That's a real privilege: to love what you do and who you work with. So this is me expressing and celebrating that I have that. I hope that one day, everyone can have that. And I think that is indeed possible.

Women screaming: we are not safe! This society is structured to take advantage of and harm us, we are constantly in danger just for existing!!! Shane Gillis: women dress like whores at the gym, am I right?! Short shorts make them whores!! Lorne fucking Michaels @ SNL: oh he's funny!

"Mrs Maisel reminds me of Josh Johnson." I honestly can't tell if that sentence is batshit insane or completely resonates with someone. But it's gotta be one or the other, I feel like there's no in-between.

Okay, Hank called me down a bit. Orange cheddar is indeed a lying scam... but an old one based on history. A history of scamming, alas. youtube.com/shorts/YrvA7...

Why is cheddar cheese orange?

The overriding motivation of this administration is fear. Fear of questions, fear of transparency, fear of the American people.

I just got an alert to check a transaction to make sure it was legitimate because it was considered excessively large. It was my grocery bill. I'm not even joking, my GROCERIES triggered an alert that maybe there was fraud.

Garpsichord players: I'm sorry to have insulted your craft, I respect you're very skilled. But the sound your instrument is garbage. I hate it. But I also hate the saxophone which I actively chose to play back in fifth grade, so wtf do I really know, probably little. Just go do what you love!!!

Something I love about @dropout.tv is that generally they don't just "break the fourth wall" like posers. Dropout's mentality is"fuck the fourth wall!" in fun ways, and then "what fourth wall?" in serious ways. ❤️

You're "scared" of the DSA, and have the audacity to lump them in with AIPAC? Then suggest today's GOP is LESS bad? Please educate my ignorant ass because that sounds like one of the dumbest sentences I've read all year.

Another month, another major @github.com outage dramatically slowing down the team all day. Their "20% of traffic" claim is an absurdly low estimate. I keep suggesting we pilot moving to @gitlab.com which I've long preferred. Maybe I'll finally get permission to try it.

It's crazy how many years of my life I could WRONGLY imagine it.... Capitalism is fundamentally evil. It's immoral at its most base level. Greed is selfish. Evil. Community is bigger and better and more important than the self. Helping your neighbor is 100x better than bumping your own income.

@cnn.com has forfeit any semblance of legitimate journalistic integrity. Not only do they intentionally mislead with their carefully crafted language (read: lies), but actively foster division and misinformation by knowingly presenting a false narrative.

Never underestimate the power of touch. Notice how happy it makes you, the person providing the scritches, to do so, when the critter is the one getting the attention. We mammals take great comfort, conscious and subconscious, in physical touch.

...the ambiguity in paths or choices. It allows for "what if"s & such. But when I listen/read/watch Person perform Action because Reason even though I know it'll create trouble and can't disagree... that feels authentic. It makes it SOOO much more relatable and natural.

I think a mark of great storytelling is: you know everything, or even MORE, than the character knows. But they're right in making the wrong decision. When you know it goes bad for them, but they cannot have reasonably made different decisions or actions... I can see the argument for ambiguity...

A colleague at work renamed a shared file, but ended it in "... (née <orig-filename>)" If you think that's funny as hell, we should probably be friends. If you immediately wonder whether it should be née or né, please get out of my head.
