This is just politique de la respectabilité but the way dude in the beginning keeps looking them white people off with disgust is smoking me

there are parents just like you whose children are dying of a disease that has been ravaging humanity for a hundred thousand years, a disease we can treat, but Elon musk decided their lives were not worth the minuscule cost of treatment or prevention. that is who republicans like, it’s who they are
✈️ By the time war actually started, Germany was still leaning on older bombers while the “future fleet” was barely ready. ✈️ In Ep. 76, Dan Sharp explains shows how tech, ambition, and bad timing shaped what the Luftwaffe could actually do. Listen here: www.buzzsprout.com/2327200/epis...

Yup. A friend of mine is a career civil servant and sees the positive of things. But now she just doesn't want to talk about work.
Evie!@eve865.bsky.social · 2mo agoOne change from the Trump admin we don't talk enough about is the death of civil service as a career choice. Working for the federal government used to mean job security, good benefits, and a stable work environment not up to the whims of idiot CEOs. Trump et al have fed that into a wood chipper.
They had contracted Blue Angels for 43 years; 43 years The owner says she never received a personal notice that Hegseth was canceling her or any reminder that her contract renewal was coming up This is how the Trump administration treats people, especially Black people
Ambassador Ken Fairfax (ret)@portlandken.bsky.social · 2mo agoTales of everyday corruption. Pete Hegseth cancelled the $400,000 contract for making uniforms for the Blue Angels on the grounds that the contract with "The Sewing Box" was DEI since the firm is Black-owned. Instead, he awarded it to a Trump donor for $1,690,000, a 325% price increase!
Any historian who thinks general use ChatGPT-style LLMs understand and improve their research is just falling for the oldest grift of all. Mediums and mystics who claim they can read minds or talk to the dead: 1) Say something vague 2) Adjust when given more info 3) confidently repeat that back

The overwhelming right wing sentiment is that COVID was an engineered bioweapon that was also harmless. Trump overreacted to it by shutting down the country, then engineered a drive to create a vaccine that was the real bioweapon that killed millions, and it's Joe Biden's fault.
I'd make a joke like Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1977, dir. Passolini) but it's not even elevated depravity. It's taking Animal House seriously as your moral lodestar. It's Judge Holden hosting Jackass. It's not even as cool or dangerous as any of those. It's just pathetic.
The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?
