Folks, if you hire Grahams, you’re getting a metric ton of musical knowledge. It’s an added benefit.

I've apparently reached "Figure out IPV6 for my network" levels of unemployment.

So if you need a software engineering manager or something else vaguely me-shaped, hit me up.

i literally wrote every single paper i had in college the night before it was due. i graduated summa cum laude.

Dane 🔜 NYCC AA L-34 @monkeyminion.com · 1d

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

After everybody went nuts over it in theaters last week, we decided we wanted Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile out there as soon as possible.

We're releasing it this Thursday, and we've made it free for everybody.

All we ask is that you watch it, hopefully on a TV, next to as many people as you can.

The Onion @theonion.com · 2d

Forget everything you already know about America's most notorious dead person.

Watch Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile at Thursday, Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. ET/6 p.m. CT.

Only at The Onion on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XjhSoGcQhWU.

I understand that they gave somebody 150 million to be the new boss of CBS. I just want to say, if these people are ever looking to do more novel things with their money, for 150 million dollars I will write an album every day for a year. I'll do it, too. try me

a mysterious package was sent to my old address from random house & when I went to get it, it turned out to be stickers promoting this upcoming book! it's not out yet but I'm already #3 on line at the library! and served as a good reminder to update my address on patreon 😅

Marisa Kabas @marisakabas.bsky.social · 4d

reading this book in october on a beach day in new york city really drives (pun intended) the point of this book home.

I've been in a shitty mood all week, but a shiny new citibike dock was just installed directly across the street from my place, and maybe there is still some good in the world.

one of my small personal joys was accurately predicting when i'd need my next book, and now i can't do that anymore! tragedy!

Naomi 🐺 @naomiwolf.bsky.social · 6d

everything is terrible right now but a small thing really driving me nuts is that you can no longer schedule a date to deliver a book later on Libby. there is either suspend or unsuspend and i hate this.

This is EXCELLENT.

1) this is spot-on analysis of the problem & a great immediate 1st thing a city can do to improve outcome.

2) as a 2 min clip? He's giving history, hope & change. Speaking to women, to Jewish & Black NYers, saying "abortion." & also naming eugenics in feminism. 100/10 no notes.

I was walking down a street in New York and I thought how lovely it was, with the trees and the light. Tried to take a photo and this came out. It’s incredible how blind we become to the ugliness of cars. They really do mess things up. Yet somehow we manage to filter them out.

Also, Autistic people are awesome.

The big announcement is designed to:

1) keep making autism seem like a bad thing, and

2) to pressure women into suffering more while pregnant.

I also wonder if they have some backroom corpo deal to try and discredit tylenol? But that’s just supposition.

Chise @sailorrooscout.bsky.social · 17d

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.
