I'm tired of being enraged today. Here's a baby goat in a wig. (Sh. It counts )

"AI" is, purely, a marketing term and a (poor) umbrella phrase for a number of different types of computerized statistical analysis, iteration and synthesis. If something is being touted as "AI" to me, it's because someone wants me to buy it, and also I probably don't need it.

I truly do try not to stan celebrities, but every time Ritchson opens his mouth to speak I like him more.

We’ve been watching PARADISE on Hulu, starring Sterling K. Brown as a Secret Service agent… I want to tell you more but really just go watch the pilot and see for yourself.

"a woman, representing Liberty, trampling a lion who represents Tyranny. the design is encircled by the words "Both Can't Survive"

After publishing this story, which features a picture of the protest at Children's National in DC, I have been informed that moments ago, Childrens National in DC has resumed transgender care. The hospital protests worked! Keep doing them!

We finally got permission to turn on our solar panel system on Friday and today is the first truly sunny day since then, so I cannot stop checking the app to see how much power we're exporting back to the grid.

Such an elegant way to heavily imply a mountain of nudes

TWICE A DAY, EVERY DAY. How many problems could have been prevented if y'all had just given us two Senators and a Rep when you had the chance?

Never interrupt somebody in the middle of their set! It's just rude!

Anyway, took my kid to get his TDaP shot at the pharmacy instead of waiting a couple of months to get it from the pediatrician because of the unhinged fool running HHS, and then took him to see a movie about a Black hero trying to work around a covert rage monster in the White House. For escapism.

MOOPSY!

I'm willing to discuss whether antidepressants are overprescribed. But people aren't "addicted" to them any more than people with heart issues are "addicted" to statins. Nice to know that the new head of HHS is going to reverse a couple of decades progress in discussing mental health.

Tonight’s family viewing: 101 Dalmatians, a fine tale of solidarity and mutual aid.

[Discussing our Pizza Friday order on Valentine’s Day] 11yo: But heart-shaped pizza is UNNATURAL! Me: Because ROUND pizza grows that way from the pizza tree, as God intended?

Just in case people don't know the context, this is a policy called splitting the letters, developed by fundamentalist Christians to use feminist and queer language and culture to split the T off and then turn the others against each other. You can watch their 2017 conference planning it.

This is, I gather, a general problem — Federal employees taking new roles often go back to "probationary" status no matter how long they've been in their prior role, so blanket layoffs of probationary folks are actually taking out a lot of long-term institutional experience

this would even have been a big scandal *in the previous trump administration.* we will see how much that's still true

obviously this is terrible for democracy and the rule of law in America but I'm also offended on behalf of the prisoner's dilemma

“It was never going to be me” is a hell of a closer.

Did you ever make a pivot table so useful you want to show it to everyone you know?

Everything is terrible but I legit cackled.

The DOGE tweens use of Elementor spells trouble for Gen-Z use of technology and the future of WordPress, in this essay I will…

In case this won't be reported, Senate Dems are holding the floor for 30 hours to try to stall the RFK Vote! Here's the press release from Wyden's office.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Good thread up and down, but a tangent about how my friend with whom I most enjoyed Galentine's Day eventually realized they were NB, so now every year I'm like, "what is the inclusive thing? our friendship grows ever more precious but they are not a 'gal'" and WHY DID I NOT THINK OF "PALENTINE?"

“Beans r not woke. How could you do this?” has killed me

I've been WFH for 9 years now and finally, today, was my first "forget that camera and audio are on while I'm talking to the spouse" moment so my coworkers got several solid minutes of me shouting about the Pope spitting fire at JD Vance while we were supposed to be looking at JIRA tickets.

Imagine converting to a religion as an adult and barely five years into it having 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙡𝙤𝙗𝙖𝙡 𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙤𝙣 tell the whole world that you that you don’t understand its basic tenets and are doing a bad job

I’m putting this on my LinkedIn profile.

I contracted at an agency once where they would photocopy their docs for Congress in B/W, even though color cost the same, because there's a perception that color is more expensive and therefore wasteful.

We’ve become used to right wingers throwing tantrums every time black people are on tv in something everyone is watching (the olympics, superbowl, ect) but it’s actually fucking weird and we shouldn’t act like that’s a normal reaction

Mediocre white men discovering all the money they make depends on the rule of law oh no

The CFPB was dismantled over the weekend, with all activities suspended, its funding reduced to zero, and its headquarters temporarily closed—removing a crucial layer of oversight for consumer-facing financial companies. Staff members ordered to cease all ‘supervision and examination activities.
