Welp, can't say I didn't see it coming, they cut down everyone's salaries about a month ago due to limited runway, but the company I was working for laid me off.
Need full time TypeScript and/or Solidity work ASAP
Okay, so Faine asked why this is the case. My theory: there is a Calvinist streak a mile wide when it comes to how a lot of the more militant COVID conscious people approach these questions.
Virtue is supposed to be its own reward, proof of your worthiness; to complain is to prove one's sinfulness.
The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.
It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.
I've been out and about the last three weeks on my annual comedy pilgrimage. Masking all the time, hand sanitising, and SURROUNDED by people sneezing, coughing, and telling me they're just on the tail end of something.
Why do you want to get your fluids on strangers so fucking badly you weirdos.
Jim’s talking about a career in comics here, but the whole thread up and down applies to pretty much every career. Particularly the bit about luck. In Hollywood in particular luck is such a major factor that if we really stopped and thought about, our sanity would snap.
Can anyone help me? Some of you may have noticed it's taking a long time for the promised republication of Mars Evacuees and Space Hostages to come through.
The issue is we'd like to reuse the original covers. The artist has generously agreed. We CANNOT get an answer from Harper Collins UK.
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
Hey man, we cool? I just noticed that when I look at you the reticle turns red.
Yeah, I’ve never quite got over the profound moral injury aspect of watching so many Americans absolutely refuse to even mildly sacrifice to help others during Covid - watching MAGAs somehow become even more evil was radicalizing.
And now the bastards are trying to destroy MRNA research.

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?
I see the replies on this are once again filled with "Well, the way *I* use LLMs/GenAI doesn't have the same issues other people have" people who probably also think they're immune to propaganda
Except you can't, really. LLMs are fundamentally incapable of not generating gibberish at some point.

Canadian doctors obeying a U.S. executive order that doesn’t even apply to Canada is deeply offensive to both trans people and to Canadian legal sovereignty.
My husband was laid off and we’re kind of at a loss right now. If anyone has any leads on PR jobs, please reach out to him.
Seeing dudes like this sue and then learn what discovery actually entails is one of my favorite things.
So after a stressful weekend, I got the news this morning that mowgli has a mass in his anal sac that has the vet concerned enough she is immediately referring him to a specialist. I have pet insurance but its a 500 deductible and 70/30 after that's met. So even with the best case scenario
With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.
We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.
Please stand by for more.
Vote Reform and this will be your reality.

I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me
Saying the economy is good because the Dow is doing well is like saying someone with stage four pancreatic cancer is healthy because their vitals are within normal ranges.
When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”
The first step is to hit people with a cattle prod every time they act like the stock market and the economy are the same exact things.
Western media isn't reporting on this properly but it's in large part due to the fact that Israel can't adhere to any terms of a ceasefire that requires them to stop killing civilians
And every excuse they come up with why "it's not a big deal" somehow makes it worse.
it sounds & is bad, but a more accurate heuristic than trusting what elites say about their commitment to trans lives is:
is there a risk that truly defending trans people could inconvenience a cis person or cost anyone money?
if so, they won't do it.
that will be right more often than promises.
Joanne closed her helpline for single parents right around when she announced she'd be donating heavily to anti-trans causes. They closed because of lack of funding.
She's a billionaire.
She doesn't care about "single mums".

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
You can very much tell that I wrote the 1st Cat Face as opposed to @msdarlizzle.bsky.social
He would have probably been on TV if it wasn't for my episodes.
