Unfortunately I'm job searching which means bearing witness to the absolute insanity of people who post on LinkedIn.

A local Pokémon trainer has reportedly chosen to save her Master Ball on the off chance she runs into an even ancienter, legendarier Pokémon down the line. paletteswap.site/dif...

One thing I would change about Pluribus is I think it should be aesthetically darker. Many modern shows look too "good" and too well-lit in a way that makes me crave shadows and film grain.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

I Know What You Did Within the Purview of the Statute of Limitations

These movie and TV sound designers are doing way too much. A character will be flipping the page of a book and it's like a strong gust of wind.

Pluribussy

People who were popular on Twitter will come to Bluesky and make exactly one "is this thing on?" post and engage with nobody else, and then a year later go on a podcast to talk about how much of a ghost town the site (that they haven't been on) is.

Designed for people who never figured out what a bidet is.

You can already DM Jesús on Scruff.

Some may remember that in the 90s and 00s, Starbucks was an aspirational retail job. The benefits were unheard of, and these flexible, competitive jobs helped a lot of people get through school or otherwise grow into their careers.

I'm in the new Digg beta and people are posting like this is their first time on the internet. Every time I refresh there's a new post from someone who thinks they're the first person to notice there isn't an edit button or why a brand new app in beta doesn't support video uploads yet.

Many liberals want MAGA voters in the big tent more than they want leftists (or even their own communities) in the big tent and we've just got to be honest about that reality.

He was right and he should have said it.

We don't deserve dogs.

I hate that AI has made me approach cute animal videos with an air of suspicion. I resent having to harden my heart to the possibility of an unlikely friendship between a very large dog and a very small one

No borders.

No white people in power at any company or in government, at any level, for at least a full decade. No senators, no President, no CEOs or VPs. No school board members or project managers. None.

What stage of capitalism is getting a 10% off discount code email from LabCorp for your birthday?

They use an AI grandma because what people will really end up using this for (ex wife, person they stalk, deepfaked celebrity) would feel appropriately creepy.

Did some weed and remembered one of my very first bangers on here.

What it feels like to call a business that could easily resolve your situation via email or their website.

Imagining a guy who drives a Cybertruck and got divorced from both a human woman and an AI chat bot.

We gotta do a nationwide inquest into antisocial behavior. Leaving your dog's poop on the street. Not returning shopping carts. The What's Wrong With You initiative

I am once again pointing out how unskilled right-wingers are at literally every creative practice.

I don't want to ask an AI chat bot to shop for me. I want to read 10,000 words of product reviews, labor over comparison charts, debate the purchase in my head for weeks, and then watch from a safe distance for it to go on sale eventually (like a normal person).

There seems to be a lot of enthusiasm around ditching Google services lately, so I'm sharing this thread on main for anyone who's been thinking about it, including my Proton referral link. They're running a 50% off Black Friday (sigh) sale already. Not sponsored, just happy with the service.

Sometimes I skim my spam folder just to make sure I'm not missing anything major. Today's highlights: "Burial-Insurance Discover Simple Burial Plans" "Ozempic just got easier to get" "You gay. Stay away from my son." My spam folder called me gay, fat, and almost dead.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings “Big tech has made their choice” www.404media.co/google-has-c...

I keep hearing this GoDaddy ad wherein Walton Goggins tells me about some new AI feature and I don't know who this is meant for.

One thing to know about my dog is that he speaks Spanglish.

Thread thread:

My imposter syndrome vs. the fact that the world is run by illiterate nepo baby mediocrity.

Suck it, Bruce!

I have disagreements with him lately, but the vindication of Bernie Sanders is so real. You have self-proclaimed "establishment Democrats" on The View (!) saying they currently find themselves more aligned with him than Chuck Schumer. Unbelievable timeline.

Trying to find a new PS5 controller for less than $8,000.

It's so wild how they basically handed this woman an incredible opportunity to capitalize on the situation and make historic moves the same day she's sworn in. They catapulted her to national prominence and name recognition.

I'm not sure exactly how it would work, but I think every person who: • Is worth more than $100M • Has a leadership role in federal government needs to be investigated and audited publicly.

The most evil, guilty people in the world are all colluding to protect each other. We need to see it through that they face consequences, starting (moderately) at something akin to The Nuremberg Trials.

As we were saying--

Robyn is saving me on this gray Seattle day.

This is Goose. His stick didn't fit through the door at first. But Goose believed in himself, and more importantly, so did his doorman. 13/10 (TT: bigstickgoose)

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time. No more hiding behind election terms.

The hypocrisy is unsurprising but it's still like... Holy shit these religious institutions are evil.

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
