Feeling very “look how they massacred my boy” about Eater, man. That place has been home to some truly amazing talents, like generational-genius reporters and writers, in my years there and in the time since. Solidarity with everyone affected by today’s layoffs.

ten days is unheard of and also insanely insufficient. i was “lucky” to be unemployed when my brother died. i had a lot of other problems but at least i didn’t have to worry about losing a job i didn’t have. a nightmare.

what’s extra crazy is that when someone dies 10 days is not enough!!!!!!!!! i was still mostly unconscious and planning a funeral after ten days. it’s insane we set work and life up this way

I am writing a news article on a new collective agreement for some workers in Calgary, and I noticed that they get up to 10 days of bereavement leave.

This is the most I have ever seen in a collective agreement, and I have read over 100 agreements.

An Op-Ed article in the Washington Post: "Hunger in Gaza has many authors, but Israel isn’t one of them" with a subhead of "Israel is doing something no nation has ever done: Feeding the population of the force that attacked it"

insane lie in the WaPo Op-Ed by Marc A. Thiessen

Fourth Geneva - Article 55 requires occupying nations to provide not just food but also medical supplies for the populace, even pay back civilians if requisitioning items from them. It is an obligation.

sounds like something a guy who did too much coke and cried about his dad sucking ass would do yeah

if sam altman is so smart why can’t he read my mind and do the thing im requesting

Two things:

1. Large language models like ChatGPT are statistically likely word generators; they don't have "expertise" in anything.

2. I have seen a team of PhD level experts fail to assemble a dresser from IKEA.

I’m so tired. Ppl were outraged about Epstein so they elected and work for his best friend? Ppl are mad about inflation so they elect a guy who makes us pay more for groceries? I’m familiar w all the theories that explain it all but on a basic level like just what is happening?

can’t remember if he’s the one who would do too much coke and cry about how he hates his dad when he was at penn or if it was the other one but it sounds like both of them

don jr is exactly the type of “peaked at 19” sack of human excrement who would post that exact meme. if his dad wasn’t rich he’d be sitting at a bar in his hometown with other losers who think woke is why their children won’t talk to them anymore and their wives left them for “girly men”

The “problem” as they see it, is the connected experience of making/sharing art. It’s essentially “how to erase fandoms, fanfic, Letterboxd, shared experiences with videos/films/TV, and of course the big one, JOBS. It’s to essentially eliminate dialogue, shared humor, criticism & influence of art.

i’m not saying it was optimal i’m just saying that that’s the risk of attending an event in philadelphia. it will only get worse if septa cuts go through 👍

i was just talking about the time @historiancole.bsky.social and i accidentally got locked in a lot after the USWNT game so we were just blasting carly rae jepsen out the moon roof

a tumblr screenshot from deactivated user tockthewatchdog that says: top gun is great because tony scott was like “i want to make a movie about sunsets” and the us navy was like “No you’re gonna make recruitment propanganda for the navy” and val kilmer was like “the studio has tricked me, juilliard trained val kilmer, into being here, so i’m going to portray a closeted homosexual” and tom cruise was like “i’m in a ray bans commercial!”

saw top gun in theaters tonight

Stop debating this website's growth potential. I don't care. I'm a digital hermit crab. If it dies, I'll find another shell as I've done a dozen times before.

once again, it is a core belief of people on the american right that it should be illegal for you not to like them or want to be around them or work with them

*extremely John Mulaney voice* is that…. Dean Cain??

Ok but ts is so funny on either side of the spectrum cause everybody under 25 is a toddler, just off the potty

JESUS CHRIST

The itching keeps me awake night after night, and I’m still holding everything together for my family and younger siblings. I can’t stand seeing them like this.

This the same Joe biden people swear is the most progressive president?

Will I vote for Newsom or Buttigieg if they're the nominee in 2028? That's going to be up to them, but I gotta say, "Trumpism but only for you personally" isn't a compelling pitch.

Veterans Who Work in Texas VA Health System: ‘The Dam’s Gonna Break’ Some vets say they’re being hurt as both workers and patients by Trump administration staffing decisions.

“You say you’re going to take care of us when you’re not taking care of us. You’re hurting us.”

From Josephine Lee on Monday: Some vets say they’re being hurt as both workers and patients by Trump administration staffing decisions.

really troubling stuff!!! like everything else here i guess

very cool to turn former slave plantations into rice fields and also it's filled with arsenic because they were spraying arsenic on the cotton and you don't have to tell anyone you grew food on that

in general i would encourage all dem governors/mayors to investigate their current goon situation - if you have a court order saying one thing and the trump administration says a different thing, "who can quickly occupy the relevant building with their own armed guys" is gonna be determinative a lot
