Welp, now I've done it.

I officially informed my employer of my intent to retire in 366 days. It's just a coincidence that if I give them at least 365 days' notice, I'll get a bonus.

August 27, 2026 can't come fast enough.

i hate that AI has now caused me to question the authenticity of cute animal videos online, which is my primary use of social media. i don't even know if this baby penguin actually wore a beret to go buy a tiny baguette in paris

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

If we're talking about a 3rd term, we're not talking about

- starving kids by withholding SNAP funds
- Gestapo on the streets of Chicago and Portland
- Higher grocery prices
- Failing farms
and most importantly:
- The Epstein Files

(This is true about East Wing, also too.)

In 2015, two Americans were injured in separate events where a man shot at an armadillo and the bullet ricocheted off its shell.

I just assumed that the "full book" of "What Republicans Know" would be a post-it note that reads, "Suck Up to Billionaire Donors."

Breaking character: This is a good thread. One my fixations is that Dems blow money on ads rather than building political infrastructure. My theory is they do this because the data tells them too just like the data told Robert McNamara to destroy Ford by cutting R&D to the bone.

Matthew Sheffield @matthew.flux.community · 6d

Republicans have studied all of the Democratic ecosystem's ideas and strategies. They've directly copied every major left institution and then honed their own ideas in key ways:

1) Republicans use their money efficiently. They build institutions rather than rent them.

I still say that, as a trivia nerd, the biggest issue associated with the Felon's 2nd term as President is the loss of "Who was the only President to serve 2 non-consecutive terms?" as a valid trivia question.

Sorry, Grover.

And yes, I'm assuming that the guy in Canada that shares my name probably gave them the wrong email address (again. I get a bunch of his email, usually from places he probably doesn't want his wife to know about), I gotta wonder why he'd use his throwaway for a job application.

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 3d

They then said I had to wait until after 1/27/26 to apply for English roles, but if I wanted a non-English role, I could reapply immediately.

Again, I never applied in the first place, but I guess they're saying I speak English too well?

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 3d

Had 2 emails purporting to be from Amazon in my inbox this morning, hanking me for my interest in a job with Amazon, but saying they wouldn't be moving forward "due to [your] English comprehension levels assessed during the hiring process."

Only problem is *I NEVER APPLIED FOR A JOB WITH AMAZON."

They had me right up until I saw the words "cottage cheese."

A cheesecake without cream cheese is like an apple pie made entirely of horse apples. You can *call* it that, but it doesn't really describe what you've got.

Nutella and bananas for me, please and thank you!

YAY!

Platform Decay, the eighth entry in the Murderbot Diaries series by @marthawells.com , will arrive on May 5, 2026. 🔥

And if you haven't seen it, the first season of the TV adaptation, available since this summer on AppleTV, is very fresh.

I think that's Welsh for "I'm having a stroke!"

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 4d

Also, too, you don't have to have seen the videos to answer the question. Is it wrong to shoot people, including faith leaders, in the head or not? Simple yes/no question, if you ask me.

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 4d

And why don't Dems have the stomach for it? Couldn't be because those same ultrawealthy are also paying for the Dems' campaigns, could it?

"Non, je ne regrette rien"
"Jungleland"
"The Horst Wessel Song"
"Fast Car"

Just a few exceptions.

Why wasn't the very next question "This isn't foreign policy, though, it's fiscal. Isn't that the business of Congress, not the executive?"

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 4d

I'm assuming that means something like "My hovercraft is full of eels."

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 4d

Trying to decide if I want to be the "cool apartment" that gives out full-size Snickers, or the "weirdo apartment" that gives out Mary Janes, Necco Wafers and Bit-o-Honey.

(Who am I kidding, I only buy full-size Snickers. And I don't get trick or treaters, so I end up eating them all myself.)

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 4d

Gotta love how the package shows what look to be full-size bars, but inside it's too small for a gnat.

Killer Pomodoro @killerpomodoro.bsky.social · 5d

I don't assume. I read. And I was backing you up. I hardly think that's cause for your derision.
