Ain't it the truth.

Wish I could go back to thinking all the plastic I swallow goes in one end and out the other.

"the menswear guy isn't fair and balanced." do you even hear yourself? "fork lady is eroding public confidence." "ladder baby is undermining the credibility of the field." "lemon raccoon is acting without transparency or accountability." that's what you sound like.

Remember my story about the hospital calling to bully me into pre-paying for surgery before I'd even had it and how predatory it was? Yea, I got the final bill and I owed ~$1250 less than they asked me for upfront. How long do you think it would have taken to get that money refunded if I'd paid?

No disappointment like realizing 1) you misheard a song's lyrics and 2) you liked your version better

The problem is this kind of huge policy question IS something for the legislature. Which rather delegates to the executive branch and court opinions for society to move forward and for crisis to be responded to, instead of doing anything themselves.

There is a lot of demand for digital privacy and security advice out there right now and lots of people are giving advice and writing guides. I beg them to do a few things: 1. Be explicit about the threat model your advice is meant for.

Taking a break from doomscrolling today to show off my #crochet at a local market. The #Wednesday inspired hat is my favorite one I've made all year, it came out exactly as I'd hoped. #CrochetSky

Every pundit article: BLUESKY IS A HOTBED OF RADICALIZATION Majority of posts in my feed: Check out this cool bug/bird/random historical personage I found! Small but vivid minority of posts: Do you think Gritty and Alf are in a polycule or nah?

Some of my most favorite washi tapes I’ve designed 🦋🕯️🖼️🪲

Check on your terminally online friends today. We've had to explain to Regular People what a groyper is more times than is probably good for our sanity.

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside

Got 2 very different emails from companies I have items on backorder with. Company 1: It's still coming on the exact date we originally gave you 2 months ago, and we won't charge you until then. Company 2: It's been over a year but we still don't know when or if it's coming but we did charge you.

yesterday "here is proof that the president is a sex criminal" felt pretty bad. today "almost all of the news media is assisting in covering up the fact that the president is a sex criminal" feels much worse

Between work and my personal phone I am now able to receive robo calls across three separate platforms/numbers (in addition to the legitimate notifications I get all day) and I just don't think humans were wired to be this "available" all the time. It's exhausting.

I keep seeing kids in their late teens and early 20s romanticize the year 2016. “It’s 2016 and you’re listening to this song…” Guys, nobody liked 2016. Until 2020, it was considered one of the worst years anyone had ever seen. Everyone cool died. It was fucking miserable. Stop it.

The most recent episode of Alien: Earth had me so distracted by how many people are just smoking on spaceships. I feel like that's a terrible idea? 😂

It is tempting for me to screenshot and repost every similar post I am seeing across my socials because I have made a concerted effort to ditch Amazon and big corporations in favor of shopping with small businesses, and the result is my feed being full of posts like these and it really sucks.

A great thing about having friends all over the place is that if I suspect the media is trying to spin propaganda about D.C. or Chicago or Seattle or LA all I have to do is text one of my friends who lives in one of those places (or frankly, just go watch their Instagram stories) to find the truth.

This ridiculous and most vile of “Whatabouts” has been responsible for me throwing down an insurmountable number of Gary Oldman memes. But yup. Put *EVERY. ONE.* involved away.

I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

Changing the name of the Department of Defense will cost billions.We could build units for all unhoused veterans. Or give service members a pay raise so 35K active duty members wouldn’t have to rely on food stamps. Or… or… or…

Just spoke with my CDC sources. They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports. Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy. RFK Jr. must resign now!

Blue Team Con has a sober board game room with mocktails at the same time as the big party for people who don’t want to be around loud music or alcohol! 🤩 Why doesn’t every con do this?

10/10, no notes

RFK Jr. rolled out that old chestnut again about how healthy Americans were in the 60’s, so here’s a fact check. In 1965: -42% of American adults smoked; it’s 11% now. -The infant morality rate was 24.7/1000; it’s 5.6/1000 now. -Overall life expectancy was 70 years; it's about 77 years now.

Here's the thing about vaccine mandates: The government is not mandating that every child gets vaccinated. The rule is that if you want to access a public good (public school) you need to behave in a pro-social way (not making other children in public school sick).

The official DOJ Twitter account posting the equivalent of a screenshotted Notes app apology from a phone on 30% battery after the acting director got honeypotted on Hinge and confirmed plans of an Epstein/Maxwell coverup.

Here’s an interesting fact: We have literally TONS of open office spaces across America because many many people have not returned to working in offices after COVID and never will. While at the same time, we have a massive shortage of habitable and affordable rentals. Seems like we can actually

Your electricity bill is going up because data centers are raising demand, not because your utility started scaling out some renewables. Pass it on.

How delightfully selective bodily autonomy applies to vaccines but not wombs. Apparently the Constitution protects your right to spread measles but not to choose motherhood. One can only admire such principled inconsistency. Freedom means infecting babies, tyranny means reproductive choice.

really appreciate that JB Pritzker's response to Ted Cruz saying 'you're fat' was like 'and you're a sorry excuse for a public servant, so.'

Data centers are directly responsible for 63% of rate hikes in the past year. Data centers underpay for their usage while we pay more for ours. This is why the BBB gave them all those tax breaks. We are getting fucked on every level. I saw that in the next 10 yrs all our electric bills will double

If the tariffs are declared illegal, why are only businesses getting refunds? Shouldn’t we receive a refund too, since businesses passed the tariff costs on to their customers?

So what are we using for music streaming services that is not Spotify or Amazon Music?

happy early spooky season youtu.be/03iBgkXb1EE?...

Trump is celebrating a massive, energy consuming data center while simultaneously cutting wind and solar energy and exporting American energy. Demand for energy is up while Trump lowers supply, a recipe for high energy costs.

omg as a pentester PLEASE use one of these! Get them for your entire company. It’ll go great

I know there's a joke that for every group chat, there's a separate, smaller group chat that is all the same people except for one person and for my group chat that is true in every single permutation except apparently for one without the girl whose birthday is coming up that I need gift ideas for.

“…and here’s how it pales in comparison to the improprieties of Hunter Biden.” ~The NYT, probably

Remembering and honoring Tolkien today on the anniversary of his passing. Thinking of my love of his works and Legendarium, the ways I’ve connected with him through his writings, and his second legacy that is the Tolkien community. #Tolkien #LOTR #middleearth

As a human in DC right now I would get a significant boost to quality of life via a widely available COVID vaccine compared to armed men harassing my neighbors. Would call my representatives in federal government to point this out, if I had any

I do not care if these are staged, they're delightful.

Wealth taxes NOW. It’s patriotic to do your part and fund society for the workers you exploit in order to get this rich. #taxtherich

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.
