Saw Serena Williams out here promoting GLP-1/fat reduction shots and felt like it was time to tap the MFing sign

I have read the book. While, at this point, there is no way for me to say no at work without getting fired, the way I refuse is to never use personally.

Not easiest to just not use it.

Especially if the noose is tightening at workplaces in the form of incorporating AI in your workflows.

Curse be upon colleagues who start a Teams meeting 5 mins EARLY and drive you into a panic to finish what you were working on

There used to be a time I took semi nudes and had several people to send to. Now it's just one person who routinely sees me naked anyway.

I miss dating sometimes.

Our anger for LLMs using em dash is displaced. The real culprits are the ones whose data trained chatgpt to do this.

Look what you did with your punctuation!

Honestly, with hindsight, Radcliffe, Watson and Grint's public statements where they sided with trans people, expressed their support with no caveats, and willingly blew up any chances at future ties to the franchise has only gotten more and more noteworthy as more actors are revealed to be cowards

My theory is that if we taxed most of these people without telling them and the people they pay to manage their money didn't tell them, they'd never notice.

And if you'd never notice you should be taxed even more.

This is the 4th largest economy in the world as the ruling party would tell anyone who cares to hear.

Bombay is the financial capital of the country. Home to the country's richest.

But for most people, basic commute is either unaffordable or dangerous.

I am full of shame for where we are.

Opening Bluesky in the morning and confronted with the login page.

Why was I locked out? I get that I don't post here enough. But, my god, you didn't have to slam the door on me.

Didn't realise Hulk Hogan was hated.

If everyone can make apps then everyone will make and use their own apps.

Is this going to be the decentralised web we keep asking for?

At work, they have foisted on me an overenthusiastic, gen z, mansplainer who is chaotic, unorganized and speaks in MBA jargon

It's like working with chatgpt except its somehow worse

I need to incorporate afternoon naptime in my workdays. This relentless pursuit of tasks through the working day is not sustainable. I need a long, drooling-on-my-pillow break.

Post Title: To the person anonymously writing slowburn office lady yuri in my DMs

Post Text: I don't know why you've chosen me for this harassment campaign you've embarked on. I don't know why you feel that my DMs are a better medium for this story than, I don't know, posting them on a writing website?? Or on your own blog??? And most importantly, I don't know why you are laboring under the delusion that I can't report you just because you are sending the chapters anonymously -- I can in fact, and you would be IP banned.

I'm issuing you this ultimatum right now:

Stop sending me your slowburn office lady yuri

OR

I will report you

OR

Send me the next chapter within 24 hours, because are a fucker for where you left it off, and you have not sent a new chapter in several days. I need to know whether, when they were the only two in the office late at night after a brutal crunch week, and the stars could be seen in the sky due to a power outage on their block, and they talked about life, they actually do kiss or if that's another fakeout, of which you have done MANY.

My patience with you has worn thin. Stop sending me this story, or send me more, or I will report you.

Good night.

Coming as I do from a BBC comedy background, I have a shitload of suggestions for how to make great television programmes more cheaply (such as not budgeting them at $10m+ per episode) none of which anyone is interested in.

They don’t want cheaper TV. They want cheaper people.
