Cory booker is one of about 6 Dems I respect still at the national level

“What’s your favorite prince song?” Are you kidding me?!?! I could maaaaybe narrow it down to top 20.

Out in the bougie county for some bullshit and it dawns on me that one of reasons I prefer to stay home in winter is bundled up in a big black coat /black winter hat/etc etc I worry that people will mistakenly think I’m straight

It's funny how "intersectionality" never became a boogyman of the right, despite it being a leftist buzzword meaning roughly the same as the stuff they fear monger (political correctness, wokeness, critical race theory, DEI, etc). Probably because they are literally too dumb to use words that long.

we're we here fuck we're shit queer up

We live close enough now for the kids to walk to the grocery store and buy themselves treats and I’m much dismayed by this because they have terrible taste and there’s nothing I want to steal

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.

After spending a lot of time thinking about what exactly is wrong with the world, I've finally come to a conclusion: it's the people.

Cannot catch a single fucking break. I give up

Restarting at 55 wasn’t the plan. This sucks.

Culture sucks down words Itemise loathing And feed yourself smiles youtu.be/gavcjNniIvk?...

If kids got raped by clowns as often as they get raped by preachers it would be against the law to take your kids to the circus.

And there’s not much left of me What you get is what you see Is it worth the energy I leave it up to you -Joe Jackson

The only takeaway from last night's SOTU speech that actually matters so far as our future is concerned is that only ONE democrat was removed from the chamber for standing up to Trump's bullshit. Only one old democrat with a cane and no fucks left for fascism. It should have been ALL of them.

Started my day by internally commenting this on a ticket... I cannot adequately express in a professional manner just how stupid I think this is.

I've been in the AWS ecosystem for over a decade now and I know I am biased by what I'm used to, but goddamn the UI/UX in GCP is the worst I've seen in IT since the 90's and they actively remove functionality to make it harder to use.

Can’t find my leatherman amongst the moving chaos, but this works

Gave a “Lunch & Learn” at work on “How to Discover New Music without using Spotify” I got a full 40 minutes in before bringing up Prince, which one of my coworkers had bet I would not be able to go that long :)coworkers had bet I couldn’t do (he figured it would come up in the first 5 minutes)

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

Parallel parking into a tight space uphill on the snow and ice not one of my favorite moments. But I did it with no damage to anything .

Today I was reminded of the inimitable internet resource www.kissthisguy.com, which much to my great surprise more than 25 years on has not become a porn or SEO bullshit site.

Economists have to go to school for so long because it is a very difficult field. It takes a lot of time and energy to figure out a reason why paying poor people more money is bad for them.

It’s always permissions. Or DNS.

A lot of people are confused by how someone so seemingly stupid as Elon Musk could become the richest person in the world, so they come up with all sorts of theories about how he must be secretly smart. Allow me to explain: the world is stupid too.

The QT’s on this are epic! But the thing is: it’s not just this asshole. The vast majority of men on the right basically DO want to make it illegal to dislike them. They want women to be forced to be with them even if they don’t want, and they want it to be illegal to say any mean things about them

Oh hey, I’m in a band… HTTPS://youtube.com/@btchface-b1e

Pretty wild that Elon’s debut as president elect was to strip funding for pediatric cancer research from the spending bill, only to watch the Senate have to pass it as a standalone bill. His first move was to fuck over kids with cancer.

When social media sites tell you moderation has limits I want you to know there was a time when you could only find the worst people on obscure forums created for being offensive because everywhere else moderated them into those corners.

“Federal charges have been filed against [Missouri State Highway Patrol trooper David McKnight and former Florissant, Missouri police officer Julian Alcala], accused of separate plots to steal nude photos from women's phones during traffic stops.” #Missouri

I'm not going to lie, there is something extra sweet in blocking the sort of dude who tells you that blocking means the other dude has won

It was just pointed out to me that a recent update to the Bluesky client now allows you to block bots, trolls and chuds directly from their obnoxious comments via the right click menu, so I checked and sure enough, there it is (highlighted in the picture). Truly this is an age of wonders.
