I'm bored, so let's do this:

One like, one tip to survive in neurotypical society as an autistic or otherwise neurodivergent person.

Some important context: Corina Machado is pro-Palestinian Genocide and asked the US to invade Venezuela to remove Maduro.

Some think this is part of a larger movement to whitewash Trump's future invasion of Venezuela.

It's interesting how leftist US political commentators vs Spanish ones are reacting to the Nobel Peace announcement.

The formers see it as a clear fuck you to Trump.

The latter, as appeasement. A "We're not giving you the award, but we'll give it to your political ally" gesture.

I'm inclined to think Trump will see it as one regardless of what the committee intended!

Yeahhh I don't think Trump can understand nuance well enough that it is going to make a difference

Frogs are an alt-right dog whistle and so is the phrase "Apes together strong", so it seems some terminally online progressives are reclaiming these symbols

Personally, all I can do is admit I'm completely out of my depth on this one.

Y aparte está lo que ven a sus padres en casa. ¿Quién ocupa más tiempo en casa a cuidar de los niños? Cuando van ambos en el coche, ¿Quién conduce?¿Quién se sienta en el sofá a mirar las carreras mientras la otra cambia pañales?

Los roles de género son muy flexibles, pero se aprenden rápido.

There probably is a Slack integration, too.

I'm tempted to reply "this is how ChatGPT summarised what ChatGPT told you" but... No.

My manager shared an article on the team Slack about a company that is getting a class action lawsuit for misusing AI.

The article was VERY obviously unedited AI-slop.

A teammate then replied "this is what ChatGPT thinks about this article:".

We're so fucked.

Alas, I grew up in a country with no Halloween, so now I have to make up for lost time

Encephalophagy 🎃 @encephalophagy.bsky.social · 22h

That we do!

Life is a miracle.

Like, it's a miracle I'm alive considering how often I am tired, nauseous and/or in pain.

"Seasonal products are a capitalist ploy to increase needless consumption. It's actually good that not every store has a Halloween line," I say, extremely disappointed that the chain store has no cute ghosts for sale.

From what I can tell, the problem is that posts by users who use the labeler get hidden

I'm hoping it's just a configuration mishap, will update

Encephalophagy 🎃 @encephalophagy.bsky.social · 1d

Puede ser que hayas marcado Hide?

Una de las pestanas de configuración del pronoun labeler. Tiene la opción de mostrar el labeler, apagar el labeler, o esconder skeets con ese labeler

"For instance, CNBC found that one Microsoft data center in Illinois received more than $38 million in data center sales tax exemptions but created just 20 permanent jobs."

In race to attract data centers, states can forfeit hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue to tech companies

Amazon, Meta and Google are among the beneficiaries of state tax exemptions for data centers that help power AI.

The thing about being into gothic shit is that people will make assumptions about what you think of Tim Burton and certain Tim Burton-adjacent movie, and I'm not one to yuck someone's yum, but,
