The Fig Economy @figgityfigs.bsky.social · 20h

Every once in a while I run into a COVID zero type dead ender, and the more time goes by, the more their claims get unhinged and frankly crossbred with antivax conspiracy theories. Just saw one in Jamelle’s replies saying vaccines are good but COVID itself causes “turbo cancer.”

I try not to repost news from Meidas because, and this is important, they click bait and rage bait and honestly I don't think any of us need that shit.

Serving in the U.S. Navy was one of the greatest honors of my life.
Happy 250th Birthday to the United States Navy.

Happy Birthday to the US Navy

A black and white pic of the Titanic. Which was never involved with the US Navy. Kinda like a lot of the ships in pics posted by politicians in their “happy birthday, navy!” posts

Over at the other place, I’ll get a ton of DM requests from bots & I’ll occasionally respond to see where it goes. This is shaping up to be an all-timer. “Chunk connoisseur” is taking me out.

Amazing how Trump’s whole thing in the old days was to be this rich playboy who fucks sexy models and gets whatever he wants, only to give birth to the three ugliest sons on the planet

BREAKING: Look at this.

A new crypto account was opened yesterday morning.

30 minutes BEFORE Trump's announcement of 100% tariffs on China, it added a huge multi-million dollar levered Bitcoin short position, per YF.

Market dumped.

The trader made a profit of $192 million in two hours.

Unusual.

The whole internet loves Cola Bottle Nate, a lovely guy who almost kills himself eating Haribro cola bottles! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you Mr. Rimmington is racist

Nathan Rimmington, 33, is a haulier and owner of an HGV driving school in Barnsley. Huge, tattooed, always sweating and always pining for a pint, he is portrayed in the series as an incorrigible joker: "If the government don't crack down on immigration, my kids will have to go to school on fucking camels."

This is definitely something I would do. Chemo makes it impossible to eat, but the one thing I can always reliably put away is candy

Well, my chemo nurse kinda gave me some perspective this week - nobody thought I’d still be around but she’s never seen anyone do so well with this treatment. I should have died a few times by now but I guess it’s just not quite time yet.

Bummer you weren’t on the RAE pod I listened to on my way here. But thankfully @badgernoonan.bsky.social got me through it.

God chemo kicked my ass so hard this week. Not great timing since today is a 13 hour work day plus 2 hours of driving tacked on. I think I might die?

Sooner or later I’ll probably have to stop doing this to myself

Just moving some data from one server to another. Simple stuff but it was still kinda neat to see it work.

Wrote my first Python script today. MS Copilot did the heavy lifting. Not wild about having to use AI but I reckon if I’m gonna it better be useful and today it was.

Man this sucks. Like I’m pretty sure what you’re dealing with is worse than a lot of chemo
