I worked at a restaurant for all of three days and realized that it was collapsing. It was a taco restaurant with an entirely white clientele, no one bought any of the fancy tequila that they bragged about, and the other servers said that Monday's were the busiest days because they offered 1/2 off.

@scalzi.com I'm reading The Ghost Brigades, I just got to the part where Jared watches the Frankenstein movies. Any thoughts on the 2025 Frankenstein, since it seems like previous Frankensteins don't really hit the mark?

this guy is one of the architects of a war that might rank as one of the worst strategic missteps in american military history and here is on CBS getting a softball interview about his feelings

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth tells 60 Minutes that news of a U.S. fighter jet being shot down over Iran woke him in the middle of the night. His first thought: “S***.”

This is fascinating because from my time on LinkedIn it seems like ~75% of the content on there is AI slop

Tits McGee@scientits.bsky.social

Oh my God, this is not a drill - LinkedIn has added 'seems like AI slop' as an option on posts Genuinely thought it was a joke until I clicked on a few posts

So, I got into tabletop games by hanging out at a friend's game shop. (I'd met him while clubbing.) This was a fairly typical FLGS. 40K, Friday Night Magic, a coupla V:TM tables. The core group of dudes where old uni mates. These were true-blue grognards. They used to play Napoleonics. 1/

If you believe it’s important to keep the contested MI Senate seat out of Republican hands, realize that the exact same people who are donating to Haley Stevens to prevent Abdul El-Sayed from the Democratic nomination will be donating to the Republicans in the general.

So uhhh apparently Haley Stevens’ main spokesperson was also working for Palantir

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

Blood transfusions from close relatives can cause graft vs host disease. Close relatives are literally the last people in the world rich weirdos should be roping into their creepy vampire hobby.

I think the key divide here a vision of the service economy as "I do services for you and you do services for me" vs. "service workers are low-class servants I can boss around." For the latter, the expanding service economy represents a gendered threat as the jobs are often female-coded.

Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal

Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected. From this day forward, we have a union!

He generated oceans of corpses, mostly in the name of trying to install his family as a continent wide network of autocrats.

Genuinely crazy how many people on here just have full on britbrain about Napoleon, treating him like Hitler 0. He was a major force for ending feudalism and encouraging liberalism throughout Europe, long after he died

Pretending that education is just job training and that it should be stripped of all non-utilitarian elements is one of the worst ideas in the history of ideas. Acting like it's some kind of axiom we should be using to orient ourselves at the moment is disastrously wrong-headed.

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Well I guess they've saved me the hard decision of switching teams, guess I'm sticking with the Victoire. Maybe remove the pride flag from your profile pic before posting this shit.

I commented a bunch of this in another thread, but figured I'd actually post. This is a probably illegal move to try and make millions of small (and large) investors put money into SpaceX stock. So what is he doing and what can you do? 1/5

Those would be the Senate Banking Committee, and the House Committee on Financial Services. While currently controlled by Republicans, they have strong Democratic members like Warren and Tlaib on them. Look up the committees, see if you have a rep on them. For SW MI folks Bill Huizinga is on one 4/5

Call up your members, send them letters or emails, even to Republicans. Musk is counting on no one noticing what seems like a pretty unimportant thing, but will funnel HUGE amounts of money into his pockets. Call your reps, make sure this gets hearings, make the people responsible for this sweat 5/5

Elon Musk is attempting to get SpaceX listed on the S&P 500 and other stock exchanges, despite their usual requirements that the companies listed there actually make money. This would mean that anyone that invests in an index fund or many ETFs would be indirectly supporting SpaceX and Musk. 2/5

What can you do? Normally I'd say that the SEC is our best bet for getting something done about this, but the SEC chair is a Trump-appointed crypto grifter, so that probably won't work. What we should look to do is get hearings on this issue in the congressional committees that oversee the SEC. 3/5

for context, the UK is just above Georgia in gender recognition. in Georgia there IS no legal recognition of transition - gender affirming care, name change, etc is illegal or doesn't exist. how fucking shameful

And here is the map and table for legal gender recognition:
