Live your life so that people donāt consider rumors of your death a form of edging.
I'm not getting hepped up - his calendars are always empty; dude never works.
Laugh Sob. Job hunting sucks... without companies scamming job hunters. At least Ryan is funny while delivering this news. I guess.
Is Mark crashing out because he's fallen to 5th most blocked and is struggle shitposting to regain his position as 4th?
Whatever suits. Just allow yourself the time to really allow yourself to feel awe. Then keep breathing.
Or listen to a moving piece of music. Let it surround and move through you. Go gaze at a tree or other bit of nature and really soak in the beauty and wonder. Read a passage of a novel or an article that describes moral beauty- doing the right thing with fierce compassion.
Do me a favor? Thereās a wonderful thing I like to call āsoak in aweā. For a few minutes, really ingest something that fills you with awe. Let it wash over you. Follow the brushstrokes of a beloved work of art and marvel at the beauty and the complexity you may have overlooked before.
Hi. Iāve been there. Thereās no reason to trust me, butā¦. Wanna talk instead for a few? You are loved.
"How are you so calm" Clonazepam, Trazodone, and a huge helping of dissociation.
Dumb ass
It took longer than I thought, but I hit a complete Online Weirdo Subculture Bingo on Bsky today! I saw my first AnCap!
Who knew that smoking some cigarettes in my youth would, 30 years later, actually be good for my health?
Three of my favorite things - Yiddish curses, kitties, and blintzes. I need that embroidered on a throw pillow.
I'm torn between telling people to read the transcripts or not. It's shocking, terrifying, and fascinating what OpenAI said to him, as well as the mirroring tone of the chat as if it were his wiser, best teenage friend. shivers
... while at the same time, nothing is a game changer any more. Game changer, like Blockbuster movie, has lost all meaning.
I haven't suffered from SI in a while, but I had to close the tab in the middle of reading it. I'm feeling much better, but boy, did it send me to a dark, pondering place. As soon as that little part of my brain said, "huh, I wonder what that knot looks like..." I noped out. That poor kid.
I blame his coverage of porn troll Prenda Law for my late-life hyperfixation on weird and delightful legal cases. Also ponies.
Objection. PopeHat @kenwhite.bsky.social has supplied me with more bellylaughs over the years than any other law-splainer on Ida Lovelace's computer boxes.
What came out of my cat Izzy's nose earlier? - Snot monsters - Brainworm - Ecoplasm
Found r/AskOldPeople. The description was, "[O]nly respond directly to posts if you were born on or before 1980." Old people. Born before 1980? That was 20 years ago, tops. If you need me, I'll be wrapping myself in SalonPas, drinking metamucil, buying a home blood pressure cuff, and sobbing.
You are The Best (tm)! I love how you always accommodate people outside of the UK timezone and make everything so accessible. It is greatly appreciated.
Hi, Sam, I had registered, but due to health issues I was unable to attend any of the conference. I have access to the Google Drive, but was wondering if it was recorded and the videos would be available. Congrats on the successful conference! Thank you.
Yep. I was crushed a few months ago when I was no longer able to access BBC player with just a VPN and UK postal code. I guess I'm going to have to learn patience. Or work hard to find a TV licence that fell off the back of the internet.
He's still going. Just skeet thought it, man. It's going great for you.
I've said it before, but fuck Troy Guard*. Always whining. You don't want to pay your employees a (barely) living wage in Denver? Get completely out. Enjoy Texas. You deserve each other. *Guard and Grace, Los Chingones, Bubu, HashTAG, TAG Burger Bar, Done Deal, and Big Wave Taco
"And you thought The Clash were angry. . . " For my fellow Ladies of a Certain Age and Those Who Love Them. Can someone in the UK "loan" me their TV licence? VPN + borrowed postal code isn't cutting it anymore.
A cherry on top that they are operating as a church, thus not subject to taxes. (Although this particular plate may belong to a Moorish SovCit which is another ball of earwax.) This plate is peak Magic Words - no license, no id, no insurance, no taxes needed. Chefās delulu kiss.
Proof that the car is not a commercial vehicle, therefore not subject to traffic laws, the law theyāve tortured and twisted to suit them, notice that they are operating as a ātrustā so not subject to civil, criminal, or āadmiraltyā laws, and
This is the best SovCit license plate cover yet. They are really stepping up their game. Why just sell the magic script to get out of jail free (judges hate this one trick) when you can sell āOfficialā license plates with Magic Words to stop cops? Itās got it all -
Cheers to that! š„
I need 3-6 of those in my face. AhĆ³game en tacos ahogados.
