Disrespectfully, I need anyone who has not looked for a job within the past year to shut up because shit has changed. Your advice and experience doing this in the past means nothing. You have not job hunted like people are job hunting right now, don’t give people false hope with your outdated ideas

I wish we could get every American to read this Guardian article about how the tech billionaire elite are preparing to abandon the masses to slow, agonizing deaths and scheming how they will subjugate special forces, as they cling to power in the post-apocalypse: www.theguardian.com/news/2022/se...

If your ad involves someone holding a lavalier microphone in their hand, I absolutely do not take that person seriously on any topic. I keep seeing it and I get the sense that it's supposed to be appealingly relatable, but... to whom? Is it one of those scammy weeding-out competent people things?

Based on today's @effinbirds.com calendar page, I'm suddenly wondering if yesterday's typo was actually bait...

It’s a great day friends

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

OK, a People's Bailout, a short thread. The oligarchs have a plan for how to exit the current economic collapse: with bailouts for the biggest banks, financial firms, and corporations. We need to develop plans for a People's Bailout. 1/x

Let my achievement be hereby immortalized: I have completed The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Stopped buying consoles between SNES and Wii, so never played the original. Bought a DS years ago, but never put the time in that OoT needed until now. Loved it, but still prefer Link to the Past.

I WILL SEE THE SUN SHINE ON A WORLD WITHOUT YOU IN IT AND IT WILL SHINE ALL THE MORE BEAUTIFUL

Is there, like, some kind of head-trauma ritual social media managers need to go through ever April 1 to actually find this shit funny? I mean, I know that marketing people in general are usually pretty stupid and social media people doubly so, but April Fool's Day posts are a yearly low.

The thing is, I'm not fundamentally anti-April Fool's, it's just that way too many people don't know the difference between a good-natured rib and just telling someone a very believable lie.

You ever just stop and remember that there was a time when Hollywood actually thought that Rob Schneider should have a movie career? (I mean other than his one-joke parts sucking the sweat off Adam Sandler's balls in Sandler movies)

nostalgia is remembering when you didn’t have to pay bills and attributing that feeling to mario

Look, I fucking hate Trump too, but Mark Carney is still a Stephen-Harper-lite business-and-banking dipshit whose primary concerns are economic and whose solution to economic turbulence is austerity at the cost of social support. The Liberals are better than the CPC, but they're still shit.

If we speak of political realities as if they are immovable *they will remain immovable* and I think it's high time that we start speaking of possibilities more than impediments.

The thing about chasing charging speeds on-par with gasoline refueling is that, as I've said zillions of times, day to day charging at home or work can be slow AF and you won't care (so for the love of god get more chargers at workplaces and apartments etc.) and also ffs you could just be patient

Perpetual mood

I know I’ve featured this Indiana Jones scene on the Nazi Punch of the Day, but this version seemed particularly timely, given the ongoing attacks on education. #NaziPunching #NPotD

Honestly I'm pretty stuck for money right now if any help can go towards it it would be so welcomed and direly needed PayPal.me/shwkitti 310/1100 #mutualaid #helpsky

Three dickhead college students from the social group inclined to buy a Cybertruck and a wealth bracket able to afford one died due to LOSING CONTROL SPEEDING THROUGH A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHILE DRUNK. What's the nightmare? That the fourth one survived?

While I'm glad to see Musk's empire fall any way it can, I'm more than a little annoyed at how many of the people replacing their Teslas are moving to gas cars instead of other EVs. Almost like it wasn't about (misguided) environmentalism in the first place.

Oh good! This classic movie should help take my mind off of the loathesome profiteers passively killing innocent people for their own profit! Oh... Oh no...

As someone with Irish blood, St. Patrick's Day is an important part of my heritage. As someone with German blood, a holiday celebrating the extermination and expulsion of religious and ethnic minorities from the homeland seems slightly fucking insane.

THIS is what it means to exercise the Second Amendment. Government won’t protect your community? Strap up and make the Nazis afraid.

Elon Musk is a medieval dickweed killing democracy but thankfully @alexwinter.com is still willing to fight for the future with the most triumphant philosophy of Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure (1989): Be excellent to each other and party on, dudes vaughnjoy.substack.com/p/youre-kill...

The Good Place Committee needs to be run out of their jobs, one by one, until none of them are left.

You know, one of the advantages of a history degree is you learn things like we used to tar and feather politicians in this country

when you say “duhh ai writing is good actually” you’re the yellow guy. this is u

The great thing about living in 2025 is that every single thing freakishly wrong with the world today was anticipated by experts in the Humanities over the last century every time we stepped cliser to it, but they were dismissed as apocalyptic loons and fools.

Merkley: "The best time to take on a tyrant is as early as possible. And this is the moment."

As an intense and devoted fan of Peter S. Beagle, I'm unsurprised that this is a work of utter genius--and that my heart has once again been broken by the master.

yeh democrats aren't our friends or heroes they are obstacles to be bullied into submission

This is a blatant--and, frankly, bigoted--lie. The decades-long assault on healthcare from conservatives has left many, many Canadians destitute due to medical needs. Most vulnerable are the disabled, who usually have needs that are simultaneously niche and expensive. This is a global issue.

The ultimate irony is that the fastest solution to the world's problems is for Canada to just surrender now. I promise you: give Canadians second amendment rights and no border checks between us and Washington and this shit is *solved* in less than a week.

Holy motherforking shirtballs... Somehow, @kanopyofficial.bsky.social has done the impossible and is now streaming the absolutely genius Brendan Fraser movie "Still Breathing." I fell in love with it over two decades ago and although I have the DVD, it's been unavailable forever. Go watch it ASAP.

this might be terrible strategy in a country built on Protestant self-denial, but I really want someone out there loudly making the affirmative case that the country should not only spend but lose money. We are citizens, not investors.

As a Canadian, I want to make this VERY clear: If we were making fentanyl in secret labs, it would be THE goddamn BEST fentanyl you ever saw and these bumbling chucklefucks wouldn't have clue fucking one about it. If you're going to lie, at least lie plausibly.

It is just, like, SO fucking weird watching an entire nation of people who didn't pay attention in social studies class realize, en masse, that society is the result of mutual consent and not this weird objective *thing* that exists regardless of whether its citizens support it or not.
