It was always weird working for a startup and seeing how the rest of the company treated the founder like a messiah, and how he like... fed off of it. One time I said something that I guess pissed him off at a meeting and they like, tried to make me do this performative kowtow shit to make up for it

So tonight my mom didnt eat much at sunday dinner, so Elias got all of her leftover chicken, asparagus, and sweet potatoes. And the bowels of this dog have been crafting the most foul farts imaginable. It was funny. He got up in bed and dutch oven-blasted me, then gave me the "i must poop" look.

Bubbles came to SVPP after being confiscated along with 6 other dogs from a horrific living situation and then being marked Final at the local shelter. We are so grateful to our fosters, donors and supporters who make caring for dogs like Bubbles possible.

Our politics have become so bleak that this effort from Mamdani feels almost otherworldly, as though it cannot be real that someone in government is showing concern for poor people.

Reminder for everyone operating at situationally-diminished capacity.

Also in correlation to people pounding their spears on their shields with IF YOU STAY IN THE UNITED STATES THEN YOU ARE A BADDIE Where should I go. Who would have me. I can't even move to Canada you fucks, I have disabilities and serious health conditions and am not rich. Also, I want to fix it.

Just discovered the subreddit r/accidentalrockwell and it is delightful

Hosting the hacked profiles at "Okstupid.lol" is, I have to say, pretty funny

Love this by Danish cartoonist Niels Bo Bojensen:

The model of the 120th Congress shouldn't be the 111th or 117th, or even the 89th Congress, it should be the 39th and 40th Congresses

The Prime Minister of Greenland Jens-Frederik Nielsen to the United States: “Enough is enough.”

Everyone is agitated that Grok keeps sexualizing photos of women and children for users and ignoring that it is also editing photos in more modest ways, like putting women in, uh, Nazi uniforms.

FUCK YEAH NEW EDGE OF MIDNIGHT

You know, if this was a military operation, they could claim they only targeted combatants. If it was a law enforcement operation, they just killed 40+ innocent bystanders. Something to think about at their trials.

For years, the exterminator has been trying to appeal to moderate roaches, saying we need a healthy Roach Party, or pining for the days when they could have drinks with the roaches after work.

During Fiona Hill's testimony to Congress on Oct 14, 2019, she described how Trump and Putin discussed exchanging Ukraine for Venezuela. The quid pro quo was if Trump refuses to help Ukraine fight off a Russian invasion, Putin would not help Venezuela (a Russian ally) resist a US takeover.

4 January 1925 | French Jew Jean Salomon Mosse was born in Paris. On 20 November 1943 he was deported from #Drancy to #Auschwitz in a transport of 1,200 Jews. He arrived at the camp on 23 November 1943. No. 164584 He did not survive.

Wait…are people going back to get their beers?

Gonna ask them to play this playlist as I go under for my colonoscopy in a few weeks.

"Total U.S. costs to date [to 2023] are estimated at about $1.79 trillion, not including funds requested for FY2024. If the costs of future U.S. veterans medical and disability care are included, these costs will reach about $2.89 trillion by 2050." - Neta Crawford, @costsofwar.bsky.social

He. Will. Use. Nukes. Not right away. But he is a megalomaniac with no conscience who has purposely surrounded himself with people who will egg on his worst impulses. Congress has to stop this. It will only get worse.

Read this thread. I don't know what to say, other than we can't live like this anymore.

grim posthumous scenario i had not previously considered: you post a picture of the missile headed straight for you, and are memorialized by a bunch of random assholes complaining about alt text

Reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s Antartica which was written 30 years ago but sadly holds up too well

this is why you must always oppose every act an imperialist country does, because then they’ll soon come for everyone

Unrelated, but I wish for all of you to know that I believe with certainty that the Ambassador Class Starship is the unsung hero ship of the Federation. Also that Tasha Yar is the tactical officer equivalent of Jesus, and Rachel Garrett is the Hotshot Starship Captain that our modern era needs.

The year is 2003. I’m 17 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil. The year is 2026. I’m 40 years old. I’m watching Democrats fail to appropriately oppose an illegal war for oil.

Bubble West Wing: “I’ll see your illegal foreign aid dealing AND your campaign finance thievery impeachments, and raise you an International treaty war crime!” #trump #madkingdonnie

"But Democrats have no power!" is what happens when you are abiding procedural decorum the GOP won't honor. Fuck unanimous consent for ANYTHING in Congress. Grind everything to a halt. Filibuster everything. Make it impossible to do any business. Weaponize the rules, because they already have.

The names of Canada's provinces and territories come from many sources. Some names come from Indigenous words, while others are named for royalty, and some are named for where settlers came from. This is how each province and territory was named! 🧵 1/15

I just want to say for the record that when the history books are written centuries from now, I believe the election of Donald Trump in a free and fair election in 2024 will go down as one of the most senseless and self-destructive own goals in human history

the year is 2026

It’s a pretty perfect day here. 84° and 45% humidity. The air almost feels silky. We were eating lunch on our terrace and a male and female hooded oriole were quite close. Not a bad picture with an iPhone in one hand and a sandwich in the other. Backyard birdwatching.
