Yes, and the royalty part of her is immensely not cool in any way shape or form. And yes, the sentence above would put me in prison in Thailand for between 3 to 15 years, and also anyone who likes or comments on it. Yeah, not so cool at all. #ยกเลิก112

You know who else did this? ISIS. They executed people in the markets so everyone could watch.

I might. Right now the focus is on phonics and reading practice, which is lovely wonderful to me, but probably not as soothing for a listener.

..and I literally want to cry every time I pass these things in the store and think of kids who don't get an adult to read to them, but use these instead. Like not "oh geez that's so sad," I mean I feel deeply troubled and depressed _if_ they don't have that kind of experience on a regular basis.

Contrast with one abandoned projects started so my child would have a lasting record of us reading. Still read every night and many mornings, but looooooonnng term unemployment sapped the motivation to build the videos. Can't imagine not reading! www.youtube.com/@LittleOnesR...

Interesting blip in 2020 where both jump, but productivity sort of levels off when everyone went remote and compensation dropped after the initial rise.

Never be silent and never be complicit.

Ed Sheeran took a perfectly reasonable centrist position. The problem is that there can be no centrism when it comes to Genocide and Crimes Against Humanity. Perpetrators can only act when they are confident that they can depend on the ambivalence of centrists, which then transforms into complicity.

Conflating antisemitism with condemning these international crimes is a careful calculation of perpetrators and their supporters to provide centrists with comfort in their ambivalence.

Not so sure I'd gloss over that quickly, which is why I said it's worth pursuing, not that it will win. Failure to push back is what got us into this mess of double standards. There are readers, voters, who will actually take the statement literally. Don't do the heavy-lift for the paper.

☝️Oversimplification. Public figure (actual malice standard) + outlandish statement of criminal conduct/terrorism (libel per se) = on balance, worth pursuing.

When the dusts settles on all the hypothetical future Senate hearings on the costs for Trump's DHS overhaul, let's all make sure they include the costs of all the s1983 suits the plaintiffs win. I mean, those settlements and judgments get paid by taxpayers. Add them to the bill.

Have no idea if this is true, but gonna say that you should always wash your rice in cold water. It tastes better, is less sticky, and also removes like 70-80% of microplastics. Again, I have no information/opinion about fake plastic rice.

I think this is the future of HR since they've gone too far on the ATS portals to cut down time costs. In the end, these systems waste everyone's time and degrade applicant pools. If you're a hiring manager, expect to see this more often as HR's are intentionally making themselves irrelevant.

An email directly to the hiring manager that lets them know a job applicant is circumventing HR because the ATS being used is glitchy and has no alternative means to apply.

Yeah, it usually starts off that way, but security protocol and mission creep set in. Believe me, my family has been severely impacted by the administration. I wrote a thread a while back on what I think would happen with a military intervention, if you are interested: bsky.app/profile/bfga...

i've helped rebuild several non-white countries who've been destroyed by military rule. Poorly trained asswipes with guns in the street who go back home at night to their families are far preferreable than highly trained asswipes with guns in the street who get cloistered at night in barracks.

I'm talking like we do not want military rule, which always turns out far worse

No no no no, please no more of this kind of thing. You absolutely do not want what happens to societies when the military steps in to take over civil government to happen to the US.

I said the earlier comment was an oversimplification, but essentially, most avenues are political. That is all. We won't be parsing it adequately in this medium if you'd like to know more.

That's an oversimplification of the court's jurisdiction. There are many avenues to initiate a case, and many bases for arrest authority.

I viscerally dislike these shitheads, but this is actually a common framework that has been in place globally through IOM's Assisted Voluntary Return and Repatriation program, largely funded by Canada. If all the procedures are there to ensure dignified and voluntary informed consent, I'm good.
