Tauroctonist @tauroctonist.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It's my understanding that the Eiffel Tower comes with women. If your religion tells you not to see women, then don't go to see the Eiffel Tower, and especially don't demand that women be hidden or removed while you're there. Good for the French workers for shutting that noise down emphatically. 110
Tauroctonist @tauroctonist.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I love how everything is cloud-based at the office these days. What better way to slow down the fastest computers we've ever had? Three minutes (or more!) to be able to start working after powering on? It's just like being in the 90s again! 000
