We're not running out of ideas. We're just living in an era when a shrinking number of people are allowed to be creative, stuff that does get made has to be safe and predictable, and most people are barely surviving working shitty jobs.

Ten years working in the electrical department in a large retail store. Ten years of learning from electricians. Studied the electrical code multiple times. And today I have some brain dead customer trying to argue code with me because ChatGPT told him a blatantly illegal setup was legal.

The only thing I can say at this point is a flood of profanity.

Who COULD have POSSIBLY guessed.

For Thanksgiving: Lemon Bars! (The round thing is cause I forgot to trim the crust recipe and just figured what the hell, it's shortbread and I like that too.)

Just failed a captcha because of autocorrect. How am I supposed to prove I'm not a robot to the robot if robots keeps pushing me out of the way and showing off to the robot about their spelling.

No one is really talking about this Pardon abuse. Child-Rapist Trump has let it be known by these Pardons that anyone involved in Criminal activity can receive one if they donate money and swear fealty to him. It's as immoral an act as I've ever seen. It's revolting, Trump is revolting. VOTE people

"Compromise" suggests the Democrats got something in return. They didn't. They just caved. The sacrifices over the last 6 weeks were for nothing, and now the pain will only get worse.

Am I hopeful that Republicans will do the right thing surrounding the ACA tax credits and Medicaid cuts? Yes, in the same way that I hope that the end users for my app are not total idiots. There's a slim chance, but I had better prepare for the opposite.

I hate how this just keeps. Being. Accurate.

They were winning, and the people were pissed and behind them and they just deflated the balloon wow great job guys….

So, what these 8 moderate Democrats (and Schumer, et al) are saying is that the last 40 days were for nothing? We're already going to primary Fetterman. I hope those in New Hampshire find their fortitude to change their senators as well.

As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

As a federal worker, I am beyond pissed that the past 40 days are for nothing. Way to make our sacrifices mean nothing. To paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr., I am beyond disgusted with the moderate who says that now is not the time to fight.

I want to put my Christmas tree up this year but I am worried I won't have anything to put under it.

Takes a lot to offend me. This is offensive.

Gee It's almost as if * Tanking the economy with tariffs * Fucking up healthcare * Gutting tourism * Shitting on everyone in a video * Flooding the streets with the gestapo- sorry, ICE * Abducting Americans and deporting them to random countries * Sending people to a for-pay concentration camp (1/?)

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Yanno if I wrote a president destroying the Whitehouse as an analogy for destroying the country into something, I'd be called "too heavy handed." And fucking yet...

Okay, but this one's an actual, good point.

Fucking rad. Given Anchorage's population dude is probably an actual bush pilot, too

Yea. totally normal for a president to want to be king for life and kill protesters. Amuse. That's what they voted for. And if they say it's not they're lying.

The escalator worked for him going down in '15... but not going up in '25... foreshadowing?

So I'm about to go to the Sacramento No Kings. And I bet it's going to be much bigger. Cause even my town, which is relatively quiet and last time had maybe a dozen people and a single pop-up tent at one intersection is turning out. I saw 1-2k people in clusters of about 100-200 spread around.

Remember: - they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals - they DO NOT CARE about your dunks - the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

Also remember there is no algorithm here. Your quote-posts to dunk on them are helping them out when they can't game the system like they do on other platforms. Don't make their jobs easier for them. Just block and move on.

It troubles me that I’m starting to feel the same way about Bluesky that I do about the UK. Like: it sounds great, and some of the people I know are great, but the leadership is making some weird choices and I’m a bit worried it may all be over in a couple of years.

Never has been so much spent on so little for so few.

Good morning !

Representative Sarah McBride Searches for Republicans Before Shutdown.

I'm so goddamned tired right now.

youtu.be/QzleWD6KVuo Holy shit. Just... wow... Imagine being THAT insane.

People are going to die because of this.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Just saying the quiet part aloud, huh?
