If your job listing doesn't include compensation information, I'mma sail right past that MF. Transparency is the new capital, man.

Can't help but wonder who Israel is going to attack next.

Got news for you, #IBM, #DELL, #NVIDIA, and so many more: "...complying with all laws" doesn't make you any less morally bankrupt. #TimetoPayThePiper #PeopleOverMoney #ChineseGovtSuppression #UghyurFreedom

If you refuse to vaccinate for anything other than medical contraindications you are literally a bioterrorist.

Excellent point! I hadn't thought of it that way. ⭐️ for you! I was thinking of 0 being ten, but it's actually not. Nice.

I've done a lot of research into this recently in an effort to not reinvent the wheel for my own podcast that we briefly chatted about. Happy to provide any info I can. Also Jen has learned a LOT and he be picked up stuff from her work on her 'cast.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Lesson in writing-while-white: Hawaiian uses ʻokina (glottal stop) + kahakō (macron) to change meaning. Not optional. Not decorative. Language & culture deserve more than guesswork. Hit the link for a great resource. How do you handle writing unfamiliar languages? #BookSky #AmWriting #ʻŌleloHawaiʻi

Just saying, @nspband.bsky.social is a severely underrated band. "Danny Don't You Know" is one of my all time fav songs for a load of reasons but mainly because it's FUN. #GreatMusic

At what point do we stop being "close allies" with a government that keeps starting wars? Especially when our own #OrangeTwatwaffle joins in? #FreePalestine #BibiSucks

Tried "Color Me Mine" tonight with the most beautiful partner ever (not the alien). Cool experience if a bit pricey for the pieces ($22 ea!). Of course I had to go for this pair. #ChibiAstronautFTW

This is an awesome book by a super-talented writer. If you like historical/action thrillers, it doesn't get better than this.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. There's no episode 8 for season 2 of #TLOU? They're ending the season there and making us wait another 2 years? #FuckThat #ImOut #TWDSeason6Anyone?

Please enjoy these shelter pups reacting to getting a kiss. Some are bashful, some have butterflies, and all deserve approximately 10 million more. 14/10 for all

Every time I watch the excellent #Villeneuve film #ARRIVAL, I'm struck dumb anew. 1st time: 🀯 at the idea of divorcing of language from sound & time. Today, it a comment from my partner: "Choice is only choice if you presuppose that time is linear." #LanguageIsCool #TimeisMeaningless

Got an 85% on my Econ final today. One step closer to my degree and being DONE with school so I can focus on what I'm really meant to do: tell stories.

Damn right. I wish they'd had a better setup behind the scenes - was a fun con otherwise. Learned a lot from you and since, and still do. Thanks, brother. 😎
