Oooh, the Tolkien Society Awards Shortlist dropped today. Some *great* items on the list, though there's one article I'm sad didn't make it. The competition must be tough.

There's biblical precedent for falling asleep at bad times during Holy Week, at least 😅

This is one heck of a week. Anyone care to tell me how I say 'the company should buy me a nice bottle of whiskey' in corporate? 😁

I'm in favor!

And for the first time, people who aren't white American men! Everything about this is so exciting!

I feel like most of you are not making a big enough deal about the fact that they're going back to the moon. The moon!

What is this nonsense?

If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately*

Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code.

GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH

Liberal Currents has quietly become one of the few outlets taking male supremacy seriously, either as a foundation of Trumpist fascism or as a system of oppression in its own right.

At this point I don't know when people are quoting or are satirizing.

This one is mostly coherent so I'm guessing satire.

Over on threads we're having the cover letters for tech jobs fight. Which is always funny because there's a clear answer and 99.9% of both jobs and candidates share that answer. But the others get really stubborn.

Education, oof.

Though I have to hand it to any researchers in these fields, this is tough stuff to research at all.

Michael Collins, the chap who took this photograph, remains the only person on earth to have taken a photo that had everyone in shot aside himself.

If Artemis is going up then it gives me an excuse to once again post this photo, the only one to contain every human being in the universe but one.

We choose to go to the moon, not because it is easy but because you've seen the other shit this country spends tax money on. At least going to the moon is cool.

Me: *creating a Fedora bootable USB*
Windows Defender: This is a virus!
Me: 👀

Girls only want one thing and it's to conduct a go/no-go poll of flight controllers before deciding to launch the next phase of the mission.

Build machines back down today. Fixed one problem and they're running but not completing. Not sure if Microsoft's fault or the fault of the jank we built on ADO.

I've seen people trying to defend it today by saying "No, no, I just use it to brainstorm, bounce ideas, I do the actual writing" and with all the kindness in the world I need to tell you: if there is a stage of writing you are not good at, you need to get good, not use the plagiarism machine.

I dont typically give investment advice but here's my hot take:

people are going to the moon

Not a very original thought, but as all of the irrelevancies burn away, it really is obvious that the core of MAGA is a desperate attempt to reinforce crumbling hierarchies: power of the wealthy over the poor, men over women, whites over non-whites.

Born out of seizing terror of a more equal world.

Honestly, the great crisis of our society is the unwillingness of institutions to inflict consequences.

Impeach the president, fire the sex pests, expel cheating students, excommunicate an unrepentant heretic, prosecute the war criminals.

Believe in your institution enough to enforce its rules.

If this happens, I'm gonna very strategically line up some more interviews for you and take advantage of this effect. Apologies in advance.
