Heads up. He is/was in a lot of starter packs, too, so check yours if you've made one so you're no longer recommending a rapist.

Not for nothing, but I think a lot of people have wrongly settled on “Twitter became a right-wing cesspool because all the cool people left” instead of “All the cool people left because Twitter became a right-wing cesspool.”

when Bluesky doesn't like *my* posts

My right ear has had a fluid buildup behind the eardrum since the concert I went to last month. Everything sounds mostly normal (slightly reduced volume but not muffled) but my ear feels plugged. That was on the 13th. It's now the 9th. I'm over it, y'all.

One of the fundamental things we need to understand is that whatever we program computers to do will happen 100x more than it did before it was automated. That includes the good things and the bad things. Every problem in software is about to get way worse with more of it written by LLMs.

We can’t nominate any Democrat who doesn’t put Supreme Court reform at the top of their list.

I hate employers so much. Just despicable creations.

Important rules for the "age verification" era of the internet that we're living in: 1. Do not do age verification. 2. If you have to do age verification, cheat. Do not under any circumstances give them your real ID.

If you're looking at this going "Anna you work on tech, why don't you fix it." I think the majority of people who actually work on tech want to fix this, but we aren't being allowed to. And that's a huge reason tech workers are burning out so hard. We see the problems, but we don't get a say in it

joined this site almost three years ago me not a single solitary thing that has happened since has convinced me that arguing with people online is a good use of time

If you're going to post your stuff on Substack, I really wish you'd post it elsewhere as well somehow (I'm no expert on that part). Because some of us refuse to support hate speech in its myriad forms on Substack, but a lot of you are turning out killer content I bet.

“Voters are blameless and pure and it is 100% on the campaign to win them over” is a view that political campaigns have to hold, but the rest of society absolutely should not.

I know we get inured to stuff, but it is hard to fathom the cruelty here. At a time of tax cuts for the most powerful, they are trying to remove basic supports for the most vulnerable. The Trump administration's war on people with disabilities continues.

The Feds can try to end Bluesky as a communication and organizing tool for the political opposition, but they're too late. We've already blocked each other so hard no one has any idea what's going on.

Feeling this particularly hard lately.

All these festering toads feel regret literally only in one circumstance - when their own choices affect them personally and suddenly they are capable of experiencing human emotions again and running around performing victimhood. Lol fuck em

Getting myself all fancy for this interview call and putting a full button down tee on to complement these PJ pants.

I for one am perfectly happy to see Republican voters simply choose to stop voting. Their lives would literally improve upon doing so.

I will never believe a single 'They Tricked Me' article about Republican voters. Ever. Especially considering the rags that publish that consistently publish that narrative & also especially because, how many times you gonna fall for it man? You're not being tricked. You're doing fetish play.

"are you on xyz blocklist" look I have no idea, my notifs are full enough without me trying to investigate what someone I don't know at all thinks of me and tbqh it's not very interesting either, what do I care what you think if I don't know you, enjoy your thoughts and may they set you free

Hello, this is your long time doctor. Ahead of your appointment, please fill out these 800 forms providing us with information we already have. Thank you

Reminder that if your phone is too hot, do not dunk it in water, use lava. positive reinforcement always works best

if you post this clip, you should also post clips from the same episode of him saying the 2020 election was stolen, the civil rights movement was “disgusting,” and trump can’t be racist bc he has sex with black women. tucker didn’t have a change of heart over trump; he had a change in strategy

new scam alert! i know you lot know this, but all the same- please remember to always check the email address this kinda message comes from! if its not from the domain of the company it claims to be from, it's likely a scam.

I’m so tired of the tech hype machine. Idgaf how you’re optimizing with AI, what the hell are you doing for people? How are you making the world actually better? Idgaf what your job title is or what you’re selling. I could give two fucks about your manifesto or your stocks. Be a fucking human.

I want people to understand why expecting perfection from trans folks, queer folks, disabled folks, and immigrants is problematic. If the only thing keeping you from misgendering a trans woman or from calling for deportation of an immigrant, is their politics, you are part of the problem.

that they are freaking out this badly over a surtax on second homes worth more than five million dollars - the most excessive rich person thing imaginable, which doesn’t even affect most of them - really makes it clear how little attention you need to pay to the freak outs

That Men's Wearhouse tagline is seriously underestimating my capability.

The wait is over! You can now buy my Dark Science book (and much more) directly from my Topatoco store! topatoco.com/collections/...

I'm not out here screeching "NO FEDPOSTING, GANG" just to hear myself type, folks.

Lucked myself into at-cost tix to see Bloodywood and The Pretty Wild tonight. Don't know much of either but I absolutely love a couple choice tracks from each, so this should be a blast!

Another wild fear tactic being pressed on tech workers right now is the “permanent underclass.” Idk anyone who’s is worried about this myself. But to those who are worried about this: Class struggles will not be fixed by getting “in” on AI. It’ll be fixed by collective action and labor rights.

Always remember to wave at the seminary while you're on your way to engage in debauchery. It's just polite.

I did not spend years being told that as a poor teen mom I was responsible for the downfall of society to be told that having *fewer* poor teen moms is the downfall of society. Teen moms can’t win!

Being told*, on the last week of a contract the client declined to extend, how the team doesn't know what they're gonna do without you because you're the only one who does <x> is bittersweet. *by teammates and immediate management who have no say in creating openings

the great thing about having a dark cat that you can barely see at night, is that sometimes you lean over and are like, oh there's my little baby down there, aw there you are little baby, how are you little baby, goodnight little baby, and you're talking to your jeans

We’re on strike today! Support our fight for a fair contract by NOT visiting the @propublica.org website or engaging with ProPublica stories today. Tell ProPublica’s management you won’t cross the picket line: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

I don’t give a flying fuck if Tucker Carlson, MTG, Candace Owens, and Nick Fuentes all hate Trump now. They made this monster. They will burn in hell for this shit.

Monk, pulling monk bullshit: "I assume lava is difficult terrain?" GM: "BOY HOWDY IS IT"

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

Someone with the handle @velocity69.bsky.social is sharing a video with the caption: "The highest quality video of the moon was just released… so beautiful * Artemis II" It's gone viral, but it's not from Artemis II. If you've shared it, you might want to un-share.

Chat, is it a bad sign that when I run out of free likes on the dating app, the feeling I get is relief? Putting myself out there is new and uncomfortable and I don't like it.

A few have suggested that some aspects of this mission--joy, international teamwork, diversity--are being played up to stick it to the hateful attitude of the administration. But I don't think it's that. I think it's just that those things are essential to and inseparable from a mission like this.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

every day I get up and spend time with my beautiful wife and my adorable kids and my friends and the people who live in my phone and I see so much of the good in humanity and I wish some of it, any of it, would rub off on the people running the world we are so much better than this

one thing i will say as a general statement to all coaches of all teams at all levels: if you’re going to credit god for a win, i wanna see you out there after a loss being like “yeah, god fucked us over today, really let us down out there”
