I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond. (There was near unanimous booing when the captain announced this)

“When I wrote that letter,” replied Darcy, “I believed myself perfectly calm and cool; but I am since convinced that it was written in a dreadful bitterness of spirit.” There are legions of guys on message boards and in people’s replies who need to have this hot-iron branded onto their asses.
Sorry, lunch is gonna take a second longer than I thought because my dog wants me to cook her an egg, and I’d already shut off the stove, so we gotta start that whole process all over.
Omfg this bittersweet, pensive moment is interrupted by Wickham walking in, and I reflexively gagged lmao

Trung Le Nguyen@trungles.com · 2mo agoSo I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.
Honestly, the most impressive thing about Supergirl in the recent film is that she speaks flawless English. That’s exceptional in a recent immigrant with PTSD who doesn’t even want to be here and wishes her cousin would stop bugging her to embrace her responsibilities and be a good immigrant.

“But the bigger problem is how much of the media of ‘the left’ is dominated by men who appear to have no understanding of sexual abuse or intimate partner violence, but do have a pretty hefty sexist streak that they either aren’t aware of or don’t care to remedy.” YES @juliedicaro.bsky.social

This is excellent. “They are the two ways a rational agent expresses the recognition that the productive game no longer pays. This is the Ponzi stage of being alive. It is what your aunt calls degeneracy. It is what the framework calls mathematics.”
George Monbiot@georgemonbiot.bsky.social · last mo.This is a brilliant essay, which, in my view, accurately describes the predicament of the post-Boomer generations, and the vast infrastructure of lies designed to disguise it.

This is fucking terrorism. Purpose is to frighten anyone else out of telling the truth about what it's like to work at Meta. I was privileged to write the introduction for her vital book. I was very much not the first person they asked. Most people were understandably too scared to do it.
