And to this day, poor CRM ("Crew Resource Management" or "the captain is not God") is cited as a factor in a ridiculous number of investigations, and many incidents have been much better than they could have been because of good CRM.

Authoritarianism is just domestic abuse writ large. It uses the same tools and the same logic and, honestly, the perpetrators are often the same damn people.

At work every time someone says stakeholder I hear steakholder and want to schedule a meating.

It’s a moral good to offend morally reprehensible people: any time and energy they have to put into defending their reputation or arguing with you is time and energy they can’t use elsewhere. Increase their blood pressure, make them go home and need a drink.

The only parties who will benefit from this grift longer term are the companies who make the hardware it runs on. Literally everyone else - shareholders, consumers, anyone who needs electricity or wants to breathe clean air - will lose.

If *that* gesture is a stim then this is a stim too now

Excuse me everyone I’m sorry for the interruption but Merrick Garland would like to give a presentation on everything he bravely accomplished in the past four years

i've made this comparison a lot and i'm glad others are too. because file deletion is a really great example of the naive folk model of budgeting

Ooh…this is a vanishingly rare example of an actually useful application for a large language model.

mass deportation will crater the economy for most but some are planning to get very rich

The Post’s coverage today is leaning hard into kissing Trump’s ass. Glad I cancelled my sub.

stop stop I can’t vote for her any harder

If you are from Texas, this is really brutal

Imagine that orange bastard, prickled with harpoons, rolling over belly-up by the side of the ship.

someone on mastadon mentioned that threads' advantage over bluesky is that it's easier to talk about the marvel cinematic universe on there. I have spent the majority of my adult life trying to avoid talking about the marvel cinematic universe

What are the odds that Ann Coulter is in fact hollow, and her almost lifelike movements are due to the efforts of a series of increasingly smaller Ann Coulters inside her?

For the coming week

Ayup

If I were a billionaire, I'd want to pay for a functioning society. I'm smart enough to know that a functioning society is going to work out way better for me than a fallout shelter Live a life of luxury in a functioning society or bury myself in a fallout shelter hoping I never need medical help 🤔

Although I'm cautiously optimistic about Biden's reelection, there is nothing fair or democratic about a few thousand Americans in a few swing states determining who wins the presidency. Just your occasional reminder that the Electoral College is incredibly stupid and needs to die

this is another great reason why most people aren’t rushing to buy cheap houses in the middle of nowhere where they can work remotely

This is the best new game.

When we say “tech guys need the humanities too” we’re not talking about diluting the pool of Linus Torvalds with underwater basket weavers, we’re talking about arming them with enough literacy to comprehend Sci-Fi in a way that doesn’t get them sued by Scarlett Johansson

Every. Single. Time. This happens literally every time. And every time, the same people buy the same faked data, which Hamas keeps faking because it works every time.

Once more, “Semite” refers to a language group, not human beings. It was highjacked in the 19th century by gentlemen race scientists trying to sound more genteel about their hatred for Jews. Anyone who uses “Semite” like this is selling you something (probably racism and/or antisemitism).

A Machine Learning algorithm walks into a bar. The bartender asks, "What'll you have?" The algorithm says, "What's everyone else having?"

Suspicious enigma here, but have been accused of being insufferable (accusations were dismissed on appeal).

I keep seeing people On Here saying "I'm not an antisemitic conspiracy theorist, I just believe that Jews use their ill-gotten wealth to control the media and world governments for their own evil goals," and I'm gonna need some of you people to read a book

The deal seems to be that people can largely live like in pre-pandemic times as long as we accept getting miserably ill maybe twice a year (especially during family holidays), accept heightened risks of long-term health problems, and let old/vulnerable folks die. Doesn’t seem like a good deal to me.

“We’re just stopping by this protest against multi-unit housing that will destroy the character of the neighborhood before we go to the Black Lives Matter march.”

The results from the world’s largest Universal Basic Income study are now in. Findings: “A monthly UBI empowered recipients and did not create idleness. They invested, became more entrepreneurial, and earned more. The common concern of “laziness” never materialized.”
