Would love to talk about the “make terrible decisions and treat people horribly my whole adult life” to “I found god and now I’m morally superior to any and everyone by that sheer act so I don’t need to do any work on myself or try to fix what I broke” pipeline

1. Tomorrow's my birthday and here's a gift you can get for me: Buy a small creator's work. Local band, indie writer, up-and-coming visual artist, that crafter down the street, or whomever. Your support matters to them, especially in this economic/social environment. And you deserve some joy, too.

People will reveal the most out of pocket info about themselves to strangers in airports. I just heard a woman tell two kindly tourists that she lost her million $ home in Clearwater from flooding and owns a horse in the Kentucky Derby in the span of two minutes

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

I’m noticing a very unsettling uptick in the use of “pure” to describe things marketed to Christian, white, cis, hetero, conservative people…please don’t forget the last time that was used in abundance to imply the same thing! I’ll give you a hint, it starts with n and rhymes with yahtzee

The thing about tariffs is the spirits industry already went through this with Dbag during his last administration (they levied against Scotch) and it raised the price PER BOTTLE ~$20, so a $60 bottle became an $80. And then it stayed there, even when Biden stopped the tariff.
So thats something.

Revisiting the James Frey/A Million Little Pieces controversy (I love a scandal in hindsight!) and it’s pretty obvious there are “factual inaccuracies” from the jump. What airline would allow anyone to dump a comatose passenger covered in PISS, BLOOD & VOMIT on a plane solo? This is in para one ppl

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003.