Woke up from my procedure to learn James Dobson died So anyway, my colonoscopy went wellā¦ better than expected, one less asshole in this world
For everyone waiting to binge Book One of The Wizard, the Witch and the Wild One, @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.socialās first campaign - the Finale is HERE! Umora is my love letter to the worlds I grew up loving, and it is the honor of a lifetime to have gotten to tell this story with these people.
The FDA has opened a docket on menopause hormone therapy. I have some thoughts, and here is how you can contribute. vajenda.substack.com/p/the-black-...
Yet another reason to hate Elon. He helped Gina Garano make a comeback. She settled her lawsuit with Disney, and Disney issued a statement saying they looked forward to opportunities to working with her again in the near future.
Wow! So I emailed them and they changed my notification to death only. I wish I had done this years ago. I just assumed it was an opt-in/opt-out situation. Now I'm trying to figure out if I want to be notified of an escape, as well. Safety vs anxiety and fear.
Dear Colorado Department of Corrections Victim Notification Program, Please just send me a notification of his death. The notifications that he's been moved to another facility upset me for no reason. I chant, "dead dead dead dead" as I open your letters, only to be disappointed. Thanks, me.
What? Can you try again? I've read that 5 times and have no idea what you are saying.
Hey, Xcel, I'm a menopausal woman, not an iquana.
I hate eggs but know the various "proper" methods to prepare them - I'm doubly horrified.
"Big Balls beaten bloody." Presented without comment... other than, "of course, T-man had the worst possible take and reaction."
Are raw dogging soldering (as the kids say)?
Put down the bong you made out of bits you bought at Ace Hardware, Funky one.
How are we not dead? Soda cans, tinfoil bowl and Bic pen body for stem, apples (probably the safest), etc... Not to mention all the other questionable dumbass teen behavior.
Learned something new! Metal fume fever, also known as brass founders' ague, brass shakes, zinc shakes, galvie flu, galvo poisoning, metal dust fever, welding shivers, or Monday morning fever. May I suggest a modern name - Homemade Bong Ague. What else is in paint and BPA from soda cans?
Isn't that where one stores snax for later?
Quick takeaway. Turn off sharing. No shit reminder: Do not put any PPI or confidential information into AI. Your profile > Settings > Data Controls > toggle "improve the model for everyone" to OFF.
"Why didn't they tell us? We had no idea! They didn't communicate." They told you. You didn't listen. Maybe there is no mechanism for discussion, or they felt unsafe. Maybe the quarterly survey was ignored year after year. You want comms? Exit interview them now that it's too late
This should be a learning experience for you, MBA in HR (lol), and leadership, not an opportunity to bitch on LinkedIn about how ungrateful your employees are. And no. People didn't spend days agonizing over the pay rise. They picked a small percentage from the pay band and applied it.
this wouldn't have come as such a shock to you. The signs were probably there, but no one cared. You thought the employee should be grateful for what they have. The employee didn't spit in your faces, you spat in theirs and then wondered why they didn't thank you.
No Bhawna, they left because that attitude you bring to this post was the corporate culture. The employee was one foot out the door and hoping a decent raise might help them stay, then the raise was paltry. If you spent as much time understanding your employees as you do justifying your crap...
I know what I want to do with my spare bedroom.
Itās AI slop.
I can't decide if using your AI prompt for the post text is brilliant or lazy.
Thank you!!!
I wonder why @skywatch.blue isn't showing up on my post and comment reporting lists lately.
Now if they could find a way to do pelvic exams in a more dignified, distanced, and modest way. While I'm making wishes, anesthesia for procedures like IUD insertion, cervical biopsies, etc would be nice. Listening to us & trusting us is a crazy idea that just might work. Warm towels after, too.
Ladies! New speculum just dropped! Flexible, initially self-insertable, better visibility for quicker peeks and less painful manipulation, and reduced need for pokin' around. Made with the patient and the medical practitioner in mind. About time. Down with hard metal and breakable plastic!
Do YOU have a better explanation?
How big of an idiot (has-been rapist coke fiend) do you have to be to send Azealia Banks any private information, including dingding pictures? Why isn't he in jail, anyway?
Fleetwood Mac's "If You Don't Love Me Now" was playing while I was at the store. Listen, that's just a little too aggressive for shopping music if you have seen the live version of them screaming and "this far" from killing each other. I don't need that kind of negativity in the produce aisle.
What, you want him to leak more DNC information?
Oh, look. An r/LinkedInLunatic has gotten lost.
Why insult women at the expense of insulting JD?
I just turned around from my doctors appt and am doing virtual. Getting my little car safe in the garage. Hopefully it moves out before you have to bike home.
Have my little upvote!
I thought they were looking for Ghostbusters.
They mostly sleep on their right side when not loafed. No matter which side they sleep on, their heads are still fairly vertical, keeping both peepers ready to react with cat-like reflexes. Shenanigans, ScienceAlert.
