my average thursday morning

OK, so we get the state intervening in the market, but not in a socialist way, in a right-wing nationalist way that’s corrupt and corporatist. A social nationalism, if you will. We can workshop the name later.

Spark of Fire (3 fire energy) Search your opponents' Pockets or Bag. Use any Lighters you find to light your opponents' active Pokemon on fire

Managerial work is like. Hey Guys. I put a Meeting on the calendar so we can discuss the future Meeting where we plan out the Meeting schedule for the mini Meetings we're having for the big Meeting next week. Let me know if you have any questions and I'll set up a Meeting

after a long and hard fought battle I have won the only reward possible: More Work to be Done

My main hobbies

Ok! Cool. Awesome. Great. Hell yeah. This fucking sucks

(nfl ref voice) are you guys mad at me (Stadium cheers)

Americans are gonna be playing pickle ball in generic Breweries in gentrified Data Centers in under 10 years

lmfao. omg

is... is that poop

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

lmfao I love it when Peer Reviewed Studies help support vibe-based assumptions I've been living under

inspirational fortune cookie today ☺️ wanted to share! Hope you find it helpful

Honestly my primary takeaway from Pokemon ZA is "wow it would be really nice to live in a city this walkable in real life"

"accidentally got too important at work" type beat

I'm really good at being Mr Manager but every major decision I make gives me Immense Impostor Syndrome

Linus just discovered he can see the neighbors' bird feeder in the office and he hasn't moved for hours

This is a fascinating read! Turns out it's actually Incredibly Easy to poison modern LLMs. I hope that Bad Actors don't see how easy this is and do it. That would be horrible

What in the heck are you talking abo--- ok, I get it

me

smoking cigarette in a No Smoking Neighbor Hood. bad ass

lmao called it

won my round early enough to catch a live Wolfe Glick match, dude is unreal lmfao

for those keeping track, currently I am High(er) but there's a lot a ball left

Milwaukee VGC Regional Thread!!!! Playing for the elusive Triple F: Flinch Freeze Fissure

in Milwaukee for Pokemon Spotted Cow on tap 🥰

my take on the recent News

lol oh no

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

oh wow who would have guessed that the most effective misinformation machine would be immediately abused by fascists. I don't think anyone has used misinformation as propaganda to support an authoritarian before, this is such a new and crazy surprise

Louie 🥰

that donald trump was allowed to become president again after J6 is something we may never recover from as a nation

stephen miller slipping up and saying trump has plenary authority and immediately pulling off the "if i freeze they'll think it's a technical difficulty" maneuver

(calling my therapists' emergency line) yeah idk man do you think it's degenerate to run Dondozo at a regional in 2025? I don't want to be an asshole but I'm winning a lot of games on showdown

Alert! ALERT! i am in dire need of a Little Treat

took a week off to Relax and Recover but the funding for my entire team at work got cut yesterday and now I just get to sit here the rest of the week and wonder if I'm getting laid off on Monday

lots of reasons to be horrified here, but I think using ICE to detain an entire apartment building because a Bank asked them to is an alarming escalation of Fascism within our current level of Fascism and should be treated as a seven alarm fire

"Democratic strongholds" in this militaristic context makes it sound like we're terrorists or insurrections or warlords. I cannot express how angry I am at American journalism for enabling this moment.

An enterprising journalist that could prove that his aides and advisors are showing Trump fake shit that led to him signing EOs and making policy decisions would be a huge deal. Maybe the biggest story in the history of the Presidency? Bigger than Nixon. Too bad the newspapers quit being newspapers

going door to door offering to smoke someone up

OpenAI slowly suffocating from the fumes of all the Money they're burning in their Money Burning Machine and making stupider and stupider decisions

my observation on the Bluesky situation is: Anyone can make a Posting Application for Posting. It's not that difficult. The "code is the product" model they're running with here feels like techbro fugaze bullshit and I've never trusted it

i miss smoking a bunch of shitty weed with my friends and not even getting high

you know what time it is

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

it's crazy how they got the guy from fall out boy playing quarterback for the Vikings now
