There is something brutally psychically injurious to being constantly told "just do good work and you'll be successful" while watching people who do the most dogshit work possible do all the succeeding.

Every news article having a bespoke headline is inefficient. From now on every headline should just be "Moron Causes Problems", which perfectly captures all modern political and business news cycles.

fun fact: doing this DOES actually significantly help you hear things in front of you by basically creating a simple ear trumpet. the trade off is you will look like a maniac

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

as a person who is hard of hearing, I need to figure out some kind of universally-understood hand signal for “PUT THE MICROPHONE NEAR YOUR MOUTH”

I do not know how to spell jeopardy

I’m losing my entire mind because I’ve been hearing this anecdote for decades and it’s never occurred to me who Uncle Bobby was

just saw a crow and a turkey vulture having a date over some roadkill in the middle of the street ❤️

everybody is saying this more and more

It’s truly astonishing to see how comprehensively the US government is tearing down every part of the system that has made it up until now a world-leading power in science, research, and technological development. The entire world will suffer from this wanton destruction.

I’ve been watching this yellow-breasted chat all week. apparently they usually stay pretty low to the ground but I guess it’s mating week because he keeps doing a neat flight display and screaming!

I was just reading outside and a hummingbird buzzed up to inspect me, but I got startled and flinched so instead of a beautiful nature moment it just backed up a couple feet and then stared at me like “dude, chill” before taking off again

crow has been whiffing jumps and landings more frequently but his getting-under-the-blanket game is unmatched

This passed the house today, so now is the time to call our senators (and yell at our house reps if they voted for it) This bullshit bill is an assault on trans people and on every kid’s right to read and see the world as it exists. Reps.fyi

Billionaires must be targeted with tax policy and antitrust policy not because it helps everyone else (though it does) but because their political power must be limited so they can't wreck the world the way they're currently doing

This is absolutely atrocious and a deathknell for many websites Serebii should be ok as a large portion of our traffic is direct due to our reputation, but this is horrendous for all individual sites everywhere. These things scrape our sites then kill us. I see no logic to it.

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