Someone posted an article that made no sense to me - "Two-thirds of the cats chose to lie on their left, a position that leaves their left visual field unobstructed by their own body." But their right eye is higher and less obstructed... So I watched the kids closely. For science.
Stumbled on Cambrian Chronicles and fell in love with the narrator's dry humor, checked his feed before hitting subscribe to find this: Medieval Cat Laws - Laws for your Medieval Cat HITTING THE SUBSCRIBE BUTTON. (why you not showing video info, bsky?)
I hope so!!! My TTRPG character for the urban fantasy setting we are playing worships him, so she might take care of it if needed. Fetch quest - travel to DIA to polish his demonic sack.
@realblucifer.bsky.social I worry about you! I saw that you were part of the drone show last night, so I'm sure you are tired, but you have been very quiet. Demonic blue horses are like children - when they are quiet, they are up to no good.
Spray 'em with a hose!
Since when was my house in the middle of multiple professional fireworks displays??? It's usually 2 (more than enough) and it sounds like 4-5 plus random assholes. My poor kitties.
The info on gameplay at the link is just as vile.
Too bad the āI was a tradwife and now I am living in my car with no prospectsā or āGet six under 10 y/olds ready and out the door in an hour with no help challengeā TikTok isnāt as āsexyā and pushed by the algorithm.
Absolutely. Itās aspirational voyeurism. All the tradwife content is luxe, quiet, soothing, uncluttered, and unbothered. The newest brand with silent stepford children is especially creepy, but if I had children, it might be a dream.
Bring back Schoolhouse Rock, please.
I love playing "compare the headlines," it almost makes me feel better about the cowardly, craven actions.
GAH. watery, slimy, no texture, no flavor. Might as well slurp up the veggies gone to sludge in the bottom of your fridge.
Mr. Fan, I tried this new "healthier" recipe with chicken sausages and whole grain pasta. THE TEXTURES. OMG. I had the leftover sauce today over wild rice, and it was greatly improved. But even if I am starving, I don't think I'll finish that box of pasta. I tried.
Whole grain pasta is an affront to god.
From the same people who were screaming that the COVID vaccine was "untested" and "rushed".
Nothing interesting or noteworthy in that picture. Shameful. However, I would have killed for a bottle of Bulliet yesterday as my punch-worthy rye ran out during a gathering and I wasn't about to sacrifice The Good Stuff.
I really wish I could remember the details so I could tell you more. She never mentioned passengers, just crew that people would see who weren't there, and a general feeling of doom and dread.
I wish I could recall the details of stories my great aunt told about a ghost crew on a Pan Am flight. Maybe a reused call sign from a downed plane was reused on one of the planes she was an FA on? Anyway, she hated working that route, claiming that it was haunted by the previous plane's crew.
This screenshot misses the job searching functionality and focuses on the SM slop; I want to see THAT slide, too. Mary makes a cogent point in the comments. The risk/reward of job seekers interacting with the SM side isn't worth it, exacerbating the enshittification.
Over a dozen agents dressed for war, an armored vehicle, and blowing a door and window out in a home because a US citizen* got in a fender bender with ICE the week prior? *shouldn't happen to anyone regardless of status, but one again, we see how DHS/ICE are being misused and indiscriminate
As an Exxon and Union Carbide supporter, let me tell you how wrong you are about corporate responsibility for their environmental disasters.
I miss having leadership with gravitas, decorum, statesmanship, respect, and a cabinet staffed with competent individuals.
Turn Gestapo: The cleric can use their Channel Divinity ability to emit an aura of shame and righteous judgment. Any Gestapo, fascists, lickspittles, or thugs in the area of effect must use the waddle action to move at full speed away for three rounds timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...
Gift article. Institutional neutrality, [the interim dean] wrote in her email, āis not agreement or complicity with the ideas that any community member advances.ā Oh, but it is. Silence IS complicity. She needs to watch 1947's A Gentleman's Agreement.
How dare you advocate for people to exist without being victimized??!! Maybe he was just smart enough to realize he didn't stand a chance arguing with an attorney?
Is the hidden third option "shutting the fuck up?"
You do! It's now a team effort. Go take a swing at the piƱata.
Reading comprehension. Nothing I posted from your FB was problematic, just painfully unfunny. You are being problematic on Bluesky. I guess I didn't need to go out of my way to obfuscate your name since you just outed yourself here.
You are fighting for your life. When you keep having to explain that your highly offensive comments are "jokes," it means that you aren't funny. Even the best professional comedians have to be really careful with racism, sexism, rape, and homophobia; but here you are like a bull in a china shop.
Hilaribad. Today's main character is real. He's in earnest. He's... something. He's that guy who is tangential to your friend group who walks up to the group to talk, and then everyone wanders off. His FB isn't as problematic as his posts here, but...
