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."

Hear me out. An HBO mockumentary reality tv series called The Ratliffs that follows the disgraced North Carolina family on their road to redemption. #thewhitelotus

Watch this.

Now you know what today’s assignment is.

It’s time to rage, y’all.

The ignorance, the disrespect, the bigotry have no place in Congress in 2025.

Give them hell. I know I will be.

Learn a lesson from Microsoft Auto Update: Work on YOURSELF before you spend your energy working on OTHERS. And do it frequently. Seemingly every day.

funniest highlights of the philly police scanner, a thread

It's February 5, 2025, and trans people still exist.

1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark was set 45 years in the past, in 1936.

45 years before today is when Raiders of the Lost Ark was filmed.

@richrichmond.bsky.social how do we feel about this?

Announcement: trans people exist.

Happy Threshold Day

Ready to cancel @netflix.com except for Knittens.

S1E27 has our hero Paladin up against an Insurrectionist guerilla who is trying to bury history and rewrite the truth by threatening an educator.

This aired 67 years ago.

This is 15 years before the Clean Water Act, and 6 years before the Clean Air Act.

In 1957's Have Gun Will Travel S1E23, the hero is on the side of an Italian-speaking farmer, fighting against an oil driller who is polluting with runoff and smoke.

The oilman calls the farmer a "crazy Italian", and Paladin corrects him, noting the famer is an American.

This show is woke as hell.

This is why the pro-democracy side of America needs small media funded.

For wealthy people?

Left-wing media needs sponsorship.

We need counters to Rogan / Peterson / Newsmax and the rest.

Call log showing multiple calls from the dept of justice

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

I stand with our Capitol Police officers and I am profoundly grateful for their heroic service.

ICE is planning immigration raids starting Tuesday. Please amplify.

Do not comply in advance.

DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE.

DO NOT COMPLY IN ADVANCE.

I’m gonna tell you right now, I don’t care what they’re saying on TV, consulting rooms or fictional Iowa diners -

There is no middle ground to Project 2025, Billionaires raiding our government or Nazi Salutes.

Republicans can find common ground protecting democracy, healthcare & clean water.

It is patriotic to violentlly eliminate nazis from government.

Happy MLK Day.

I need the world to remake this so whiny snowflakes can complain about how they made it “woke” just so they can repeatedly be told “that wasn’t changed that’s how woke it was in the original” over and over again.

Watching 1957's tv western series "Have Gun – Will Travel", and it's woke as hell.

The racists, rich guys, and Christian fundies are the bad guys. The good guy is an educated esthete from San Francisco. #TV

You think Trump is going to mention that it's MLK day at his inauguration next week?

I'm betting he will, in like, a really cringe way. Like, "This is what Martin L King envisioned when he made his famous speech at the Washington monument 200 years ago. So beautiful."
