I tried Kirklands peanut butter. Diabetic-ly it only saves me 1 single grams of carbs. I'd have to refrigerate it, fight to get it on my bread or veggies without warming it, and once warm it's near a liquid. Sorry, Jiff wins it for me. I don't like ripped bread or having it drip out of my celery.

We have to have 3 trainings devoted to using fucking CoPilot becuase "it's going to be the best thing ever". I am in a ethics first field, with highly detailed compliance regulations. I feel like I am the only one watching this slow motion dumpster fire.

Goddammit.

As an anthropologist, I endorse this message!

I approve of the Dems' response to this, though

"So, this is the trolley problem. You're at the switch, with a track with 1 person died up and one with 5 people tied up. Now, do you--" "I kill all the billionaires." "..." "..." "...what?" "All the billionaires." "In the world?" "Yes." "But that's not the exercise." "It is now, motherfucker."

Oh. Yeah. That won't go bad. . .

Straight Cis dudes are a mystery to me. Dude refused to use a safety roof harness because in the last video he was made fun of by other straight cis dudes. Like what? Why are they so fragile they care about strangers on the internet?

Erin Brackovich AI data center impact website. She mapped them all and is showing how they will screw us all over.

your regular reminder that the national shoplifting crisis was a manufactured moral panic largely engineered by corporations in order to cover up their own mismanagement — and that wage theft is the largest category of theft in the U.S.

Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter. (Published Jan. 2025)

I feel very similarly as a queer transgender man. My transgender wife and I are in a blue area, but we face real risks when we go out because even here there are people that are shitty to her based on their politics. Excuse me for not wanting that kind of toxic background bigotry in my online life.
