I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

I repeat, if you or a loved one was recently fired from the federal government during your probationary period, and the reason you were given was poor performance, please reach out to us at www.centerforemploymentjustice.com. We have a plan and may be able to help you.

The Democrats on the House Science Committee have set up a website to collect stories from fired federal employees, anonymously if desired democrats-science.house.gov/sciencefirings

I've been putting Microsoft off for years, but since Win 10 is going EOL later this year, I finally accepted the Windows 11 upgrade. It's almost approaching sort of tolerable now that I installed a mod to revert to the Windows 10 start menu.

There is no ethical consumption under fascism.

Oh we're back to this bullshit now, are we

Making a serious dent in my emergency Thin Mint stash tonight

Absolutely furious. A longtime friend was terminated from a three letter US govt agency today. You can probably guess why.

Gmail's web interface is fucking useless for actually keeping up with the amount of email you get as a corporate employee. I don't think it's a coincidence that I stopped being able to keep up with my email once we went to G-Suite. If I don't respond to it the second it comes in, it's gone.

To get through the automated menu and get to a person who will pass along your concerns, press 1, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1

I HATE EVERYTHING

Loading my pockets with stones and walking into the sea, don't look for me Should get there in about nine days

I'm going to go stand in my ice-covered back yard and scream until my throat bleeds.

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?

What annoys me most about the anti-DEI attacks: We already rolled back, then ended affirmative action. Ask yourself: Where is this going? What more do they want? If we roll back & then end DEI, what's next? Remember, theirs is a political movement that wants to position empathy itself as a vice...

Today's challenge: writing a DEI training course that doesn't mention the actual words diversity, equity or inclusion. I already made sure there is not a single white man in any of my presentations. Because fuck him, that's why.

Heck yeah! I'm clearing my calendar now!

alright let's do this: call-your-reps scripts for people whose reps dgaf

This is sort of the skeleton key to understanding a lot of shit: there 100% is a non-trivial amount of inefficiency and waste in the federal bureaucracy, and most of it is a *direct result* of ‘reforms’ that are meant to assuage the people who complain about “waste and inefficiency in govt”

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

I swear half the people at my company have this as one of their life goals

This is how I feel every time I have to write a new PowerPoint for work.

me, reading all of you on bluesky: the american experiment is over. we know not what hell we enter over the coming years me, writing an email: Hi! I hope this finds you well.

Passing on a note from a colleague: People with federal student loans should download their files IMMEDIATELY. These files are currently on the studentaid.gov website, which may get deleted if Trump follows through with his EO to shut down DOE

Oh man. Having a playable version of The Sims 2 available means I'll finally have to finish my long-delayed project to use SimPE to fix the genetics in my main neighborhood, I guess. Now to just hope the guides I was using fifteen years ago still exist today...

If my manager ever asks me why I don't put in more hours, I'm going to tell her the truth: my dog goes apeshit if I don't clock out at 5 pm

Looking forward to seeing the USA packs! One thing that has long bothered me about the NA low-density residential assets is how little they look like any part of NA I'm familiar with

Well, I guess we found who is willing to enforce the laws.

Me, smirking at the bear devouring my flesh: So you actually can’t do that it’s illegal. Focus on economics

But if no one is willing to enforce it, it does not matter what the law says.

The Supreme Court agreed Friday to decide whether the state of Oklahoma may fund a proposed Catholic charter school, a blockbuster case that could redraw the line between church and state by allowing government to establish and directly fund religious schools for the first time.

Wish bsky could fix the issue of blocks not removing followers. I know there's a reason. It's still really annoying to see N followers on my profile, but N/3 followers on the actual page because I'm an aggressive blocker. I know, I'm the only person on bsky complaining about *too many* followers.

Now that it is tax season I remind everyone: DO NOT USE TURBOTAX. THEY WERE REMOVED FROM THE IRS FREE FILE SYSTEM AND ARE NOT BOUND TO THOSE RULES. Instead, if you make $84k or less a year, use any of the IRS Free File options found here: www.irs.gov/filing/irs-f...

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group: "The proponent's broader agenda is not reducing risk for the Company but abolition of diversity initiatives." - Costco Board

Presenting today's lunch: Leftovers Ramen! Featuring: - Spaghetti noodles - Last week's meal prep chicken - Pre-cooked hard boiled egg - Dried ramen toppings - Broth made from Hon-Dashi and Better than Bouillon Not gonna lie, it's pretty good!

Not originally my snark, but when I came across it I was amused: I never expected the Imperial Radch books to predict anything, and yet here we are, legally all the same gender.

1.) honestly, it was 2001, I did not have a plan and was avoiding making one 2.) Comp Sci, Management Information Systems track, because the full Comp Sci degree was an Engineering degree and I can't do math 3.) English, then Journalism, then back to English 4.) corporate training

Hot damn! Mesonet is already on here! I love when that happens

For 2025 I wanted to update the formatting on our training presentations. My assistant volunteered to take the lead, so I went through the style guide and turned them loose. They're done! Great! ...Except they used the wrong font. So now I have to touch EVERY. SINGLE. SLIDE to fix them 🤦‍♀️

Yesssss now if we can just get OK Mesonet and the SPC over here, we'll be all set for storm season!

I think I'm just gonna... stay very unplugged today.

Happy MLK and Nothing Else Day!

Wearing my thumb brace reminds me why I don't wear my thumb brace.
