A piece of me dies every time I see an attorney in one of the country's largest law firms use the wrong form of "there/they're/their."

We're fucking doomed.

Some file in my laptop's OS got corrupted and the thing is basically a brick now because I can't even reboot to Safe Mode without a BitLocker key, which I don't fucking have because I didn't fucking set up BitLocker.

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Boycotting Google for its submissive complicity in Trump’s Nazi-style dictatorship, the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, and other acts of cowardice? Corporate overreach is one thingβ€”historical revisionism and authoritarian alignment are another. Here’s FckG, a guide to alternatives.

@aoc.bsky.social We’d like your help organizing a March on Washington to ensure protester safety and secure permits. We’re aiming for a Saturday at least two weeks out to allow for travel planning.

Recipe blogs that have a "jump to recipe" button that either doesn't go all the way down to the recipe or doesn't work at all can shove a cactus up their ass.

Spending the afternoon leaving one-star reviews on every single Google app after I saw the Gulf of America thing.

Meh, I'm enjoying DuckDuckGo more anyway. Goodbye, Nazi sympathizers.

I regret getting a new iPhone. Apple is such an infuriating company. Why should I have to spend six hours resetting my phone to my specifications and turning off all your new, increasingly annoying features every single time you release an iOS update?

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk's Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran.

Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

I use delta-8 gummies to sleep, and they (of course) give me the munchies real bad. So I think about food until I drift off. This was what I came up with for breakfast! Sweet potato with Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and honey.

If you're with ICE or any other authority targeting innocent migrants, don't expect cooperation from me. Your failure is a blessing for humanity. I hope your job is soul-draining. I am actively rooting for your anxiety and frustration. I would rather gargle broken glass than make your life easier.

This is America, where you can’t afford to take any more time off work even though you have a collapsed lung, so you set up a cot next to your computer so you can rest in between assignments. I would sigh, but I can’t manage it at the moment.

Be careful of they’ll get confused and think β€œdid you fart” is their name and start responding ONLY to that. Ask me how I know.

Today has started out worse than yesterday, medically speaking. Four hours of sleep in the past two days and that awful waiting period before the next dose of medicine kicks in.

Rest assured, I will continue to survive out of pure spite.
