I’m trying to track down payments for work I completed months ago. Why is it too much to ask that clients simply PAY ME

From the bottom of my heart, fuck these rapacious destructive assholes

"i have a unicycle for a frontal lobe and the devil rides its pedals" both killed me and brought me back to life

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

This seems fine, it’s not as if society is already having trouble agreeing about what’s real and factual and I’m sure this won’t make things much worse

"From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch." ― Edgar Mitchell

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

we gotta send so many guys to the Hague

I did it! It’s a first draft version but it’s wearable now!

sam altman only has three looks: i see a ghost, processing bad news, and jackass

I feel like doing A Craft for the first time in weeks!

This is like insisting that everyone who does crossword puzzles secretly just looks up the solutions to fill in the squares more efficiently and that’s actually the superior way to do crosswords. No? That sucks and maybe you should just get good?

This little piggy went to the market This little piggy stayed home Because the first little piggy had access to advanced Go To Market motions powered by AI. Here are 10 things children's nursery rhymes taught me about B2B sales.

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

"The tool requires expertise to validate, but its use diminishes expertise and stunts its growth. How does one become an expert? There are no shortcuts; there is only continuous hard work and dedication."

I’ve gone an entire month without paying bills and things are getting worse for me. $550 STILL NEEDED FOR OVERDUE BILLS FROM FEB. $2000 IS NOW PAST DUE FOR MARCH! Donate: linktr.ee/jskylerinc #TransCrowdFund #DisabilityCrowdFund #BeAPatron #BIPOCMA #HelpSky #BlackSky #LGBT 💸💕🏳️‍⚧️

Well, anyone left in DOJ who wants to talk, I’m on Signal at crg.32 Seriously, reach out. Would love to know what’s actually happening inside today. And at U.S. Attorney’s Offices. WSJ:

The vast majority of ppl who chose "AI" deferred to it w/o checking the answers. Call it cognitive offloading, technochauvinism, automation bias, or trust in numbers, people assume "AI"=Computer, Computer=Math, Math=Objectively Correct, :. "AI"=Objectively Correct, but ot just isn't necessarily true

(Mine is this tho)

I think about “normal to want and possible to achieve” all the time

My fave

Fundraiser for librarian Luanne James, who stood up to her rightwing library board that demanded she remove kids books with any trace of LBGTQ+ characters or content. "I will not comply." They sacked her and cops escorted her out. She's a hero. This banned author just donated.

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

This gets me every time

I laughed until I cried

OMG this made me remember No Bless Yous for Giacomo and I’m so happy

The original tweet was deleted, but I love this comic that was made based on it.

Good news! He brought that story to Bluesky! bsky.app/profile/seam...

Someone has probably said it but

Still lives in my head every day, although I do put sweetener in my coffee and I drive a Toyota

Still my all-time favourite.

My thinking on this case is that Clarence Thomas should have been removed from office immediately when we found out his wife had plotted to overthrow our constitutional republic

NASA employee: oh hey you guys are back early. Astronaut: *grabs plunger, gets back on rocketship*

forgot the most important of the genre

moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

I keep seeing "all authors use AI, the real issue is they're being forced to be sneaky about it" headlines. Full stop No. This is a lie peddled for normalization. It's schoolyard-level pressure tactics "C'mon, all the cool kids are already doing it. We won't tell. It's fine. We're on your side."

Everyone pony the fuck fpr the librarian who just got sacked for refusing to remove LGBTQ books from the kids' section of the library.

Ok, I have two hours. Do we think I can do my invoices, buy train tickets, and reconcile checks in that time? If I have extra bonus time, it’d be nice to wash the dishes too

Please

Albert Podrasky, Chief Justice Roberts’ grandfather, born in the U.S. to parents who were not citizens, was an American citizen. Why not the U.S.-born child today of a migrant from Africa? Or El Salvador? Or Honduras?

Following up Wolf Worm with a new Cat Sebastian book, for maximum emotional whiplash. Actually, max whiplash would probably be the other way around

Wait, I was going to buy myself a little treat yesterday and I forgot!
