I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

It is March 2, 2025. My plan was to leave the world on March 2, 2024. What a difference in a year. I still have bad days. But reasons to stay are easier to find each day. Thankful for family, for friends, for library kids who ARE going to save the world. Once a library kid, always a library kid 💚

Been a while since I’ve been in a theater with self serve drink selection. I prefer it because you get more flexibility with what you put in your popcorn

I predict that a lot of political YouTube channels that pull against the establishment will in the coming months gain a lot of attention. Both right and left. Because people are so genuinely sick of the establishment failing them they'll take anything else.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

i don’t understand how, psychologically, a person gets to a place where they interpret sign language as some kind of attack or imposition on their life. like, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Pop singer Ethel Cain calls for killing more CEOs. I keep saying that younger generations are being radicalized from the denial of any political agency by oligarchs and no one is going to like what's coming. This isn't isolated from what I've seen.

we had a great 8 years of it being acceptable to be publicly queer but the right tapped into their hysteria and are trying to push us back decades. this is why the left warned of relying on rainbow capitalism because their support was about profit above all else. the solution is for us to not hide

New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill" www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

Meta is making big changes to hiring practices, sources told me and @mikeisaac.bsky.social - no more teams devoted to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - no diversity preference for working with outside minority owned supplier businesses - no goals for hiring women and minorities

LGBTQ, Black, women and immigrant folks leaving Meta in response is exactly what they want. Attrition of the demographics they want to eliminate from power to reify white male supremacy. This is a social engineering project by the oligarchs to entrench white supremacy.

For a hundred years, kaiju and dinosaurs have dominated cinema. From lost worlds to gigantic atomic beasts, from King Kong to Godzilla, from T-Rex to Gamera, we've seen so many giant monsters emerge throughout film history. And over that time, there's been a fight between Hollywood and Japan...

In 1977, Vincent Price starred in a one-man-show where he played openly gay Oscar Wilde; it was condemned by Anita Bryant. When asked about her condemnation, Price replied that Wilde had already written a play about Anita: “A Woman of No Importance”

When I get compliments like this I reflexively want to wave them off, deflect, whatever, but Zoë really is right here. I don’t think admit it much until people bring it up, but the casual mobile market shifted drastically when Lily’s Garden came out bc I proved good serialized writing = retention

low-key one of the most insidious dumb guy beliefs of the last few decades to gain widespread purchase has been this notion that demonstrating pro-social behavior in the hope that others would notice and mirror it, one of the fucking building blocks of any kind of society, is somehow ‘fake’.

I hate to say it, but putting these playlists together made it clear to me how far back we slid in the 80s and how it's likely to happen again. A beautiful blossoming of queer stuff in the 70s evaporated when Reagan was elected & the US swerved right, and I think we're about to see a repeat of that.

There is a persistent myth that if you work in entertainment - if you've done something people have absolutely heard of or enjoyed - that you must be rich. Actors, writers, producers: rich. The sad truth is most of Hollywood is working class. So when you see a Go Fund Me, there's a reason it exists

NEW: I've obtained internal Meta docs revealing an array of sample posts that are now allowed under new hate speech rules. Examples include calling children "trannies," “Jews are flat out greedier than Christians," and “immigrants are grubby, filthy pieces of shit” theintercept.com/2025/01/09/f...
