I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. flaminghydra.com/issue-243/

They literally setup a fake office for Trump's dad, so he could think he was still going to work. Any resemblance to current circumstances, such as turning the White House into Mar-a-Lago, is purely coincidental. Only a deep state anti-fa terrorist would imply otherwise.

This whole article

Turned down a job after the manager bragged about forcing people into the office during Covid and not believing in remote work. A number of other things bothered me, but that was a giant red flag that says "I am a dogshit IT manager." I appreciate their candor, but no.

That one ICE agent telling his neighbors that he was a botanist stuck with me because it’s such a stupid guy idea of a job “I’m totally not an evil ICE Nazi I am a flower doctor”

From the NY Post. You know they are really scrambling when they are running "The gun was no angel" stories.

Being hospitalized is a fitting tribute to support him tbh

Until Friday, I had never walked out of a job interview exponentially more interested than walking in. They sold me on it so thoroughly that it's going to be a kick in the gut if they don't actually make an offer. The difference between "I need to eat and I can do this" and "I want to do this."

There was a UFC event last night, so I briefly thought this referred to Dominick Cruz and that was quite a visual.

I'm laughing so fucking hard

What a baffling collection of words.

the mood is not subtle

There goes my 9-leg parlay. I even paid for premium odds. These lazy fighters are taking food off my family's table!

My mind is awash with hundreds of things best not put in writing. What a dark time to be living through. The details of Alex Pretti's execution at the hands of the US secret police are genuinely hollowing.

This is courage. Looking a masked, government fascist dead in the eye, face to face, knowing full well that your life is on the line. If elected officials had 1/10th of Alex Pretti's resolve, we would have far fewer troubles.

The republican position has always been that it is okay to kill the right type of person. - Rittenhouse - Penny - every guy who swerved their F-150 into a protest - Eddie Gallagher Etc. They're supremacists in favour of compliant whites.

One of my personal litmus tests, when people start talking racialized bullshit, is to say "every single person who has been in a position to make my life worse has been a white guy." You learn a lot from their response.

Showing cross-racial solidarity is a potential death sentence. There are few things white supremacists hate more.

Jesus Christ.

I would hope everyone knew it was a lie before, but it is unavoidable now. Rights only apply to the correct type of person. They're just saying it out loud now.

I want Slipknot! "We have Slipknot at home." Slipknot at home:

This is an incredibly brutal roast. youtu.be/7pqF90rstZQ

this is the key problem with continuously executing random members of the populace: you can’t kill everybody, and the ones you don’t kill are more likely to start squaring with the possibility of it than fleeing in terror

I really like this new Ov Sulfur album, but this song "Wither" absolutely gutted me. The whole vibe they set, and the voice sample in the intro just cut through me like a knife. I'm almost mad they affected me that much. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN__...

Time to hibernate, holy shit.

Bert Kreischer is proof that you can make it in stand up without being funny you just have to take your shirt off and confidentially yell lies as loud as you can

Some people are named after what their dads did for a living

A big part of this is the increasing influence of American right-wing media. We have a conservative party that has morphed from homegrown racists to Fox News Grandpas.

Crushed another interview. Really hope this one pans out. Looking for work is such a beating for the self-worth.

Ah, dive bars...

Kash Patel going to a big meeting of the intelligence chiefs in England and asking if they can go jet skiing instead of having a normal meeting is really doing a number on my ability to focus

Famously a thing that turned around.

The evils of the American empire, at home and abroad, have been bipartisan projects. You can quibble over how overtly monstrous one party is, but they both have the same perspective on these matters.

The cognitive dissonance of constantly reading that I need to spend some time mastering generative AI while not knowing a single person in my industry who uses it to do good work 🤙

It's time!

The only thing "AI" is going to be doing is filtering out spam generated by other "AI" products.

kills me every time lol

I don't want to hear a word about how "AI is getting better" when job hunting platforms can't even make the obvious connection that a "hybrid remote" job is of no use when it is 3 provinces away from me. "Oh, hold on; I'll just hop in my car and drive to [squints] Calgary from Ottawa."

People are saying mean things about my friend, The Lying Computer.

Having normal conversations with my friends about deceased fitness YouTubers....

It's impossible to argue with the UFC's margins and profits, but it's very funny to me that if it weren't for the fact that I follow a lot of people I found through the Twitter MMA scene, I wouldn't know a single thing about the sport without putting in effort to learn it.

A guy pulls a gun on me and asks for all my money. "Whoa, THAT is a red flag!"

Had a prospective employer pull the "we have pizza in the break room" line. Expecting to be low-balled. Maybe I look too young without the beard.

"Without us you'd all be speaking German", Donald Trump tells an audience in Davos, in Switzerland. Where the most common language is German.

Going back to 1995 and telling myself that this will be a way to earn money in The Future.

When you accidentally post the draft.
