man, as someone who does a (thank god) non-federal civil service job I still struggle to fathom how it feels watching the world's richest idiots scheming up the most infantile ways to fire you or harass you into resigning

I don't understand the appeal of the Silo television show. It's so sluggish, 180 degrees from the books. The one exciting episode in season 1 is a self-contained side quest about fixing a generator.

there's a kind of gallows humor on this site about touching the stove, which i don't blame anybody for partaking in, but in practice what it looks is this from a local toy store's IG story. Fuckin grim, man

F-tier twitter reply guys (actual Nazis) basically don't exist on Bluesky but our D and E tiers are thriving and utterly insufferable, all the more because 75% of them are MSNBC converts with no posting game

I blocked one annoying reply that said "actually they are men, men do this." Shut up. But seriously, one of the major progressive social projects of the next decade has to be reclaiming a masculinity based on personal responsibility, mutual obligations, self-respect, and humility.
