Reminder: if you do work you’re supposed to be being paid for for free, you aren’t just screwing yourself over, you’re screwing over all your coworkers. Being exploitable isn’t being a team player, no matter what the boss says.

Here’s how to set your pronouns on the new labeler

This is among the most egregious lies about all this. First, the fossil fuel industry gets HUGE subsidies from the government (Burgum whines about supporting renewable energy), but the CO2 stuff is such a mind-boggingly braindead claim it amazes me anyone buys it. Like flat-Earth level bullshit.

just reset mine on here! I LOVE having the pronoun labeler, it's so useful to make sure I'm always referencing people respectfully and correctly. please please go do this!

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad www.reddit.com/r/FlockSurve...

Get back out because there is no way we’re going to the moon with Elon.

Becky is giving us another amazing Bad Bunny explication! This time it's on his song "El Apagón"—THE BLACKOUT—and the history of Puerto Rico's energy woes

My parents lived just down the road from this synagogue until this last November. If you need me to explain to you why this is wrong, I'd rather just block you.

Went to the pharmacy, picked up my meds. Go me.

“Oh gravity, thou art a heartless bitch” is an all-time banger of a line with endless uses.

transphobes truly pathologize the most normie shit. after the archdiocese of Portland’s shitty school new guidelines began policing things like haircuts and nicknames for being too Pronoun™️, my dad was like “50 years ago if a girl named Josephine decided to go by Jo, no one lost their mind about it”

Had to work later than expected so now waiting for the rush hour at the pharmacy to end. I need to actually go get my Rx, not say “screw it” and wait until tomorrow.

And I'd suggest monitoring the next several payments — we're seeing reports of more problems than usual

I genuinely cannot believe the degree to which we are pissing away this generational breakthrough, even given the fuckmuppets who are involved www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

I feel like ageism has been the gateway bigotry for a lot of people. As an unpopular regime has ossified into a gerontocracy, it seems like a lot of people have allowed themselves to think "old people doing public work" is the problem that needs to be solved.

The proposed comparison of an already-approved flu shot against the new one is absolutely the correct way to conduct this trial.

The "Facebook knew their product was causing body image issues in teen girls and did it deliberately" narrative is taking the ACTUAL RESEARCH Facebook did entirely out of context! They commissioned that internal research to SEE HOW THEY COULD STOP IT HAPPENING.

And worse, the ban actively forecloses the *actual necessary work* in, like. A billion fucking directions: parental education, child education, law enforcement funding and investigation, AND ALSO ACTUAL PRODUCT SAFETY RESEARCH because the current environment makes that HIGHLY RISKY FOR SITES TO DO

I just happen to believe any mechanism for state suppression of disfavored viewpoints is bad because, as you can see in the US, which views the state disfavors can shift overnight!

Really, if you have a Ring you should get rid of it for all the reasons explained here - they turn over data to law enforcement without a warrant on a daily basis. But at minimum, disable the AI: lifehacker.com/tech/how-to-...

The WeRateDogs guy has been down with the cause for a hot minute; the radicalization has been unreal and deeply comforting

But it probably raises expectations among the base that many candidates aren't prepared to meet. And it means that I'm constantly being bombarded not with the things I actually like about the candidates I support, but with the same old partisan or intrapartisan factional posturing I see everywhere.

The re-posting account was @psychicozma.bsky.social (I’ve blocked them; I don’t need more content thieves in my feed)

Age verification is deanonymization, Deanonymization is censorship. The Supreme Court is now taking away your right to anonymously *read* a form of speech. If speaking can mean that your readers have to subject themselves to potential consequences to read it, how can there be freedom of speech?

Smudge shows off his mastery of the splooting form

By intervening in the system in this way, ICE is actually aiding and abetting in people escaping justice. People who commit abuses are simply shipped out of country, where they walk free, especially as they are encouraged to 'self-deport.' Meanwhile, their victims are denied a day in court.

I need the world and the people in it to stop being irritating for like, five minutes.

If you are in Baltimore, and you haven't had an adult MMR booster or recent titers, now is the time to get that booster! Mumps immunity is more susceptible to waning than measles and it needs a single adult booster after age 18 or so for maximum efficacy!

It case you thought this was a hard question, the Census Bureau is the second largest component of his agency (after NOAA).

I learn of an automated account on here, "adsdaily", that is reposting links to ADS entries along with "AI summaries" that misrepresent the contents of the papers. I recommend blocking that. And the next AI winter really cannot come soon enough.

I have had depression on and off most of my life, but it’s only in the past few years that one of my symptoms has become “taking a shower is a Major Effort”, and I would like to go back to before that, please. (There is no question mark in this post)

Ok this makes a good deal more sense

My son asked me this week "why would someone play Russian Roulette?"

"gay pornography" and it was a two second shot of two clothed men dancing together and the only thing you could see was from the waist up

Of all the myriad things to get mad at kid rock for, pre-taping his show isn't even on the list. Every artist prepping for a big halftime show or whatever does this. Sound quality and uncertain electronics mean you take precautions.

Even Republicans used to cater to public opinion. That's what's broken in government, not Democrats being cowardly. It used to be that if something was polling well, Republicans would be willing to work across the aisle to pass it (a la CHIP Health insurance for kids). 1/

The governments pushing the moral panic the loudest are doing so because it's an excuse to further the destruction of anonymity and privacy and further advance the surveillance state.

Discord is a member of Netchoice, the trade organization that's fighting these laws in the US, and they've shown up for pretty much every lawsuit since they joined. I can't say for certain[1] but I HIGHLY doubt they are doing this because they want to.

I made oatmeal peanut butter chocolate chip cookies to use up some brown sugar that’s getting old and I still have some left, so clearly I have to bake something else.

She's better at accountability than most Ivies

I was just served an entire episode of PBS Nature as a YouTube ad. I like elephants, but ads between two 20-minute videos should not be an hour .

I love my new robot vacuum so much. It’s so nice to be able to tell it to go to specific rooms and not have to wall things off. It’s so nice also vacuums well enough that it counts as vacuuming, instead of as a between-vacuuming touch-up.

Yeah, your radical middle-aged lady who is setting up a phone tree brought her friends who think her politics are extreme to help. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THEM CARE ABOUT SHIT YOU CONSIDER IMPORTANT. And instead it’s like EWWW THIS PLACE IS RUINED, THE PUSSY HAT LADIES ARE HERE

But I’ve seen it over and over again—the presence of more centrist women causes people to melt down and see it as corruption of the movement instead of *a sign that the movement is succeeding.*

Just. Ugh. All the ugh.

I think some people think that there's this button somewhere marked "send military" that people can push, and, hey, presto! Poof, they're there (wherever the 'there' may be) ramboed up and ready to go, with no elapsed time.

Cue angels on high 👼👼👼🎶🎶🎶
