There’s so much to unpack here. The immediate antagonism towards the female journalist, the helpful translation 🙄 from Couch Guy, and poor Zelenskyy’s eyeballs wanting to roll right out of his head.

No. Trump: you have no cards without us. Zelenskyy: I’m not playing cards.

They need more DEI education, not less.

Skype is closing in May. They were swiftly replaced by Zoom and Teams and Google during Covid (also because Skype Business was so awful) but back in the day this was one of my favourite ads to play to my class and in my workshops. (2014) youtu.be/wA_xhAPJbww

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

Shit. Would definitely cancel the King’s party now.

I really hope all these people get hired by some forward thinking country and carry on their good work for the good of the rest of us 😢

Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

Isn’t this poem great?

We have lost one of the true giants of the screen. Gene Hackman could play anyone, and you could feel a whole life behind it. He could be everyone and no one, a towering presence or an everyday Joe. That’s how powerful an actor he was. He will be missed, but his work will live on forever.

I’d trade this dude for the Duo owl. Btw. What happened to le petit chouette?

What I keep saying. It’s unsustainable.

Personal liberties seems it should apply for everyone? Am I missing some US innuendo here? Also this sounds like WaPo is becoming a newsletter.

The independent press and investigative journalists (and our constitutional court) saved our nation’s bacon by exposing a massively corrupt government and their friends. (We still have a way to go but they shone a much needed light.) Keep going. Find a way.

When do the shareholders fire him?

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

No.

Such a good point. The rush to comply, even “over comply”, with these EO’s, is really telling.

Dear manager, this week I acheived these goals. 1: I wrote a bullet point. 2: I wrote a second, equally clever bullet point. 3: Building on prior successful bullet points, I developed and implemented a third bullet point. 4: I drafted, edited and published a 4th bullet. 5: Egged a cybertruck

How awful.

Congrats, you’ve invented “the holiday”

I know the world is on fire but can I have a second to be proud of this www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/738849...

🤣. Great comments too.

Fake news is unpardonable, you say? Interesting 🤔

sometimes I wonder what it would have been like if the internet existed during hitler’s rise and I think this is it

Good tip for those replying to their managers per Elon’s instructions

Brilliant comments.

🙄

Mad.

Timeline cleanse. Beautiful writing about life and love.
