Will HR leaders ever learn that mass layoffs through Zoom are disgusting?
At least they might get artificial face to face contact, unlike when Y-USA laid us off during the pandemic in 5 minute phone calls in which they neither thanked us for our service, nor apologized for destroying our lives. 🤷🏻♀️

I would do pretty much anything to not have to degrade, speed up, and shorten every video I make 3 times before it will finally upload to @skylight.social.
Y'all are killing me. It takes me 35+ minutes of re-editing and destroying my videos to get them to work, and then they look like total shit.

Alaska officials gave false info to American Samoans, telling them they can vote. (They can’t, due to having a unique status among anyone born in a US state or territory.)
Now the state is threatening them with years in prison, part of GOP’s voting fraud panic.

$496 MILLION of your taxpayer dollars.
That’s what the Trump Administration spent deploying troops INSIDE the United States.
Nearly half a billion dollars — not for disaster relief, not for health care, not to lower costs — but for legally questionable political deployments.
