Generally try to stay anonymous, but I love history, philosophy, science fiction and fantasy, weird horror, playing and writing music, writing books, video games, and pinball. May have been a space rock on Twitter. Fan of most nerddoms.

I wish this thread would be the front page of every paper tomorrow.

All of this above. Had nothing to do with food or treats. It was because the office ran better than when it was full of men.

Need all the incels to read the comments on this thread, mostly written by men within one standard deviation of normality.

the women in the workplace discourse is very funny because a man who can act normal in an office environment that's predominantly female is absolutely on easy street. it's maybe the best gig anyone in history has had. and yet for many guys it is utterly impossible

I can confirm that what you have said is true. I've been one of two men in an entire office before. That was the BEST environment I've ever been in.

Your caps lock is broken, Marc. Upper case only.

I read this three times as Bezos and was so so confused.

Eh. Probably just different places. I used to sit and drink with em and watch em stumble to their cars and drive off. You knew not to call in, because they'd straight up fuck you up for reporting a cop. I had to do it once for legit reason and got harassed for a decade.

Also why they were going under a consent decree, though Trump dropped that.

Der Fisher @blackholefun.bsky.social · 1d

In each of these peoples' cases, think of the dumbest person you ever went to school with, and the fact they enjoy "having the power to do what I want!" and you're there. LMPD basically kept every crook and criminal on as a cop until they started actually killing and raping people (not a joke).

Der Fisher @blackholefun.bsky.social · 1d

Also, at least two cops killed people in Louisville doing exactly that while not on a call, and in at least one case (likely both), extremely drunk. :/

(No, I don't think they represent most the force, but that sticks with ya!)

Der Fisher @blackholefun.bsky.social · 1d

Well, in my case, it was because I rode in cars with cops who did it just because they could and laughed about it. LMPD was a corrupt wreck of a force for a while. Especially the VIPER squad. Think like The Wire level shit. Still surprised no one has done a show on them yet.

He has declared war on Trump and made people excited about being New Yorkers. I’m already proud to live here and my god, that was the best NYC pride, don’t fuck with us speech I’ve heard in my lifetime

Hell, I don't think NYPD would even make it in like Louisville, KY for long. So many fed resources here in NYC. A lot different than when you're quite literally dealing with Sinaloa as a beat cop.

Der Fisher @blackholefun.bsky.social · 1d

Yuppppp. I get people love to whine about NYC crime, but per capita, and especially per capita / force size, it has the lowest crime rate of any place I've ever lived. Those guys would come back after a year.

We got pretty hot this year, but, yeah, we ain't got shit on Houston. I intend to never, ever go back there 😂

Not to be a buzzkill, but I thought this ended up being a fake screenshot, and he never actually said it?

Heck yeah! Wouldn't have known about this, thanks for sharing!

I like how many MAGA Republicans perk up when they hear "man date".

That Mamdani victory speech was not only excellent, it's the closest I've felt in a long time to hearing a politician say what I personally both believe AND feel.
