Very cool that my power bill has increased by 50% to pay for the grotesque consumption from data centers using technology that stole the work of millions of people, including myself, to put millions of people out of work

If this happened in a cyberpunk story I'd be like "Okay, dial it down a notch"

What's being done to trans people, both in the US and here, is a practice run for every other minority group. That includes 'all women', by the way. Trans rights are human rights.

The requests we get for utility debt support are sky high. People on fixed incomes cannot afford the hikes in utility bills.

Did you know if you have a utility shutoff you can be considered out of compliance with your lease & be evicted?

With each passing day I am newly infuriated that national media (and many politicians) bought the Trump regime's lies about a draw down in Minnesota

Thank you! I’ve been grumbling @ how there seem to be British cozy mysteries (that maybe includes Midsummer Murders) vs US cozy (romance based? or all vibes?).

The girl, unlike the house, is herself a haunted building.

A potential editing project may have cropped up. But I think it needs an exorcism more than a structural editor. >blink<

So the pointy child (cat) necessitates me to learn to love darning cashmere sweaters. The sweaters were gifts, and the cat apparently loves hoe soft they are. Hoping i have appropriate yarn for darning.

… agentic llms doing *payroll*?? (web radio/podcast commercial)

Oh, lord, document your hours down to the minute and keep your pay stubs.

This will end with wage theft and scams, and that may be the intent — plausible deniability.

Sort of like, have you ever had fresh Wisconsin (or Michigan) sour cherries? If you live too far away, you haven’t. Love them so much. Micro-local availability is a thing, but still eating supermarket mango… tasty enough

TRANSCRIPT OF CARTOON This cartoon has six panels. A caption at the top says "History, Rhyming." PANEL 1 A close up of someone's hand lying limply on the ground, in sepia tones. CAPTION: August 20, 1965: Civil rights activist Jonathan Daniels put himself between a deputy sheriff and the black teen the deputy was attacking. The deputy shot Daniels to death. PANEL 2 A close up of a gloved hand lying limply on snowy pavement, a cell phone lying nearby. Drawn in blue tones. CAPTION: January 24 2026: Anti-fascist activist Alex Pretti put himself between border protection agents and the woman the agents were attacking. The agents shot Pretti to death. PANEL 3 This panel is divided in two, sepia on the left and blues on the right. On the sepia side, a man inn a suit sneers. On the right side, a man in a border patrol uniform sneers. BOTH (in unison): He was intended to commit a massacre! CAPTION (sepia side): Arthur Gamble: Corrupt prosecutor who threw the case. CAPTION (blue side): Gregory Bovino: Border Patrol Commander. PANEL 4 Another panel divided into sepia and blue sides. On the sepia side is a cheerful middle-aged man in a suit. On the right side are two masked Border Patrol agents. ALL THREE (unison): I was in fear for my life! CAPTION (sepia side): Tom Coleman, Daniels' murderer. CAPTION (blue side): Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez, Pretti's murderers. PANEL 5 On the sepia side, three people with 1960s haircuts are angrily yelling. On the blue side, same thing except with current-day hair and clothes. ALL (unison): If he hadn't put himself where he didn't belong he'd still be alive! Cops have to make split-second judgements! Law! Order! Bark bark bark bark woof! CAPTION: Boot-licking stooges. PANEL 6 In a clearing, surrounded by grass, trees, and shrubs, two men talk to each other. One, wearing a clerical collar, is "Jonathan Daniels, 1939-1965." The other, wearing a winter jacket and baggy jeans, is "Alex Pretti, 1989-2026."

Always thought Pia Zadora was doing something similar. i know of Zsa-Zsa mostly from things parents mentioned.

Georgia was skating to MORTAL KOMBAT at the Olympics exhibition gala

Or post when your canned programming will happen. I can wash dishes while I wait.

NBC: Ya know, just show the skating finale w/o all the coach interviews about the big hockey that happened in 2010 and the match tomorrow. I was alive then.
Hoping for finale b4 you lose signal again.

All right, I know someone reading this wants a delicate horseshoe crab pendant.

So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.

And this is what they called it.

There is no bad weather to explain broken signals, so does nbc need a gd electrician to fix their signal? Olympian skaters keep freezing onscreen. Or disappearing entirely. I shouldn’t need peacock to watch this in realtime. #USAproblems

We should do everything we can to help Democratic politicians leave Twitter behind. Help the AG out!

Greetings from w/in 5 miles of an NBC station whose signal keeps dying. Were there ads in that time? We’ll never know. But advertisers should worry about loss of views.

Also, for those w fish allergies, does the restaurant use a separate fryer for fries and hush puppies? :-/

Another reason you should transfer all money from PayPal to your bank account every single day.

Never leave more money in PayPal than you can afford to lose.

How doth it feele
To be an experte yn a dying fielde?
And how knoweste thou
That it ys ovir whan you kan not let go?
Kan not let go, kan not stop, or unrhyme
Love ys learned ovir tyme
Til thou art an expert yn a dying fielde.

(the beths)

We all hated RB of C (the film had warped do that bottom half was larger than top of film w people’s faces). They’d play it in class then in study hall.

L of F: the worst.

Oh wow, here it was:
Romeo and Juliet (ballet version)
Bartleby Scrivener (with the actor who played Greg Brady)
Red Badge of Courage
Lord of the Flies
Wuthering Heights (1970)

We saw what the teachers could easily get from the library, if it tied in to curriculum.

First of all who knows what took place and who bit what.

But if this convo could in any way lead to my being disciplined or affect my personal working conditions, I request my steward or union officer (Jean) be present at the meeting. Without representation, I choose not to answer questions tbh
