the dem had 4 years to bring consequences for an attempted coup, and they did nothing. they had 50 years to enshrine abortion, but did nothing. they had 60 years to strengthen civil rights, they did nothing. now they have the will of the people behind them for impeachment, guess what they'll do

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I have nothing to say that matches the gravity of the situation. I just want peace and safety for everyone targeted by the insane whims of a madman.

As a kid, I was constantly reprimanded for my handwriting. Had to do extra exercises and everything, all throughout elementary school, until my handwriting was deemed "acceptable". Then I learned how to type 100 wpm. Guess which of those skills got me my first office job at 19.

I use cursive for one thing only, and that's signing documents, except I don't because what I don't e-sign I just squiggle something that looks name-ish, and no one cares. There are SO many other "basics" our schools aren't teaching that are much more urgent than cursive.

Someone at Disney is really just having one of those days today.

Man if this really is the beginning of the end of GenAI (and I get that the jury's still out) we need to demand like *struggle-session* level apologies from certain parties, like people need to eat shit

I’m not a business genius or anything but if you shed 1800 jobs in three years, while owning one of the most popular entertainment products in history and the tool used to make it, maybe there are other questions to be asked somewhere.

my thought with all those at Epic today. it should be illegal to lay off 20% of your workforce on a whim. it's not perfect, but there are more protections against this sort of thing in Europe. support politicians with legitimate connections to labor unions.

Amazon is now rolling out 1-hour and 3-hour delivery. Injuries have already been increasing near 'last-mile' Amazon warehouses that handle the last leg of the delivery process. And workers at the many Amazon sub-contractors are already heavily exploited and over-worked.

No, it's not an AI error. It's an error made by the person who decided to use AI for targeting. It's an error that should be punished, harshly. By a vigilante mob if necessary. thisweekinworcester.com/exclusive-ai...

The saddest story in seven words.

I won a Saturday Night Fever-themed dance contest judged by a member of the Bee Gees. It was apparently a promo for a BBC competition show, and my prize was a bunch of Bee Gees-related merch. But I can't find any evidence of the show online, and I can't find any of my original emails about it.

I know these are supposed to be recruitment photos, but it just looks like the Stop & Shop employees are laughing at you.

My kid accidentally put on the Swedish subtitles to Muppet Christmas Carol, and I was disappointed to find it wasn't just "Yergy bergen flergen" the whole time.

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

I tried this, and it matched me with a Wikipedia article about Tony-winning musicals. Anyway, we're getting married in October.

Congrats, you stupid fucking transphobes. You won a battle for something that literally didn't happen in the last Olympics. (No, not even that one boxer, you stupid fucking transphobes.) So now you stupid fucking transphobes can shut the fuck up about it and go pretend to care about something else.

But how are they going to highlight the roman numeral in the title???
