Doordash is everything wrong with corporate culture & “grind” work. It sucks for the restaurants, the “dashers,” and the customers. Overpriced delivery that incentivizes poor service, screws everyone, and 10/10 times would be faster; cheaper, and more accurate to go get yourself: Why is it popular?

People need to calm down with the conspiracy theories, here’s Trump today at his Virginia golf club with MAGA radio host John Fredericks

@aclu.org Do you want someone to give a quick rundown presentation on REAL IDs to your educators and/or ACLU Alaska Staff? I’d be totally up for that if you’d like help, it’s just legitimately startling to me that this keeps happening and it seems like a continual information gap.

@aclu.org Y’all really need to educate your presenters on what the REAL ID is & how it works.

This is the 2nd ACLU of Alaska presentation this year I’ve had to jump in on in some way to tell y’all how they work because the presenter started to give out misinformation. That’s really concerning!!

Jesus, that’s a bad sign. I must have really looked terrible and strangely old that day for the nurses to keep referring to me as “young lady.”

Cracker Barrel has changed its logo so i question whether there is a loving God in this cold wretched universe

VICTIM (Business) of Fraud, at Old Steese Hwy, Fairbanks, AK, between 19:49, 07/03/2025 and 19:49, 07/03/2025 Reported: 07/03/2025 Stolen Property: MONEY, TWO SUBWAY SANDWICHES Estimated Property Loss: $100 On Thursday, 07/03/2025, at approximately 1951 hours, the Fairbanks Police Department responded to the 500 block of Old Steese Hwy for a report of fraud. The caller reported a unknown male white came into the store and paid with counterfeit money. Further investigation is pending the suspect's identification.

My first thought was, “just how big were those sandwiches?”

(Yes, yes, I know that’s not remotely what happened. I have to find what levity I can amongst the horrors, alright?)

My supervisor screwed up the scanning of my hiring paperwork. I won’t be paid until almost the end of the month (why it took 3 weeks for them to figure out there was a paperwork problem, who knows). The hot water has been out in my apartment for days, so I can’t even take a shower. I’m so tired.

Dunleavy is such a cowardly sack of crap.

Homan: "People need to understand ICE officers and Border Patrol don't need probable cause to walk up to somebody, briefly detain them, and question them ... based on their physical appearance."

DEVELOPING: Mayor Michael Vargas just told Perris, CA residents to shelter in place and ignore door knocks—ICE is sweeping the streets.

This country’s war on immigrants is a war on all of us. Don’t look away.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Murkowski’s vote. It contains, in one action, so much that defines our pathetic political moment:

Selfishness: I’m taking care of me and mine, the rest of you can pound sand;

Lack of accountability: I know the bill is bad, hopefully someone else will fix it;

An image still from the commercial breaks in the Netflix show Squid Game season 3. On the right side of the image is a transparent golden piggy-bank filled almost to the brim with South Korean won. This is one of the icons closely associated with Squid Game. In the show, desperate players drowning in financial debt compete against each other to the death to try to earn 45.6 billion won, the equivalent of over $33 million US Dollars. The more players that die, the more prize money is added to the piggy bank. Rich “VIPs” also bet on players for their own amusement. On the left side of the image is the text “Presented by experian. Your Big Financial Friend. A BFF for life.” Experian is one of the three major credit reporting bureaus in the United States. Since 1989, credit scores as reported by the major credit reporting bureaus have been used to control people’s ability to get loans including credit cards, real estate loans, and vehicle loans. In recent years, their use has been expanded to control access to far more basic resources, such as housing and jobs.

This is so wrong. They’re just openly laughing at us.

Luigi can’t be the only Mario Brother trying to save the kingdom. You’re a team. Your princess is not in another castle: we need you here, and we need you now.

The Hamburglar did nothing wrong

Whatever is going on with whatever government contract Clear has and the Seattle airport should be illegal. What the fuck is even happening on this day.

I either missed this entirely yesterday or quickly scrolled by and logged it in my brain then STOLE IT today. Just acknowledging that @authorlevai.bsky.social did it first! Sorry Jessica!

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

I just had a discussion with an author about a terrible editing experience they've had previously, and I just really want to remind everyone that an editor's job is to *support and strengthen* the author's voice, not to *change it*.

Did Haley seriously just put an ad on the public message board seeking a 🍆 …
You know what, that’s fair, and 750g is 750g. 🤷🏻💰

When two monsters meet in the wild, the bigger monster eats the smaller monster.
Beware, dearies. The hunger cannot be sated.
It only ever grows.

screenshot from an online job application form. the question reads "Can you describe specific ways you have integrated AI tools into your development workflow? Please include any custom setups, automations, or use cases beyond single prompt usage" (a red asterisk indicates that this is a required question). an answer has been typed in the textbox below the question: "there is a monster in the forest and it speaks with a thousand voices. it will answer any question you pose it, it will offer insight to any idea. it will help you, it will thank you, it will never bid you leave. it will even tell you of the darkest arts, if you know precisely how to ask. it feels no joy and no sorrow, it knows no right and no wrong. it knows not truth from lie, though it speaks them all the same. it offers its services freely to any passerby, and many will tell you they find great value in its conversation. “you simply must visit the monster—i always just ask the monster.” there are those who know these forests well; they will tell you that freely offered doesn’t mean it has no price for when the next traveler passes by, the monster speaks with a thousand and one voices. and when you dream you see the monster; the monster wears your face."

They definitely give big “we don’t go to Ravenholm” energy

Oh god. The dinner last night was such a trial, that’s all I’m saying. Get these damned things off of me, I can’t take it anymore.

The May Day bouquets are a little late this year, but I hope they might bring some folks joy. The wizened ladies especially tend to enjoy them so. #friendlyneighbourhoodweirdo

Have you tried NOT BEING A NAZI, my dear bitch?
