cannot begin to tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon the Paris building shared by metal music fans and the union for metal workers, what a delight

Watching Muppet Christmas Carol. FYI it is objective fact that Thankful Heart is the best song from a Christmas movie in all the world

Btw this is not an invitation for Americans to be like “everything has to be about me so I have no curiosity or solidarity with you.”

It’s scary as hell here, especially as an immigrant, and it’s made scarier because there is so little resistance.

My fb feed is full of both of my countries of citizenship, both of which I consider to be home, threatening to take away both of my citizenships. It’s a race to see who reaches full fascism first. My body is just in full stress rictus all the time now

I love a schnauzer!!!!! Esp a mini!

Anyone who didn’t manage to google “what is a CDN” a few weeks ago, now you have another chance

Did they let Sydney Sweeney pick it this year

I was Muttley laughing for 10 minutes solid. It’s so good.

Neeeooo neeeoo neeeooo neeeooo

(Now listening to that whole album)

Someone posted one of those interface design parables on LinkedIn, about an air disaster, clearly written with the slop machine. He illustrated it with a photo of a plane full of corpses.

Corpses. In my LinkedIn feed.

Good job, LinkedIn, and good job design community

If, like me, you missed this thread the first time around, do not read it in public. Actual howls over “gut broth” and reading the bullet points in a Chris Morris voice

Oh wow, I 100000% approve of this, I wanna get the app just so I can have one

I won’t say “no one” is talking about it bc people are, and I found out from my neighbor, but the news is ENDLESS coverage of Trump and next to nothing on this. Stefan said SVT didn’t even cover it on Sunday morning. They’re just gonna be allowed to take over without a fight.

Their strategy is to do it as much as possible, as often as possible, even with small numbers, to make it difficult to counter them. I’m definitely not going to go near the city center for a while, since it doesn’t feel safe for anyone, especially foreigners.

For those outside Sweden who are too lazy to use the translate function: Nazis marched unimpeded and without a permit last weekend, including the extremely dangerous organization where our immigration minister’s son is a member. And they’re planning to do it again this weekend.

These guys are so dangerous. I honestly don’t know why there isn’t a LOT more coverage of what’s happening right now. I’m gonna be real awkward and just start bringing it up as much as possible.

“I’m moving to Europe” Americans are the fucking worst. No solidarity with anyone! They always say they left for “political reasons,” but we never see them organizing, just bragging about how good they have it, licking boots, and doing social content as “expert expats”. I do not wish them well.

Oh yeah, under the OP’s post! Two of them so far! Saying it’s a good bill because it makes it easier for people who want to renounce. Went to one profile and it’s some guy who brags about his cheap penthouse apartment in Albania (not famously the best place to escape political chaos)!

Seeing people who claim to be progressives defending this because they live as “expats” in countries where they can afford to ignore politics (until something goes wrong for them…), I just wanna scream. I also don’t like filing my FBAR every year, but like…human rights??? This is horrifying

Welp @rusty.todayintabs.com has given us the best analogy for generative AI and but also ruined lemonade

Just call me HUGE WALK

This is amazing! Thank you!

The Innovation Delusion by Lee Vinsel, Andrew L. Russell: 9780525575689 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books “Innovation” is the hottest buzzword in business. But what if our obsession with finding the next big thing has distracted us from the work that matters most? “The...

I love this book so much and I recommend it to everyone! I actually found out about it through Lee Vinsel, who cowrote this great book, which also covers this innovation as heresy concept

I think a big thing I struggle with, and something that is an important thing for people of my generation to attempt to understand, is separating toxic nostalgia from knowledge of the actual ways in which American life has gotten appreciably worse in my lifetime

Imagine being as fragile as one of these guys! And I mean, I thought he was funny, but he’s hardly left a hole in people’s lives

I think he did Riyadh as well, which is hardly 1. Cancellation or 2. What you do if you want your old fan base back

(Obviously not doing any accountability is the main thing, but who even expected that)

Wait, did Louis CK even get “cancelled”? I know that’s not even really a thing, but I didn’t see any evidence that he even experienced the thing people say is “cancellation”

I have looked at Karoline Leavitt’s thanksgiving spread so many times. I just keep zooming in and being sort of in awe.
