you fire right back at them and you FIRE RIGHT AWAY.
Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly When I was 22 years old, I commissioned as an Ensign in the United States Navy and swore an oath to the Constitution. I upheld that oath through flight school, multiple deployments on the USS Midway, 39 combat missions in Operation Desert Storm, test pilot school, four space shuttle flights at NASA, and every day since I retired – which I did after my wife Gabby was shot in the head while serving her constituents. In combat, I had a missile blow up next to my jet and flew through anti-aircraft fire to drop bombs on enemy targets. At NASA, I launched on a rocket, commanded the space shuttle, and was part of the recovery mission that brought home the bodies of my astronaut classmates who died on Columbia. I did all of this in service to this country that I love and has given me so much. Secretary Hegseth’s tweet is the first I heard of this. I also saw the President’s posts saying I should be arrested, hanged, and put to death. If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.

I love when the horoscope app chides me for a thing that I haven’t struggled with since well before the pandemic started. I’m not being facetious, I like when you can see between the smoke and the mirrors so obviously 🤭
Screencap of the costar day at a glance section for the poster that says the following: “Loving your job is a trap. The myth that you must be passionate about your paycheck keeps you trapped in perpetual disappointment. A job can simply be the thing that funds your actual life. Stop apologizing for treating work like work.”

Earlier this year, the United States deported 252 Venezuelans to El Salvador and paid its government to imprison them. Now two human-rights organizations have found that ALL of those men were physically abused.
What the Deported Venezuelans Went Through in El Salvador
Forty men sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration have shared disturbing accounts of abuse by a regime that America paid to imprison them.

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

The people who make Shein's clothes labor for ten to twelve hours per day (in violation of China's labor laws), some up to seven days a week, and earn as little as 15 to 30 cents per t-shirt.
Excerpt from a BBC article: ""We usually work, 10, 11 or 12 hours a day," says a 49-year-old woman from Jiangxi unwilling to give her name. "On Sundays we work around three hours less." She is in an alleyway, where a dozen people are huddled around a row of bulletin boards. They are reading the job ads on the board, while examining the stitching on a pair of chinos draped over it. This is Shein's supply chain. The factories are contracted to make clothes on order - some small, some big. If the chinos are a hit, orders will ramp up and so must production. Factories then hire temporary workers to meet the demand their permanent staff cannot fulfil. The migrant worker from Jiangxi is looking for a short-term contract - and the chinos are an option. "We earn so little. The cost of living is now so high," she says, adding that she hopes to make enough to send back to her two children who are living with their grandparents. "We get paid per piece," she explains. "It depends how difficult the item is. Something simple like a t-shirt is one-two yuan [less than a dollar] per piece and I can make around a dozen in an hour.""

One of the cruelest tricks society played on creative people was planting the idea that being proud of your work is somehow unseemly and egotistical.

You made a thing! You like it! You SHOULD be proud of it. Brag all you want!

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

and this insane follow up comment oh no (im absolutely assuming this is an ablebodied person) you might have to walk five blocks
Matt Regan • 3rd+ 1d ... Senior Vice President Government Relation... George Percivall actually much better, because a Waymo goes from where you are to where you want to be. Mass transit goes from somewhere on your broader vicinity to somewhere a bit closer to where you want to go. Like Reply

i fucking hate these people so much. "i spent the time working, reading and thinking" so you want a train. you want the bus. get on fucking public transit you absolute coward. or are you afraid of being next to god forbid someone poorer than you??
4:54 8 ج . 个 •• shithead tech bro: Today I took my first Waymo ride from Palo Alto to San Francisco and back—a trek I make at least once a week. For years, that commute meant 1 hour of traffic, stress, and constantly doing the mental math of "Is this really worth the drive?" Now it's different. Riding with Waymo made the trip far more comfortable and noticeably safer: smoother driving, better spacing, patient left turns, and no temptation to sneak a look at my phone. I spent the time working, reading, and thinking, instead of white-knuckling 101 or circling for parking in SF. What stood out most is how closely the experience matches Waymo's mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they're going. You can feel that safety-first bias in how the car handles edge cases and unpredictable drivers. Waymo's mission is to be the world's safest driver, and today I got to feel what that actually means on a real commute. It's a small but real example of how quickly mobility is changing in the Bay Area. The gap between "once in a while" and "part of my regular life" just closed for me— faster than I expected. Curious: who else has started replacing some of their own driving with AVs or other new mobility options? What has your safety and comfort experience been like so far? #Waymo #AutonomousVehicles #FutureOfMobility Home Leave your thoughts here.. D Video My Network Notifications Jobs
