I would really like it if white Americans would stop fake begging other settler or colonialist countries to invade us. Yes, they have healthcare, but if you truly believe they have their shit together I have a bridge to sell you. Do they have more of their shit together? Yes! Will they treat […]

[uspol ICE incest] Okay, another "fun" wrinkle about that CBP officer arrested for "harboring an illegal immigrant", the "girlfriend" is also his niece. So ... yeah […]

Spicy take: If it wasn't made by a literal Nazi, I'd have a little bit of a soft spot for the Cybertruck actually daring to do something weird with car design. I legit liked the PT Cruiser and Aztec and Cube and other cars that look like concept cars that accidentally made it into production […]

Still waiting on my employer to (hopefully) fix the fact that they sent my taxes to THE WRONG FUCKING STATE...

Went to a furniture store to browse as I was wandering an upscale shopping district. Turns out it was one of those Nice furniture stores where just decorating a living room could pretty easily hit $100k. Like $30k sofa, $9k lamps, $12k end tables, etc. Like good God, just furniture for one room […]

I'm nervous I'll jinx it, but my superpower is that I've owned cell phones and smartphones ever since the original Motorola RAZR, and never had to replace a screen.

I've decided that backs are the most bullshit part of the human body. Seems like everyone I know over the age of 40 has had SOME level of back problems.

Doomerism is a lazy thought terminating cliche that abdicates your ability and responsibility to try and make things better. It means that the only thing you're willing to take agency over is selfishly your own self. All of human progress has been made by facing difficult situations and […]

"This hour-long podcast could have been a 5 min blog post"

"Oh I have this great podcast you'll love that goes into that thing you're asking about!" "Okay, I'll add it to my backlog" _My backlog, 100,000 hours of podcasts that get listened to an average of 0 hours per week_

Philosophy is one of those fields where anything a lay person can come up with that sounds deep and profound, a philosopher already wrote about it 300-3000 years earlier and a thousand other philosophers have analyzed it to death and every one of them would give you the biggest eye roll if you […]

Past self: I'll just half ass this task that nobody will ever actually look at anyways, and only has to be done like 1/year anyways Present self: "Okay now you need to automate that task" ... Goddamnit

this is comically evil. brazenly anti-social. just absolute black-pilled nihilism. we will not have a republic, we will not be free, until we regulate these companies to the point where — at a bare minimum — they're too afraid to put stuff like this down on paper. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

A handy chart into right wing ideology: 🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻 = normal society 🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏿 = slippery slope 🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏻🧑🏿🧑🏿 = white genocide

Let the CEO give the whole all hands to an empty room and Zoom channel with nothing but a laptop running Claude.

I won't be satisfied with "Agentic AI" until I am allowed to use it instead of attending senior Management's "all hands" meetings.

I really have to wonder what blocklist I somehow ended up on in BlueSky. I've been blocked by a surprising number of people despite not having posted a grand total of 22 times, nothing particularly controversial, and not since 6/2024.

So we're to the "even secret police go to jail if they don't snitch on people" stage of fascism. "Per this DOJ press release, fed'l prosecutors arresteda US citizen (& CBP officer) & charged him with "harboring an illegal alien'" bc he "maintaineda romantic relationship" with an undocumented […]

[Morbid] Finishing up my will, and legit one of my favorite parts of it is saying I want my body donated to a medical school. I really like the idea of future doctors learning what a trans body looks like in a cadaver first.

One of the biggest things I'd hate if I end up RTO one of these days is no longer having the ability to take a short nap when I need to. A 15 min nap would be no longer than someone going out to grab a coffee (and probably shorter), and give me more focus and energy.

Spicy take: It's not a critical vulnerability if it requires a user downloading and opening a file.

