There is something really wrong with people who need workers to be not just competent, but slavishly fake-happy. "Slavishly" used on purpose, bc that's where this grotesquerie comes from.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.

They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.

If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."

🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

Target is now requiring its employees to smile more

As the holiday season fast approaches, Target is urging its employees to add a little more “jolly” to their work routine.

Friends, I just bought a Yu Gi Oh portfolio for my old cards and I'm trying to decide how best to organise them?

Alphabetically? Bad-assishness? Or should I let the heart of the cards guide me?

always a good time to review this @katebeaton.bsky.social comic, gloriously entitled, “Every Lady Scientist Who Ever Did Anything (until recently)” 🧪

This image shows a six-panel comic by Kate Beaton, titled, “Every Lady Scientist Who Ever Did Anything (until recently).”

Panel 1: Rosalind Franklin being taunted by a grinning James Watson while with Francis Crick, saying, “Oooh, what’s that you’ve got? Little Rosie Franklin’s research! I bet it’s something!” Rosalind replies, “My final report.”

Panel 2: Franklin corrects Watson saying, “ROSALIND.” Crick retorts, “Oh, that’s a big name,” and Watson says, “You’re getting fancy on us! Tell me -“

Panel 3: Rosalind deadpans, “Ah. I love this game.” Watson says, “Is it a scientific breakthrough in feelings?” while Crick laughs

Panel 4: Rosalind, leaving the room, says, “Well, I suppose I have to go into hysterics or have a baby somewhere, good day gentlemen”

Panel 5: Watson, hiding behind doorframe, watching Franklin walk almost out of sight, says, “Go, go,” to Crick, who is grabbing a paper

Panel 6: Watson and Crick hold out a folder in front of their faces, showing their eyes and tips of their heads. Crick remarks, “Nice,” while Watson says to Crick, “Quit hogging”

ICYMI: Microsoft’s charge “implies a more than $12 billion quarterly loss at OpenAI, said Firoz Valliji, an analyst at Bernstein.”

That “would mark one of the largest single-quarter losses for a tech company in history.”

"Employers who’ve mandated a return to the office have paid a price… S&P 500 companies had abnormally high turnover following [RTO mandates,] especially high among women, senior staff and more skilled staff." Mandates also made vacancies take longer to fill. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/07/t...

Companies have found employees can be just as productive when working remotely. And they’re happier too.

Employers are perfecting their flexible work arrangements. They’re making in-person time strategic and ensuring new employees don’t feel isolated.

For any animator (or hobbyist pals), I'm looking for a beginners' stop motion kit for my 10 year old for Christmas. May I ask for recommendations please? We're trying not to get him a mobile phone yet (because, y'know... window to hell), so the more self-contained and analogue, the better. Thanks!

Your occasional reminder that Tidal offers vastly superior sound quality, higher royalties to artists per stream, and - perhaps crucially - isn't owned by worthless wet wanks who want to see the world burn.

Now we know where all that Spotify money is going. Not to the artists - perish the thought. No, the CEO has invested it all in AI weaponry designed to kill humans. I wish this were a joke.

🏊‍♀️The women who swim at Kenwood Ladies Pond have already made their decision.

In 2024, almost 900 members voted to keep their trans-inclusive policy - a policy that has worked peacefully since 2019.

Now, a small campaign group is seeking to overturn that democratic decision through the courts.

An upload of his personality that exists in a collective unconsciousness (basically a psychic icloud) that is only activated if it fails to get an "Okay" signal from the source evey 24 hours. When the signal is not received the personality manifests in whoever is closest/most suitable. Maybe.

Irish people are embracing the language, the music, the heritage etc. from a place of deficit forced on them by colonialism. They are reclaiming what's theirs, which is healthy & shows a maturing society, distancing itself from colonial attitudes towards native culture.
