I suspect my supervisor has hit the "oh shit, I need to justify my existence" stage because the new boss expects him to know what he's doing and he has no fucking clue (despite having been at his job for two years. I keep getting emails that are clearly "I need to look busy and managerial."

a/s/l?

morning my (US) ADHD homies today's the last day to file your taxes (or for an extension)

If you see this, post something you saved because it's funny.

this is both a sick burn and a painful truth

Theology's API is surprisingly well-documented. An interfaith API call recognizing a valid, if foreign, authentication protocol.

I know most of the media I remember exists, but damn were a lot of them trippy and/or traumatizing as hell. A list early 90s weirdness: The Secret of NIMH Little Nemo in Slumberland All Dogs Go to Heaven Pirates of the Dark Water The Pagemaster My Girl Pete & Pete David the Gnome

News is rough these days. Take this as a reminder that it doesn’t have to be.

If the Pope isn’t supposed to fight crime then why does he have that big computer in the Popecave?

it is ridiculous the number of men this could apply to

Behold St. Peter’s Square, completely empty of fucks to give about whether Donald Trump approves of Pope Leo.

Well, if nothing else I filed my taxes this weekend.

Whittaker is my favorite character on The Pitt because he's the only one who doesn't get Trauma™️ (and drama) in everything. Everyone else is like, "I have personal issues that influence my relationships and patient care," and he's like, "I'm just here to be a good doctor and do my job."

I know it's a ways off, but It Happening on the Fourth of July would be absolute poetry.

I would really prefer not to be twenty-seven issues in a trench coat

Another beautiful day where my desire to go outside is steadily dropping. It's no fun to go out by yourself and darkness is so, so late that it would be a pain to lug my tripod until it is dark enough to use it.

Chips and salsa is a perfectly acceptable dinner

Scientists isolate once-theoretical anticharisma particles.

No, but I didn't know to account for the undiagnosed ADHD and the chronic depression.

For evangelicals, the Biblical God’s love of murder is a feature, not a bug

happy The Confederacy Lost The Damn War Day to everyone who celebrates, and a hearty fuck you to everyone who doesn't celebrate

Splitting the word helicopter by meaning isn't 'heli' and 'copter' but 'helico' (spiral) and 'pter' (wing) and that's neat.

Now, I'm not a programmer, but I have read enough rants to know that computers and time are not friends. And everyone knows LLMs and counting are not friends. So why do people think using ChatGPT as a TIMER is a good idea?

My supervisor (who is clueless about the programs he is supposed to run, despite being here for two) just said he used ChatGPT to understand one of the program guides. Reader, my soul left my body. @infinitescream.bsky.social

The amazing thing about writing is it's basically time travel and whenever I think about that it blows my mind. It's a genuine miracle. I mean, just think about it: a Chinese general from 2,500 years ago can point out the President of the USA is a fucking idiot. It's incredible.

Does anyone else find it gross when writers make male characters trans because they want to write PIV sex without any extra work? But they don't put much effort into writing the character as *actually* trans besides some throwaway mentions of top surgery or binders or t-shots. We hates it, precious

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was a black woman in a pantsuit with the nuclear launch codes

Let me just say I am very thankful I have therapy at 8 tonight

USPS is the only delivery service in the country that delivers to every address. And if you don't have a deliverable address, you get a free post office box. Fedex and UPS are under no such obligation. The GOP have been trying to destroy USPS for decades. Don't let them win.

I just listened to the longest distance conversation in the history of humankind and both of the voices were female. There might be something in my eye. #ArtemisII

QOTD @garius.bsky.social: [on podcast] MI actually went as far as 11. @araina.bsky.social: British intelligence goes to 11. Readers, I almost irrigated my sinuses with rum.

Virtual volunteer opportunity!

Yeasted or very carefully unleavened, we wish the Northern Hemisphere a happy Spring!

It's always hilarious when I have to teach autocarrot new words not because they are slang or swear words but because I have swallowed more dictionaries than it was programmed with. ("milquetoast" is too a word)

Does anyone know anything about emotional attunement and how to improve it?

The funniest Easter story you will ever read.

Élisabeth Thible, (1757 – 1785), was the first woman to fly in an untethered hot air balloon. She was a professional opera singer, and during her first flight, sang several operatic duets whilst also feeding the balloon's firebox, dressed as the goddess Minerva. #CelebratingWomen

In honor of Good Friday/Easter this weekend, I bring you the Tumblr heritage post by gallusrostromegalus, the 1969 Easter Mass Incident. www.tumblr.com/gallusrostro...

THIS. The vast majority of the insights I depend on as a writer (and digital artist) have arrived as a byproduct, usually serendipitously, of the “grunt work.” There is NO Quick Easy Trick into the mastery of craft. Anyone claiming otherwise is lying, and likely also trying to sell you something.

So few words for such a deep cut

Post something random or you will have an awful April.

In the two hours between leaving work and me getting home my tattoo decided to peel like crazy*. Still waiting to see if the white ink shows through. *Aquaphor was applied before leaving, so it wasn't like it was dry or anything