[Epstein] It's bad enough to be the sort of person who chats with a guy who is widely rumored to be a pedophile. But to CONTINUE chatting with the guy even after he's been convicted of being a pedophile... Yeah every single one of those people need a special prosecutor going through their hard […]

"And what is your superpower?" "Umm, it's ... Standing around awkwardly..." "Hunh?" "Here, let me demonstrate." ... Stands up and is somehow simultaneously too close, too far, uncomfortable hand movements, shuffling side to side ... "Okay you're right, that is awkward, but that's not a […]

“If we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files the whole system will collapse”! 🙄 That sounds as ridiculous as "if we tax the superwealthy like everyone else, they won't "create jobs". Are we done with these cons yet? All that will happen when we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files is […]

It's a shitty world where almost any sort of even modest financial shock will send most people into/deeper into debt, and oftentimes seeking crowdfunding as well.

Just saying, I'd go to church way more often and donate more money if they had clerics with healing spells.

She has learned how to turn the space heater on by herself ...

@jerry How much does DDR5 ram weigh? Gold is $4900/oz right now, so it might be literally worth its weight in gold.

I think ddr5 ram is going to soon be worth more than bitcoin.

Hey fellow depressed people, if you're like me who becomes food avoidant when you're depressed - try and make it to the kitchen to eat something. Even if it's just like a spoon full of peanut butter or a piece of bread or whatever. Just put a few calories in your stomach.

Good God, how many Apache products are there these days? Seems like I hear about a new one every week.

God I hate people who use the fucking GitHub green boxes chart bullshit to judge others.

"Don't call it slop" says the man who sells slop.

Once you learn the cycle of abuse, it's always weird to see just how many things you had taken for granted as "normal" are actually abusive. Sometimes it's something you can't directly leave. After all, still gotta live somewhere and work somewhere and eat food and shit. But at least when you […]

For the sorts of people who follow me: The world is a better place for you being in it.

When you have like 2 bars of a song stuck in your head, but not enough details to Google and you're really bad at humming

A challenge for this week: For people who list more than one pronoun (or any pronouns), find a reason to use one of their other pronouns.

You see, as a kid, I went to private schooling in Iron Age Middle Eastern Mythology up to 3 times a week, studied their philosophy, and participated in rituals loosely based upon those myths. By that, I mean we went to church 2-3 times a week.

OK, so JD Vance having a 100 car motorcade travelling through the streets of Milan is one way of projecting political power. But if he really wanted to impress Europeans he could have just gone and done his own supermarket shopping.

I'm always amused at how many Christians I can whip into a rage by calling the Bible "Middle Eastern Mythology".

I need to reassemble my 3d printer. I finally have ideas of what to print again

There's 8 times as many redheads in the US as there are trans people. There's 6 times as many veterans There's 4 times as many Southern Baptists There's just not that many of us.

Oh, turns out my internet was working just fine. It was just fast.com being stupid...

[Uspol] And Trump continues to expand the list of people he revokes passports for. https://apnews.com/article/passport-revocation-child-support-trump-ef988b27495753809324614b5bbfe699

Vagueposting: For fucks sake, you're serving nobody by dunking on someone saying the right things you both agree on, but using slightly less hard words than you have unilaterally decided are The Right Words.

Sometimes I think I'm kinda smart. Then I get in a meeting with this one colleague of mine, and it's like he's speaking a whole nother language that I don't even have any clue what the shit he's talking about.

If "The Jess👾 Files" are ever released, there will be some huge "scandals" about talking with dozens of people on Mastodon about shit like leftist rhetoric and trans stuff and techy rants. Plus chatting and shitposting and politics rants on Discord with old college friends, and sharing a grocery […]

If I ever change my profile picture, I'm going to do some animorph fade from one to the next over a few weeks so people don't forget who I am with the change. 😄

I'm GitHub. Pay me millions of dollars per year. I guarantee at least 97% uptime. https://www.githubstatus.com/

in 2017 a popular twitter game was to type a partial phrase then see what your phone auto-completes it with. this proved so popular that it is now the only business model in the US.
