see also: talking nice about people behind their backs.

sure, you could talk shit about people behind their backs, but gossiping with your friends about how cool and good your mutual pals are is genuinely so much fun.

get loved, nerds! get absolutely adored!
I am embarrassed to have an opinion about what a director I’ve only seen I think 3 movies by said on a podcast but every time I’ve ever seen Matthew Lillard in a movie I’ve enjoyed it; giving props to work you like rules over being catty and rude, & people who think catty and rude is good are bores

i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

This is insane to me. "We've decided to exclude you but we hope you'll interpret that as a sign that we stand with you"

Based on what????? Why would "the trans community know you stand with them" when you explicitly, loudly, deliberately, fucking DON'T??

Gold repair for broken bones?

Okay, not EXACTLY. This effect isn't created with kintsugi at all, but is done with gold lustre. It's painted on the ceramic piece & fired again to set the gold.

That's right, SET. So any mistakes are forever immortalised on it too??

Thankfully not! It can be saved!

It is not a stretch at this point to say that, if you are using a Ring doorbell, you are an ICE collaborator.

Amazon readily provides data to LEOs and ICE.

Don't want to be an ICE collaborator? Then don't use Ring.
remember that your ring doorbell starts using face recognition on every face it sees today :)

today is the first time since 1988 that the united states is not observing world AIDS day

in fact, per STAT, the state department has forbidden federal employees AND GRANTEES to not utilize any funding to promote or commemorate this day

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!
“write only what you know” is bullshit because a man wrote silent hill f and this shit rocks!!!! its feminist core resonates SO strongly if you’re a woman!!!!

I know a lot of footage and commentary is swirling about today but it’s important to convey that the people who gathered outside that ICE garage in lower Manhattan were *so* ten toes down focused.

This person who gets maced and just calmly flips the bird & keeps going is *quintessential.*

i'm no longer looking for NM sources because it turns out this issue has a simple answer: NM has already stopped providing GAC, as @transitics.substack.com first reported earlier this month. i've verified her reporting per a source.

I don't mean to keep hammering away at this drum, but I am currently in the hospital on Thanksgiving because I spent years putting more than my body could do into a job that was actively trying to kill me for not doing even more

Do not listen to these parasites

They will kill you and move on
Not going to link to the article because fuck it but anyone saying “the work/life balance might not be feasible” is trying to use you and pay you very little and wants you on the survival mode teat. Ignore them for the parasites they are.

So far AI has caused negative job loss for me. It only took me a a few hours of vibe coding to realize my time is way too valuable for this shit, then hire a team of programmers. My company's AI related job loss currently stands at -300%.

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

Genuinely so unhinged that yesterday Trump called for the execution of Democratic lawmakers and today he said that Mamdani can call him a fascist and all anyone is talking about is how funny it is he likes Mamdani

Get your flu shots people. Last year was the worst flu season in 10 years and don't love even a small regional slice like this looking much worse already.
For reference national data for last season: bsky.app/profile/pear...
In Texas' public health region 6/5S, which includes Houston, the number of emergency department visits for influenza is already almost on par with the *peak* of last year.
