When you get asked for music recommendations and realize that you can't remember a single song name from the last 10+ years

If it hasn't happened already, we're going to see indigenous people and Hispanic people who have lived inside the current borders of the USA far longer than the USA even existed being deported to ... Somewhere.

Pete Bttigieg is like the DEFINITION of the white moderate that MLK ranted about.

"No no, you see, we have women too!" _stare_ "Really!" ... Okay, what race, what percentage and what are their job titles ... _Mumble mumble_ I'm sorry what was that? _Mumble mumble_ A little louder for the folks in back? We have 10% women and they're all in HR or Marketing... Thank you.

But also, it's kinda not a shitpost. I've seen tech companies say "we promote racial diversity!". But then it's like ... Ah so you mean white and Asian men. Gotcha.

If you're going to call a group of people "gender diverse", you need a minimum of 4 genders. None of this "we have gender diversity" and it's just ... Cis men and cis women.

Behold, my field of fucks I give about whether someone is ACTUALLY a fascist as I block them And see that it is empty

I really don't trust my spicy take meter today. Reread the same draft 3 times and sometimes it seems lukewarm, and other times so thermonuclear I'd be cyber bullied off the internet. Guess I'll just not post anything.

Vulnerability Management Tip To butcher The Incredibles: When you treat every Microsoft Patch Tuesday as if it's going to have critical vulnerabilities in it, then none of the Patch Tuesdays have to be handled as critical vulnerabilities. Basically, just expect you're going to need all your […]

A challenge: Try to write something without spell check enabled and see just how bad your spelling has gotten over the years of being able to crutch on spell check. This is what AI does to you. You lean on it, and then rely on it, and then you forget how to do it right in the first place to […]

another day that I get 5000 characters into a ramble and lose interest before I get to the conclusion of the thought and delete the draft

For fucks sake, Cis het people, the A in LGBTQIA stands for ASEXUAL people, not Allies. You don't get to erase our ace siblings and cram yourselves into our own name for ourselves.

If you are defending grown men raing 15-year old girls because they are not 8-years old, that should probably end your media career.

Now I suppose "to be fair", it's shared blame between search engines enshittifying themselves, but also spammy websites getting better and better at SEO, and even "legit" websites putting their content behind registration walls and/or subscription walls. The open web is broken and never coming […]

I'm convinced that one of the biggest reasons why lots of people have turned to ChatGPT for getting answers is because search has become such a cesspool of nonsense garbage bullshit.

[pedophiles] Ya know, I'm kinda surprised that there hasn't been more right wing "Billionaire pedophiles trafficking teenage sex slaves is a good thing actually" narratives getting printed in NYT and WaPo.

"That frozen dinner serves four? Nope that's serving one tonight."

"where did all the snacks and cookies and beer go? I was only gone for one night." It was the damndest thing. I forgot to lock the back door, a pack of raccoons made it in, and just took the junk food!

When you have the house to yourself and get to let your inner trash goblin out.

According to the car wash owner, agents arrested employees before they could obtain their documentation from their work lockers. So many were likely here legally. Here's hoping this article on Zac boasting about how he ruined some immigrants' lives follows him around for a very long time.

JFC, I thought those laws were all gone by now... > North Carolina's alienation of affection law allows a spouse to sue the person they blame for an affair that ends a marriage. North Carolina is one of the few states that allows jilted spouses to sue someone for interfering in their marriage. […]

Striking workers at the #pittsburgh Post-Gazette may wind up going back to work with people who crossed the picket lines. That office Christmas party is gonna be lit #solidarity #union

So uh... how many high profile journalists were buddies with Epstein? I'm concerned that the number seems larger than 0.

Healthcare In America: Doctor - I see that your gscsttigom isn't working as well as I'd like. I'd like to start you on pjehhdntpf instead. Patient - Okay, do you know how much that's going to cost? Doctor - Sorry I've got no idea. Patient - What do you mean? Like give me a ballpark. Is this […]

We have 10 years or less until the revolution.

"You'll get more conservative as you age" ... This administration has made my Barry Goldwater Republican parents into sign wielding chanting in the streets protestors alongside hippies and communists.

Ugh we're now to the sunset before 5PM time of year at my latitude.

A very infuriating to me article about how yet again our education industry is failing children by teaching decades debunked techniques... https://www.apmreports.org/episode/2019/08/22/whats-wrong-how-schools-teach-reading

I actually would do this kind of thing with a previous management (when I didn't have to get an approval on things and we had a casual friendly banter between us) Subject line had "APPROVAL NEEDED/INFORMATIONAL/URGENT" in the front of the subject Email opened with a 2-3 sentence summary of the […]

Okay, if we can just assume folks are going to take the emails we spent 8 hours drafting and editing and getting approvals on and reediting and getting approvals on before sending and feeding them into some shitty AI bot to misunderstand it anyways, can I just have a metadata section in the […]

> In an earlier statement, Leavitt had accused Democrats of "selectively leaked emails to the liberal media to create a fake narrative." I mean the obvious solution would be to simply release all of them so people could see for themselves how selectively out of context these emails are […]

Hey folks, my fellow white transfems specifically because I can say it without "punching down" on us: Don't be shitty to our transmasc siblings and brothers. Their paths are different from our own, and the discrimination and oppression they face is different, but it's no less real and awful. I […]

@tillybridges wrote a whole book analyzing trans allegories in The Matrix a while back. I still have it on my need to read pile... https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2023/05/begin-transmission-tilly-bridges-examines-the-trans-allegories-of-the-matrix-in-new-book/

There is not a single Democrat I wouldn't GLADLY throw under the bus in a heartbeat if there was evidence or even credible allegations that they are pedophiles or aiding/abetting pedophiles.

In case you weren't aware, the estrogen pills of that era were red, and Prozac was blue. So it was a subtle dog whistle about do you transition or do you just try and numb yourself to it all. The whole of The Matrix series is full of trans allegories and dog whistles.

I'm still exceeding angry that "red pill", a line about literally taking estrogen from a movie written and directed by trans women, has been so corrupted by incel fascists...

Bodies are bullshit. Brains are bullshit. The world is bullshit. It's just bullshit all the way down.

Spicy Take: Nation-states were a mistake.

Sometimes you just come into a room and find your dog being very weird. Like just systemically going around the room sniffing and huffing at every corner for no particular reason.

I do sorta miss algorithms managing my social media feed. When I follow 1.1k people, I'm sure there's a whole lot of gold I'm missing just because there's just Too Much. I use an Android and just the stock mobile webpage at the moment, so I don't have whatever swanky iPhone apps there are.

Sometimes I try a game or a mod and it makes me remember: Oh right. There are people who play stupidly needlessly difficult games where you die a thousand times just for the fun of it. And also, that I am not one of those people.

Hey baby, wanna see my D? It's got 20 sides 😉😎

DnDer. An app that shows you cool TTRPG nerds in your area

When you simultaneously want to live in a cabin deep in the woods and only come out for meds and supplies once every month or two, be near the center of a big city with lots to see and do, and to just give up meatspace forever and go jack into some cyberspace matrix pod thing

I think the resistance would have been far far lower if Trump himself wasn't so visibly antagonist and corrupt and such. A lot of people resisting would be more or less okay with it if Dear Leader even paid kinda sorta lip service towards being a respectable leader. @sarahjeong.bsky.social

I guess the other thing I'll say is that by january 2025 I was like "america is over. america is full of placid cucks who will let their country go to fascists without a fight" because the bulk of the country and the media didn't care about doge taking over payments infrastructure, and i was wrong

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery
