Why the ever loving FUCK is the federal government being allowed to touch STATE voter rolls AT ALL? States are in charge of voting. What ever happened to the constant "mUh sTAtE's RiGhTs" calls from the right? Suddenly quiet now, huh?

Currently reading Seasons of Glass and Iron by @amalelmohtar.com The stories in this book are fucking incredible. I just finished A Hollow Play, and...wow did it hit me like a truck. Just....wow. I'll just be here tearing up while I continue reading. You should go read this book.

Origin video game except I'm not posting the copy+paste text cuz I'm lazy. Tomb Raider 2 and Need For Speed 3 on the family computer. I barely knew what I was doing but I loved it. I've since played every single mainline tomb raider game released and still love cars/racing games to this day.

It's sad that we live in a society where an elected representative taking actions that actually benefit their constituents is noteworthy. I want to live in a society where that's the norm/baseline. Why the hell are we okay with our representatives not representing the people?

The truth was that if United Health had an AI that was accepting a shitload of claims with a 90% error rate, United Health would stop using the AI in about 0.2 seconds.

Hi, my name is *insert generic late twenty-something corporate worker name* and I have no clue what I'm doing. 🙂 Corporate work kills my soul. But I sure can turn on the happy, charismatic voice for my meetings and sound like I'm excited to be there. Only 30+ years of this to go ☠️

8 million times this. I can't share this post enough. If our feckless "opposition party" hasn't seen enough of the Trump Horror Show to realize that people need to be punished, immediately, then they do not understand the undertaking ahead of us. We're talking decades of fixing shit.

how it feels trying to lower the tbr pile while actively contributing to the tbr pile

The robot was placed behind clear acrylic walls and it had one job – to contain the deep-red liquid within a predetermined area. When it senses that the liquid has trickled past the mark, it frantically brushes the liquid back.

Your childhood fantasy nostalgia is not worth the actual lives of trans people. End of discussion. If you watch this &/or buy the merch, you're signaling to trans folks that you're okay funding a campaign of genocide against them & with JKR's bigotry. #TransRightsAreHumanRights #LGBTQIA2 #FuckHP

People who feel the need to abbreviate everything in a work environment. I have one question. WHY? How much time are you truly saving by writing "clm" instead of "column" Writing "ED" instead of "Excel doc" just makes me think you're writing erectile dysfunction. *Frustrated screaming*

Thinking about how many incredible books, music, and video games we miss out on as a society because those with the creative potential to make them are trapped working a job just to survive. They don't have the time or money to create the next masterpiece. It's a shame.

I recently started a new job. A lot of the specific work I'm doing I find interesting and rewarding. I like the work. But there's been this weird dissonance in my brain. Like there's something I don't like, something bugging me, but I couldn't quite figure out what it was. It just clicked.

Even my conservative old lady neighbor has been complaining about trump and actually attributed the high gas prices to him. That and complained he lied about making groceries more affordable. It was honestly wild to hear. The forever republicans in my very red southern state are even pissed.

A very Monday morning this morning. A/C cut out during the night so woke up to a house that was 77°. Went to grab a water bottle from the fridge and the lid was on wrong so water dumped all over. Busted my knuckle and started bleeding like crazy. It's only 6am 😭

Depends on the environment I guess. In a past job, the corporate culture was you had to be intimidating for people to not ignore you. I aspired to be around a 7/10, but I ended up as a 2. People referred to me as "the nice *job title*." I think realistically I'm a 3 at most in many instances.

All the ads on YouTube these days are either: 1. AI generated/AI related 2. Gambling/sports betting (Kalshi, draft kings, etc) 3. Blue Chew The app experience has grown horrendous too. So much visual garbage and ads. There are so many interesting creators on there but man am I sick of the app.

Look, are we the laughing stock of the world? Yes. Are we losing a war we should’ve never started? Yes. Is all our food poison now? Yes. Are all the jobs going away? Yes. But the important thing is a blue-haired college student I made up in my head feels bad about memes.
