Without DEI, we would only make merit-based hires, like the genius strategist who decided to pick a fight with his boss’s new young wife.

Guys guys I made a book!

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Yeah funny how that works, isn’t it?

Hey, graphologists? You’re up next I guess?

GET YOUR DIGITIAL CALIPERS OUT, BOYS, WE'RE GOING MEASUREHEAD MODE !

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

I like my #WilliamMorris notebook but am persistently troubled by the floorplan implied in the logo (on every page). What does William keep at home in the tiny windowless room without a door? Is the large space without an entrance useful / beautiful? This distracts me a lot in meetings.

They’ll probably banh mi for saying this, but none of us can sub our own wishes for the rule of law. It may be possible for other countries - the French dip in & out of this sort of thing, but we’re in an exclusive club here. & the media circus - the questions & photos, it’s like grilled, cheese.

Sandwich Guy thanks everyone for their support, “emotional, spiritual, artistic or financial.” Intones, “Let us not forget that the great seal of the United States says…‘ out of many, one.’…You all have a right to live a life that is free.”

This is the (for now) final post of a multi-day thread documenting my first try at bookbinding. Click and scroll up to see the whole story!

Jurors Say Hold the Tomato

Cheney croaked, Zohran won, and sandwich guy is free. All time great week imo.

sub standard prosecution

But they have trillions of dollars? Surely a few little lawsuits can’t hurt them? 🤷‍♀️🤭

"OpenAI in Danger" are some of the sweetest words I will ever read. Kill it dead. Sue them more. Crush them.

Since it’s apparently been forgotten substack platforms Nazis I will never follow a link from there an if you’ve built a following there you should find a way to go somewhere else

🚨🚨🚨 The jury has reached a verdict. Sean Dunn, aka the DC Sandwich Guy, has been found NOT GUILTY of assault.

That’s a wrap for sandwich guy.

What’s actually bonkers is that ‘rude’ is hidden by default but ‘misinfo’ is only labelled… 🤷‍♀️ I guess it’s more important that celebs don’t see people who might legitimately want to shout at them than to protect users against fascist propaganda huh?

Chief Inspector: It is simple. To identify the killer, we must simply determine which of them is actually older than 50 Assistant: How will we do that though? Why would they tell us? ... Chief Inspector *clears throat*: That parrots not dead. He's just resting.

It is absolutely INSANE that a Court needs to order federal law enforcement to wear badges

“I spent years gleefully threatening my neighbors livelihoods and human rights, and now they wouldn’t spit on me if I was on fire? MODS! MODS!”

Jesus Luke, just come and slap me in person next time?

Who could have guessed that failure to spend on public services, prisons and more over decades would lead to this? Though there’s no excuse for not being across the detail

As is usual in the UK, it is considered worse to *call* someone racist than to be racist. I have fallen out with MANY people (friends!) over the years about this. Folk who consider themselves unimpeachable, and go ballistic when you point out that something they did or said was kind of shitty.

has anyone added goatse hands to this image yet or do I have to do everything around here

The danish for spooky (or uncanny) is "uhygge" - not cosy

For real, if you can knit, whip up a Portland Frog hat or similar. I wore this it out this morning and the looks of joy on the way, especially from one of the construction workers. It's a small thing to say someone's paying attention to what's going on. #DHmakes swatch.ravelry.com/patterns/lib...

#DHmakes <3s sharing first tries at crafts, making, & art—and documenting your process so others can enjoy, understand, & maybe get inspired to try it too. @loreandordure.com on bookbinding:

👇 I don’t get why this is so poorly understood. If you live in a wealthy country, in the event that dictatorship comes to your country, your smart fridge’s manufacturer is not going to say “we couldn’t possibly hand *that* over”.

Whew, that is quite a moment to capture. That is the look of someone who is so tuned out they're just waiting for someone else to take care of the mess in the corner.

Every year we get closer to this happening on the news

Would not surprise me at all if he had some sort of weird sickness phobia.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

This kinda shit is how you get hung juries

Reminder that, of the identified UK funding to Tufton St. think tanks, around 46% of the money going to these "impartial" organisations comes from foundations run by, or with a Tory peer sitting on the board of trustees. They don't declare their donors, and almost all hold dire transparency ratings

Garbage in, garbage out. Or in this case, eat shit and die, I guess?

"It's just one element of the whole--" Nope. Nazi Bar. You have a bar with a Nazi in it and they aren't getting kicked out, that's a Nazi bar. You have a work with any amount of "AI" content, that's an "AI" work and it goes in the bin.

Never forget that this is what corporations do. Corporations don’t give a single fuck about you or your family or anybody else. They would happily and gleefully kill you for a few cents per share of increased earnings. This is unregulated capitalism at work.

Using a government jet to fly you to a girlfriends country music gig/wrestling match and then covering it up and rage tweeting about it on X is sort of a microcosm of Trumpism. thebulwark.com/p/kash-patel-fbi-director-private-jet-problem-nashville

Think tanks... where thinking goes to tank.

Everyone hates welfare until the rich need to be saved from a bad investment.

Unassailable logic:

In Icelandic we have 'Ókind' for monster. But the translation is un-sheep. So everything not a sheep is dangerous.

Brixham 90 minutes. Very interesting convos, and uplifting interactions with a well-informed 13 yr old boy and, separately,a 12 year old girl. Hope for the future. We all celebrated the fact that no-one thought people arriving on boats actually impacted them negatively. www.commongroundorg.co.uk

Wow! 😮🤩 There's a new interactive map of Every Known Road in the Roman Empire!! 🤓 itiner-e.org We might have to have a lie-down.

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

Anyway, I can answer this question quickly and comprehensively: If your idea of the workplace is mostly just slapping secretaries on the ass, then Yes, liberal feminism ruined that. If your idea of the workplace involves actual work, then No, liberal feminism has had no bearing on that at all.
