Here's another tip: If you have to do a self-review, always say you did wonderfully. Lay out your accomplishments, rate yourself 5/5, etc.
If they're not going to do their job as management you don't have to help them justify it.
If they're going to deny you a raise/promotion make them justify it.

Annual reminder that one nice thing you can do as a coworker is, if you have to write peer reviews, just go ahead and ask your peers what accomplishments they’re proud of this year, and what they want to work on next year. It’ll make your job writing them easier, and help their best work be seen

in my zeal to fix the inconsistent ratchets in the hips of MPG-14S God Bomber I opened the hips up and, while I was prepared to catch the spring, the pawl shot across the room. I can't find it. He cannot stand in anything close to a good pose.
So fuck my dumb ass; this is entirely my fault.

Once, my coworkers had a slack bot that spammed AI images into chat and we only used it to say when timesheets were due.
We had to fill out an AI job task survey, and 100% of us "Used AI to help accomplish our tasks"
I think about that a lot when I see any article talking about AI usage stats.

Similarly, nobody is going to get paid for either.
Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

This also applies even if you include AI slop because it's funny.
I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

The next Transformers movie will be @jroberts332.bsky.social and @nickroche.bsky.social 's Last Stand of the Wreckers. We don't need to write the best transformers movie of all time because they already did. Just have to film it.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

TIL if I wrap my pecan pie in a bunch of plastic wrap and then forget about it in a deep freezer until right before next Thanksgiving, it is no longer the same quality it had fresh.
But it's still better than any other pecan pie on earth.

Next time you just straight up put a photo of me on BlueSky, please include alt text.
Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

My cat has figured out I'm cool with her standing on my chest to be closer to me while I work.
And I've figured out the touch controls to mute/unmute on my headset can't tell a human hand from a cat head.
