The fact that this is not just the end of Colbert's term, but the abrupt ending of the Late Show entirely, is some bullshit. But Colbert said farewell beautifully.

Those wild-eyed radicals at Consumer Reports document how AI data centers are increasing electricity bills for everyone. "That’s because hyperscale data centers demand a nearly unimaginable amount of energy"

I think the reason I've been a little ambiently mad all day is because January 6th rioters are statistically the most likely group of pedophiles in the world and they clubbed a guy to death and they're going to be rich from the tax money that I give to the country I live in.

The script has empathy for these people, shown through empathetic doctors. People who listen and care and call out when someone's empathy is lacking. I love this show.

One thing I love about The Pitt is its commentary on our reality of horrors. Diabetic who can't afford his meds even working 2 jobs(+wife working 2 jobs) & in medical debt. Sister raising brother bc mom was deported for attending her immigration hearing.

Joe: I am a 73 year-old retired mechanic in Forsberg, Nebraska. My 3 biggest problems are Iran's uranium enrichment capability, the casting of Helen in Christopher Nolan's "Odyssey," and the ability of Tennesseeans to check out "Roots" from a library 1000 media outlets: can we please talk at length

Give a person a fisshe and thei will eate for a daye. Teache a person to fisshe and thei will eate for a lyfetyme. Destroye the fish ponde to make a computer tell lies about fisshe, you are a Gen AI companye.

I wish I didn’t know as much about the end of Reconstruction as I do. If you understood what is being unleashed now, how it will touch every aspect of our civic life, and how difficult it will be to undo it, you wouldn’t be able to think about anything else.

once again, just spitballing, what if we just provided for everyone's basic material needs

"What are they supposed to do, not comply with the CC companies and get the whole thing shut down for everybody?" YES! I am once again demending that SFW creators stop treating erotic artists like acceptable losses, and maybe having some skin in the game will convince them to join the fight.

Villain, I have done thy mother.

I quit after 45 mins when I realized how much longer I'd have to sit through this shit. Fennell removed basically everything that made the book what it was and turned it into unrecognizable soft porn. Plus honestly it's just...bad.

Oh. Oh this new Wuthering Heights movie is bad. Like...real bad. 😅

Annnnd of course they didn't give the recruiter a reason, so I don't even know why or where I was deficient.

And so it begins 😅 Job I was perfectly aligned for, with all the right skills and experience, and a good interview (actually 3 of them over 3 weeks), and they went with someone else.

as per melissa's thread, it is really important to understand that a major goal of this administration is the resegregation of key institutions of american society

If you *genuinely believe* that what you are saying is the truth, are you really lying? 🤷‍♀️ I do honestly wonder if they believe the shit they spew out.

I once got a job 10 minutes after I left the interview. I am currently on week three and three interviews in on this one 😅 Need more 10-minutes-later energy.

I just had the most awkward phone conversation where I tried to figure out if a job interview I was having was for the exact same job I was just let go from 🤣 it wasn't, it's a different department 🤣

My strongest book-related belief is that the paperback should come first and then the hardback after for people who want a fancy edition.

"In hindsight, we shouldn't have fired half the department because it turns out we needed all those people to process these claims. So we've rehired them all! Also our budget is getting a massive cut. I'm sure we'll have hindsight for that later."

oh do news reporters know what it's like to be a public school teacher now

They are really fucking bad at security, huh. Maybe they should hire competent people. 🤷‍♀️

I’m at the combination Comedy Central Roast of Adolf Hitler / Reichstag Fire

Making choices I am definitely going to regret today 😅 but I won't regret my @peculiarityshop.bsky.social pieces! Necklace, earrings, and bracelet.

General George Washington required Continental Army soldiers be inoculated for smallpox. We would not have won independence if he hadn’t. You dumb chucklefuck.

Omfg 🤣

People were persuaded to give up piracy because legitimate platforms were seen as priced low enough to be worth avoiding the hassle and potential risk of hunting down pirate sites and downloading movies or music. As people are squeezed financially and prices rise, that logic just does not hold now.

Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.

For real

A rat ate an almond off my tits today.

The long historical trail of having to codify basic human rights in order to bring change suggests to me that we are off base when we say most people are basically good. Most people may not directly wish harm on others, but that doesn’t mean they don’t do harm. And that harm has to be dealt with.

The constant ticking timebomb is that you are replaceable and people who are not creative and have no respect for the work decide who gets replaced. I am so sorry for my friends enduring this, those being laid off and the rest who will now be expected to work even harder to fill the gap.

In an active lawsuit against the FDA, the state of Missouri is arguing that access to the abortion drug mifepristone has reduced teen birth rates, thereby harming its political representation in Congress. It’s an argument being made in federal court not just on Fox

Maybe a hot take but if you're the CEO of a company that had layoffs, you shouldn't get a bonus that year. In fact, you should probably get a pay cut.

Last year I rewatched Utena and drew this poster. And... I think it's time to show it?? 🤺

Me: that girl who was talking to me is super cute, I might have a tiny crush. Friend: she's 23. Me, 42: OOP. NEVER MIND. It's that easy.

Now any white man promoted has to be considered suspect because he may well have taken the place of a more qualified black or female officer personally removed from the promotion list by Hegseth.

I just had...I don't even know what kind of panic attack freak out with half an hour or crying, pacing, hyperventilating, and clawing at my skin. How's your day going 🤣

First couple days of unemployment are so overwhelming 😅 cancel this, return that, sell this, budget, apply, restructure, appointments. I want to sleep but my head starts filling with shit and then I'm crying again lol

Anyway I have a sneaking suspicion I was replaced by an AI. I was asked earlier this year to list "common things that are missed" that I catch as an editor to train an AI to "catch things early" and I bet it just replaced me 😅

Hi gang! I am a copy editor who just spent 5 years as the sole editor at a major e-commerce company. This morning I was told I was no longer needed, so I am looking for work! I live in Texas and would prefer remote. Please let me know if you know anyone looking for an excellent proofreader!

Guess who's unemployed 🤣🤣🤣

Weir: beep boop i have always enjoyed escapist science fiction that is devoid of deeper meaning Weir: like the classic star trek Weir: harlan ellison is so good at that beep boop HG Wells: oh no Harlan Ellison: I WILL MURDER YOU AND EVERYONE HERE

I made a thing. I didn't fuck it up. I am proud.

Social movement scholar here to comment on No King again. a 🧵: These protests are important b/c: 1.) as sustained image events, protests offer evidence of continued disapproval of the direction the country is going and disavowal of the country's leadership.

Finished this last night. It's so much fun! You can really tell which eps Miyazaki had a heavy hand in (in a good way).

I actually do think learning cursive is important for various reasons. But implementing it isn't a magical education fix. Way more important things to focus on.

“I don’t have to separate the art from the artist because Harry Potter is bad” is a shitty take because it implies that you’d be okay with supporting someone who delights in being responsible for stripping away people’s healthcare if only their writing was good.
