A small, vividly colored hummingbird with iridescent purple and blue feathers perches on a textured branch. Its head is dark, almost black, and it has a long bill and it's sticking its tongue out.

Lemurs view the world as a four-dimensional space.

Trippy.

Me and the spider on my balcony have grown a kinship. I tried very quietly to set up patio furniture but I must have disturbed him because he very passive aggressively moved his web away from me. Now I’m mad. He mad. Booty crochet every damn where

dude you won't believe it. that violently insecure mad king? he had a falling out with that super annoying failed jester he made grand vizier

The appointment of Tama as station master of Kishi Station in 2007 saved the station and added an estimated ¥1.1 billion to the local economy.

When I log in, do as little work as possible, and I log out early for the day

But that's not what a manager does, right? Management isn't work, it's about thinking really hard and telling people what to do. It's about making the calls. It's about "managing people," and that can mean just about anything, but often means "who do I take credit from or pass blame to, because modern management has been stripped of all meaning other than continually reinforcing power structures for the next manager up. This system creates products for these people, because these people are more often than not the ones in power - they are your boss, your boss' boss, and their boss too. Big companies build products sold by specious executives or managers to other specious executives, and thus the products themselves stop resembling things that solve problems so much as they resemble a solution. After all, the person buying it - at least at the scale of a public company - isn't necessarily the recipient of the final product, so they too are trained (and selected) to make cals based on vibes. I believe the scale of this problem is society-wide, and it is, at its core, a destruction of what it means to be a leader, and a valorization of selfishness, isolationist thinking, turning labor into a faceless resource, which naturally leads to seeing customers in an equally faceless way, their problems generalized, their pain points parts of a powerpoint rather than anything that your company earnestly tries to solve or even really thinks about. People - be they the ones you're paying or paying you - become numbers. We have created - and elevated - an entirely new class of person, the nebulous "manager," and told decades-worth of children that that's what they should aspire to, that the next step from doing a job is for us to tell other people to do a job, until we're able to one day tell those people how to do their job, each rung on the corporate ladder further distancing ourselves from anything that interacts with reality. The real breaking point is fairly simple: the higher…

My latest piece goes out either Monday or Tuesday next week, it's called "The Era of the Business Idiot." I believe our society is in the thrall of middle management, and it's turned our economy into a series of symbolic gestures between people that don't really know what's going on.

An image of Charles Darwin with his quote "I am very poorly today and very stupid and hate everybody and everything.".

The Brain Raccoons are stomping around and saying mean things and I feel exactly like this Charles Darwin quote.

I love disassociating after a purchase. really fun surprise arrives in about 2-8 days in a cute little package at my door. goated symptom of mental illness

due to tariffs i will be spending 15% more time face down on the floor

Women over 40 do not want 15 friends, we want 6 friends, 2 acquaintances, 3 ex-lovers we occasionally pine for, 2 solid nemeses, 1 animal who understands our soul, and a very important tree.

My soul has felt like several toddlers in a trench coat all having simultaneous tantrums this week.
I don't WANNA work
I don't WANNA erg
I don't WANNA write
I don't WANNA cook
I don't WANNA get out of bed

Am I a ghost or do I just have low blood sugar, and other questions I ask myself

Been trying out "dag nabbit!" recently as an exclamation, just working it back into the rotation a little. Adding a little Yosemite Sam to the day when things are tough. A touch of disappointed Sam Elliott during trying times. I recommend it.

🤣🦅🤣

For the record, I do not respect the office.

Do not ever say "team building" to me. Are you trying to piss me off

Sorry to eldermillennial-post but I just made a perfect bowl of porridge. I’m goldilocks-maxing, entering my oats era, etc

There isn't a story on the BBC News site about today's trans rights rally at Parliament Square where it's estimated 20k attended. But they did have a story last week about the Let Women Speak transphobe rally in Bristol where 100 people attended.

Your horoscope for today:
Be like a furnace - give warmth to others when needed, then spend the rest of your time in the dark, lurking and waiting.

Screenshot from the cross stitch subreddit: r/CrossStitch [CHAT] Why I'm buying all the DMC thread this weekend (US based) This is intended to a PSA post about supplies for U.S. cross stitchers, not political, but I wanted to bring up that the new tariffs in the U.S. will put a 20% tariff on stitching supplies from the EU. All DMC floss is made in France (Mulhouse, France to be exact). I have 5-6 large projects that I'll be completing in the next 18 months that will probably use 300-400 hanks of floss. I also have a Michael's store credit, a coupon, and a rewards certificate so l'll be heading out to Michael's to kit them up this weekend. If the tariffs get canceled I'll just have a ton of floss, if not I'll count it as money saved as I can avoid paying higher prices for a while. Anyone else remember when DMC was .33 all the time at Joann?!?

I’ve gotten back into cross stitching regularly to soothe my bad nerves and I’m so mad that every area of peace for us regular folks is touched by that man’s madness
