I am once again urging the tech workers of America to form a union

The grind culture that birthed many Big Tech companies from Google to Amazon is back.

As the AI race heats up, startups are promoting hardcore cultures like “996,” or working 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week.

Why these companies insist on a 72-hour work week

Start-ups are promoting hardcore cultures such as “996,” meaning working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. six days a week, as they race to compete in AI.

The center of politics is not a fixed point, and anyone who acts as if it is is either delusional or seeking to delude others.

Look, it’s really straightforward to get a publisher as a new name indie in 2025. Simply do 95% of the work making and marketing your game, and if your metrics are trending towards almost certain success, a publisher will swoop in to promise the remaining 5%, deliver 3%, and collect 75%

It's incredible just how on the ball trans people were about those US think tanks influencing British politics, going to great length to detail all these links and connections, only for it to fall on deaf ears because of how aggressively trans people were frozen out and disenfranchised.

bittersweet seeing parts of the lethargic british press sluggishly get around to wondering if US far-right religious think tanks are working to influence british politics. they are, yes! it is not secret! do your jobs better!

Had a dream about a website that was just photos of topless guys wearing two seatbelts. Captions like “sure you’re safe enough?!?” and “wait is that TWO seatbelts?” They looked like they were having a great time though. Made me want to try it

It's depressing just how many accounts took this obvious footage of old pro-palestine protests as "No More Kings" protests across the globe. Trump is not popular globally but such protests have not taken place and wouldn't make much sense.

Been seeing some accusations of DnD going 'woke'.

DnD...

The game YOU imagine into being...

The game where the entire draw for most people is that YOU decide what happens...

I'm starting to believe that the biggest issue with right wing reactionaries is a terminal lack of imagination.

My Facebook was shut down for exploitation with no explanation or support. I appealed, but less than 30 mins later my appeal was denied. I'm worried that Meta will shut down my Instagram of 26.7K followers. I think they are silencing disabled creators. Can anyone help? xo ag

It's totally okay if you're disabled and you struggle to find disabled joy. That is a valid feeling that is okay to access. We always talk about overcoming our disabilities or being disability warriors, sure, but there is so little discussion about just sitting with however disability feels today.

According to the Equine Institute, on average, adult horses can sustain approximately 7.3 horse power and short bursts of up to 14.9 horsepower.

Your big horse would need to adjust their numbers a tad.
It's calculated a few ways, depending on if it's an electric horse, mechanical, metric, etc.

In an attempt to track the unknown ocean currents create an entire foundation to identify and geotag every single grain of sand.
No funding would be dedicated to the software, or server network, needed.

i am literally never not tapping the "we need to fund public education and open the schools" sign. there is no moment or topic in which the dearth of basic reading comprehension is not a major force preventing any deeper discussion. a lot of people are functionally meat-based LLMs who parrot tokens.

so one of the things I’ve started to realize with having a notable following On Here is exactly how much of a reading comprehension problem we have in this country

The thing that bothers me about "Cozy horror" outside of any taxonomy and on a personal level is that I honestly find a lot of comfort in horror as is, even with some of the more extreme subgenres. There's something reassuring and cathartic about acknowledging darker themes, if that makes sense? 🎃

a beautiful language

Hey guys, did you know that in terms of male human and female Pokémon breeding, Vaporeon is the most compatible Pokémon for humans? Not only are they in the field egg group, which is mostly comprised of mammals, Vaporeon are an average of 3"03' tall and 63.9 pounds. this means they're large enough to be able to handle human dicks and with their impressive Base Stats for HP and access to Acid Armor, you can be rough with one. Due to their mostly water based biology, there's no doubt in my mind that an aroused Vaporeon would be incredibly wet, so wet that you could easily have sex with one for hours without getting sore. They can also learn the moves Attract, Baby-Doll Eyes, Captivate, Charm, and Tail Whip, along with not having fur to hide nipples, so it'd be incredibly easy for one to get you in the mood. With their abilities Water Absorb and Hydration, they can easily recover from fatigue with enough water. No other Pokémon comes close to this level of compatibility. Also, fun fact, if you pull out enough, you can make your Vaporeon turn white.
