If your email doesn’t list five stories you read in Kaleidotrope last week, can you really be said to have accomplished anything at work?

this is one of those things i always forget people don’t know: upon release, many formerly incarcerated people are obligated to pay back fees associated with their incarceration as a condition of their release

I feel like I know my Bluesky audience pretty well, but just in case some of you have (gasp!) never seen Casablanca and therefore never had the heartsplitting experience of watching a bunch of real life European refugees stand up and drown out fake Nazis by singing the Marseillaise go fix that soon.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

what if we didn’t turn photos of Musk into memes? what if, since he’s made it clear that one of the greatest desires of the withered and howling void where his heart should be is to “become meme,” we at least deny him that? also i hate his stupid face so much stop making me look at it

Look, your mileage and risk may vary, but if I was a federal employee, I'd have to say the five things I accomplished last week were all "told Elon Musk to go fuck himself."

It's not that Democrats keep saying they need to pick their battles, it's that they only pick those battles after they've already been lost.

We don't talk enough about how dangerously weird it is that the primary way the President of the United States is communicating his policy agenda, such that he has one, is by posting shit-posting memes on the social media platform he owns and profits from?

“Where do you get your ideas,” people will often ask writers, as if ideas can’t just as easily get in the way of storytelling.

This isn’t drugs. This is him assuming other people don’t work because he doesn’t do that much work. Very common bad boss behavior. bsky.app/profile/rcma...

Unsolicited writing advice, no. #103876: Never worry about whether what you write "matters." It matters because you do. And one day, someone else may read it and understand that they matter, too. This is how we build a world, one connection at a time.

To the ENTIRE federal workforce. It's all just a big f'g joke to him. This is our lives. This is our safety and we don’t need distractions from safety. This is also “rich” coming from the richest man on earth because he figured out how to steal our federal $s and he wants more.

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

National, regional, and global economies with billions of transactions? So simple. The labyrinthine Rube Goldberg US healthcare system? So simple. Hemisphere-wide migration movements? So simple. The most straightforward act of unprovoked military aggression in decades? Well, it’s complicated.

Every time I watch Pete Hegseth speak, I'm reminded that this is a man who wasn't even ready to lead the regular weekday version of Fox & Friends.

I defy Elon Musk to come up with five bullet points of what he accomplished last week without at least three of those bullet points landing him in jail in a functional government.

I feel about the Cybertruck much the same as I do about generative AI art: yes, it’s aesthetically ugly, but that’s almost beside the point, compared to how its owner is destroying the world.

Also, this is a perfect example of the kind of bureaucratic layer that makes actually doing things in government sometimes hard! Do you a VA nurse spending her time providing health care or writing Elon an email about “What I Did Last Week”?

US threatens to shut off Starlink if Ukraine doesn’t sign minerals deal. Starlink is essential for Ukraine’s battlefield comms. This is the equivalent of FDR threatening to arm the Nazis if Europe didn’t sign over half its resources. Extortion. And utterly unforgivable. Hell awaits.
