Have you ever had a sleeping cat curl up against you and start gentle purring? That shit can heal you. (I'm on a sick day, this is recommended)

There would be tangents; there would be one about how WFH is beneficial and another one about how human lived experience directly translates into what's crafted so AI is for suckers who don't care about soulless results.

If I EVER give that talk about petting animations in video game that I keep thinking about, I'm going to stress how important it was that I got to work from home and be around and inspired by my cats. Also how it gives me the space to act out ideas comfortably without coworkers watching.

The push for RTO at the same time as all the full-time positions moving into contracts is so WILD. 🫠

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

The human costs of Trump's war on government

For many disabled workers, federal jobs were decent, human, and accommodating: everything the president hates.

I also enjoyed Kpop Demon Hunters, but the funniest part about the Late Night performance is it exposes how unbalanced the line distribution is. 😂 If this was a real Kpop song/group, Rumi would have all the netizens ANGRY that she has 90% of the lyrics.

Because it feels relevant as we continue to evaluate the media and our representatives’ statements, my favorite way to identify the active vs. passive voice.

A post by Rebecca Johnson:
“I finally learned how to teach my guys to ID the passive voice. If you can insert "by zombies" after the verb, you have passive voice.”

A tumblr respond from mightymur:
“The final, brilliant word on passive voice.
"She was killed [by zombies.]"<--passive
"Zombies killed [by zombies] her." <-- active”

Sometimes I remember I too used to have a podcast and am rocketed back to a different time and a different me.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.

I think being able to edit posts after the fact would be a recipe for disaster, but I do wish we could add an after author's note on a post. So we can issue corrections if more info is learned or simply say "I swear I know how to spell execution correctly, I'm just typing on my phone. 🫠"

I'm so hesitant to accept invitations from people I don't know on Linked In, because I know some of them are going to be AI bros and drag that stuff onto my feed after we connect. 🫠 I realize you can unfollow and unconnect afterwards but it's annoying in the first place.

I have lovely friends and I truly wish the world for them.

Not this one though, this one kind of sucks. That's kind of why we have to improve it.

This "podcast" he's launching, is supposed to be him interviewing people who had low/embarassing points in their lives cause he can relate, right? His low moment? A thing he caused by cheating on his wife with an employee. The very next episode low moment? A mom who battled heroin addiction. 🙃

NGL, I have watched a few videos on this. Seems she said yes to just publicly address it and move on with her life. She absolutely DOES hold him to task, saying she does not forgive him. They are also definitely not together.
Ned comes off terrible. He definitely smooths over his culpability in it.

Switching back to buying mp3s and CDs was one of the best decisions I made early this year. After an initial push to bulk up my library, months go by where I pay nothing for music.

Been laughing all morning about this 28 min unskippable cutscene that Baby Steps traps players in after they try to skip 30 cutscenes. The fact the button presses get harder the more you skip and then the banter & how it's done is so funny. Flawless exectution of the bit. youtu.be/mQahQACsvPU?...

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.
