Internet muskox, queer person, economist & a bunch of other stuff. 40/any pronouns. Don't expect a cohesive brand from me. Please no begging/solicitation. I'm tired and poor as fuck.

Just to Start, since this is a member of my discipline either obfuscating the truth or forgetting it: The cost of shelter has risen much faster than the cost of the items used to measure inflation (usually a 'basket of goods')

Love the charts. I wish people were more curious about why people's lived reality doesn't match up with the charts, because nothing is more frustrating to poor people than feeling like they're being gaslit by exasperated Democrats

Everyone has utterly lost the plot about the actual material state of the economy. It's as if the last 4 years did not happen. Denial of the shape of the earth. There's really no other conclusion other than that nothing actually matters anymore. We're through the looking glass into pure vibes.

The message must be "No bailouts for billionaires." AI is not too big to fail. And should it fail, the richest men in the world should be held accountable and take responsibility for their failures.

I'll never forget the pitch of a (thankfully failed) startup I ran across years ago, that was basically "Don't you wish you could monetize your friendships? Now you can! Our new app and shitcoin makes it easy to keep track of the favors you do for one another, to cash in later!"

Funnily enough, my first time with that fight was my easiest. I was a dragoon and the math just worked out so I could land before he went. Until I replayed it I had no idea why others had a hard time.

Not that it was a problem since you cleared it but they fixed that in IC, you can exit if you need to.

I hope this little dude never outgrows the part of his personality that says “if you see an open human hand, that’s where your tiny face should go”. He does it literally all the time. If I present my hand to him and he’s not super hyper (even if he is sometimes), he just puts his head there.

Please do as shaun says, but not before reporting the account for spreading disinfo.

genAI is so good nowadays that we're all gonna get got eventually, but being told/shown over and over that you're disseminating a lie, and just ignoring people who point it out, is a serious red flag.

Ever since 2013 you can't reticulate splines like you did back in the old days. Shame.

getting reticulated must feel so good if you're a spline

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Thinking about that time the My Little Pony comics, of all things, absolutely bodied Scott Adams.
Close up of Pinkie Pie looking at a newspaper comic saying “Hmpf. I thought these were supposed to be funny?”

The comic is called Ponybert by Trot Adams. It opens with a building and we see a word balloon that says “Well?” The second panel is of Ponybert, the Dilbert stand-in saying “No one is smart but me.”

Cis people are perfectly capable of objecting to the current crop of Harry Potter fascist sympathisers with the same stridency as they did to Kimmel’s cancellation or the Riyadh Comedy Festival. They simply choose not to, because they agree with Rowling that we must be kept down at heel.

I haven't seen a single article about how Matt Berry or Kit Harrington or John Lithgow or Keira Knightley or fucking Nick Frost AND Simon Pegg have very publicly made it clear that they value a big blood soaked paycheck over human rights

Not knowing anything about the Mariners, I thought the people raving about Humpy were talking about a player.

Nothing could be further from the truth. I've discovered Humpy is a salmon mascot who lost over 160 races before winning one during game 5 last night moments before the walk-off single win

We banned a guy on the Steam forums for repeatedly saying there were “too many women” in our game

So he flipped his positive review to negative

Still totally worth it

The Nobel people wanted to be clear they’re right wing but not in the gauche American way.
