Here's how to build a wardrobe that lasts 10+ years. 🧵

Sitting through a mandatory ai workshop at my job, and all it has convinced me of is that there is nothing I’d use ai for. Of course, my boss and coworkers are convinced it’s amazing, but I had to sit through 15 minutes of them collectively failing a captcha, so I’m not sure I trust their judgement

My manager and the devs I work with are talking about how we need to use claude for everything, including asking it for solutions to issues using it. I think I can actually feel my brain leaking out of my ears. Do I need to drink? Is it that I’m not drunk enough for this to make sense?

Making some fun little dice bags for a vendor show. First ones a little off, so I think I’ll keep this one

Anyone have any recommendations for computer security audio books I can listen to while donating plasma? Figured if I’m going to be there for an hour, I might as well use the time to learn

here’s a comic about ❤️being kind❤️

The left isn’t silent, but their take isn’t “how to get sex from a woman,” it’s “how to be a person a woman wants to have sex with.” It’s not the quick fix a guy who’s googling how to get laid is looking for.

A Quebec fisherman who was fishing 15 kilometers north of the US border was essentially kidnapped by US Border Patrol, who capsized his boat and dragged him to an American prison cell. In any normal time this'd be quite the international incident, y'know? www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art...

This art is NOT FOR SALE (he does have other art for sale) this art is FOR THE PEOPLE "You can do the straps in black for anarchy if you want, it's a free country. Not really."

I found a link to this picture earlier, wherein a woman laments her estrangement from her adult child due to (ostensibly) her political leanings. As an estranged adult, I'd like to point out a few things wrong with it and offer some support to my fellow estranged adults out there.

I built a brand new voiceover booth and documented everything. ✨ The materials, the costs, the choices I made to create the best remote setup I could. It’s all here: www.sarasecora.com/resources/26...

I told you we’d be back

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⤵️

If your client or loved one has been disappeared by the US gov, whether to Guantánamo, a Salvadoran gulag, or some other incomunicado/unregistered ICE or CBP facility, I urge you to report it to the UN Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances (thread): www.ohchr.org/en/special-p...

SCOOP: DOGE wants to rebuild SSA's codebase in months, risking benefits and system collapse, sources tell me. The plan is to migrate all systems off COBOL quickly which would likely require the use of generative AI. www.wired.com/story/doge-r...

Friendly reminder

When you read this it becomes apparent that Elon Musk is a showman, nothing more. He's not an engineer. The whole thing is an act.

I started a bochet and didn’t burn myself! Can’t wait to see how it turns out

I love boneless wings :3

funniest highlights of the philly police scanner, a thread

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

Just got this tip from an airline pilot

Note: No executive order can force us to treat people badly, to be disrespectful of others, or to ignore the identity of other human beings. They have made the resistance about pronouns, so I'm gonna shout them from the rooftops for my loves. YOU ARE VALID and I LOVE YOU. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

The morning #HurricaneHelene hit Asheville members of our co-op sat in the dark, listening to the howling wind and crack of trees falling. When we emerged to take stock a cardboard sign on our door read “Community meeting here, Saturday at 2. Let’s talk about how we can take care of each other.” 1/?

Wake up econsky and write me posts irle.berkeley.edu/publications...

I think this piece wildly misunderstands the reason why white conservative Christians (Evangelicals in particular) need to pretend Trump is Christlike and why they’re so hateful toward women and minorities.

Anyone need design services? I could really use the money I’m willing to drop basic logos to 25$ social media/shop banners to 15$—I can provide portfolio examples of past work. Thanks!

About a year ago, we started Playful Raven because we found out one of our cats had cancer. Today we found out that the treatments are not working and we only have a short time left with her. We just want to say thank you for all the happy years Lucy

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

How many cups of coffee will it take to get through this meeting? I’m thinking three

You will be shocked, shocked to hear that "The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong"! 🙄 Duh! OF COURSE IT'S WRONG. But now there's a cool article listing the biological and evidentiary reasons, along with nifty diagrams. www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

Looking through a book with wine recipes and there’s one for onion wine… should I? I probably shouldn’t, but will I?

Got my security+ certification last weekend! Now I get to… try and find an entry level job that doesn’t need 5 years of experience
