God I fucking hate Spotify stupid ass app with stupid ass ui and buggy ass synchronisation between devices

Florence Nightingale, democratically elected Chancelor of the Irish Republic

I was sharing a taxi with a coworker and she was talking about how "some academics" have concluded that, "from some biblical interpretations" the world is set to end in 200 years and my atheist ass was left wondering if she was joking, mentioning shit she doesn't believe in or if she's like THAT

Honestly the weirdest part of changing jobs is having to figure out the political views of everyone in my team so I don't accidentally say something too out there to a right-winger

At least back in my old job I knew where everyone stood and who'd be weirded out by harmless things

Nothing in Brazil works properly except for public transit etiquette in São Paulo

By orthodox economists while at the same time being firmly criticized by heterodox camp because millions of people are being thrown into abject poverty

focus on the first two (alongside general profit generation and employment rate) have either outright ignored or at least balked at policies focused on improving the last two.

You need only to read reporting on how Argentina is doing to see what I mean, because it's been seen as an economic success

Bro corporate jobs are a joke, I was hired 2 weeks ago and they still haven't sent me a laptop to use for my 100% computer-reliant work

luckily in my case it's more of a "Blue Sky only shows me content in portuguese and ignores my english-speaking mutuals no matter what I put in my language settings" situation

Been here the whole time, bluesky just fails at showing me stuff and doesn't scratch the doomscrolling itch

Amazing art too... love that card

This is my favorite climate change chart. Japanese monks, aristocrats, and emperors kept meticulous records of cherry blossom festivals for 1,200 years and accidentally built the world's longest climate dataset.

My boss assigned me a project where I need to improve a doc he drafted using AI. A colleague sent me another document to help me, also made using AI.

Both are full of hallucinations and dead links, so I'm basically doing all the work from scratch.

Efficiency.
