One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.

Ending 2025 with a test result showing surging CMV which means drug resistance developed. Next line med destroys kidneys, so... yay.

Is it weird to get a kotatsu as a white person, they just seem super comfy, i swear it's not a weeb thing

Why the fuck does he think I should have to stop and explain my liver transplant and subsequent complications to him to be justified in keeping myself alive

Legitimately scared going into the new year about just everything lol My now wife still hasn't found a job after years of applications, i don't consider my own job remotely secure, my survival due to transplant is now tied to insurance, scared of being stuck in the south as trans, etc. etc. etc.

It's weird how there's a shitload of content created for mobile games, some of it very good, that just sort of disappears forever when servers shut down.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

I watched a youtube video and now I want to quit my job and just rebuild old gameboys again

What the fuck why was that minecraft video so good

5 day trip to visit family for first time in 6 years (covid then personal health). Spent half the time sick from pure exhaustion I think. Got back Friday and I'm still so exhausted I can barely move.

Booo. Im sick and want chinese but the place i want to order from has a 60 dollar minimum (direct not uber/doordash).

Obsessed with the fact the animal free (vegan?) ramen i found has quotation marks around miso the same way another flavor does tonkotsu.

For these people family is a performance. "That bitch Martha had a better Christmas card than ours last year" type shit. They also won't hesitate to use gen AI to change their daughter's girlfriend into a boyfriend and other insane reality breaking things just to chase their image of perfect.

Who else up early the morning they need sleep to be ready to drive 6 hours in the first travel experienced since becoming crippling ill 4 years ago having a massive panic attack about what would happen if lost job? Just me?

BY THE WAY I DIDNT SCREAM IT LOUD ENOUGH FOR BUT @ellieprobably.bsky.social IS NOW WIFE (REAL)

Once again I come to you bringing the revelation that the best soft drink is apple soda. (Apple Sidra or Sidral Mundet > all.)

“Back in June, medical researchers discovered a similar racial bias in large language model (LLM) psychiatric diagnostic tools. In that case, results showed AI tools often proposed “inferior treatment” plans for Black patients whenever their race was explicitly known.”

I've been telling people at work this shit was gonna happen and needed to be researched for years. It's blatantly obvious. Biases are just too baked into the history of healthcare, and all these models do is extrapolate probability from historical records (as training data).

Made the mistake of reading a reddit thread (I could stop right here tbh) about a cannonically intersex anime character and it's insane to me how people are still so blatantly ignorant and weird about something relatively common.

Even pre LLMs imagine anyone *loving* Windows. People *tolerate* Windows, and less so every day.

Putting deliveries on hold while traveling for the first time in a while revealed to me that both fedex and ups websites fucking blow, like completely, literally broken on mobile. Yet the USPS site? *Excellent*. Funny that, how the public service is vastly superior.

You know how racist a country gotta be to give everybody a 60 year taste of what being closer to equality could potentially look like & then just roll all that shit back?

My japanese coffee is dragon quest branded fuck yes

They're religious. The BELIEVE. The cut costs. They fire their staff. They don't have employee retention. They use terms like "tribal knowledge" (which is insensitive but that's another thread) while not knowing what it is. They don't believe in documentation. I mean, they're idiots.

Just saw a Lyft self driving car that had "Hi my name is Mammals" on the side and 1) that's a weird name, 2) no sir, no you are very much not mammals.

Getting stuffed with meat on my wedding night (going to all you can eat japanese bbq with my lesbian wife)

My phone is now trying to correct lol to loli so thats fun

this is PRETTY bad www.fda.gov/inspections-...

oh my god

Are all the children taking up all the extra vaginas and balls, is that why it's so hard to get them as an adult, is there a testicle shortage

question here... what the fuck Denmark why is this a group you have in the first place

As someone who has suffered with end stage liver disease, I am having a real hard time processing this one.

"Satire", fuck you snopes it's purposeful misinformation to rile up violence against a vulnerable minority

this is not behavior becoming of a FIFA Peace Prize recipient.

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Should i play a game newer than a decade old for a change of pace

in Georgia we call ours 'Coca Cola' or 'Coke' if you're cool

When I was in the hospital after surgery and didn't shit for 5 days I could still walk, guess I'm built better

Me: people should observe common strategies seen internationally like masking on public transit, but actively harassing people about not masking 24/7 in 2025 is not a valid PH strategy. Weird guy: you told someone to mask in an airport at the height of a surge years ago, gotcha! ????

Who is this for??? And why are all these people fine with the right wing propaganda studio?????? Like... is this really what you're gonna sell out any remaining bit of decency over?

Man, what? Most of the world engages with large scale Chinese trade and has for decades or more, what exactly has changed? Trump is the most fairweather person there is, he's trying to fight and be best friends with *everyone* *simultaneously*, that is hardly some global strategic refactioning.

if u r a trans woman u have to remember this . if u forget something everything else then good. if u forget nothing else then good. but u have to remember that this man Did That for a BOYMODER

i stand by this statement every year

Oh shit new old republic game
