A 'Dinosaur Smarties' Easter egg.

Erm, they're called palaeontologists, actually.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Seychelles beach on Ikaria, Greece. A large multi-toned rock sits on a rocky beach at the Aegean Sea’s edge. Brown rocky mountains rise behind the rock. The beach was created by a rockslide and is accessible only via boat or a treacherous hike.

Outside in the evening. An office building with video and the words "Palantir Powers Fascism" projected at top. Below, a crowd of people with signs and candles memorializing people who have died at the hands of ICE.

Happening now in Silicon Valley: marchers have surrounded the Palantir building and are holding a prayer vigil for victims of ICE, while video of ICE and Palantir crimes is projected on the building. #AbolishICE #ICEOut #Palantir #PaloAlto

we absolutely need to know who he sent this to. how is this something the public is being kept in the dark on???

MINNESOTA — Mom goes outside to warm up her car, ICE grabs her: "Please, my car kids are all alone in the house!”

So nothing has changed and Homan was just to put a new face on the cruelty, got it

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

Who wants to see the cover of the new* October Daye book?

A woman with medium-brown hair and pointy ears holds a knife and looks warily ahead of her. She's already covered in blood, staining her white shirt and blue jeans. Strange figures lurk in the trees around her, and rose petals are falling through the air. Text: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR SEANAN MCGUIRE | A DIVIDED DUTY.

It's so weird seeing people crash out over the potential price of the Steam Machine. To me it was pretty obvious it'd be priced like a PC, not like a Console.
Hell, I'd be shocked if the next generations of consoles won't be priced like a PC.

Took a little walk today and saw this 🍄‍🟫 #autumn #photography #mushroom #PNW

Dropped from the zoom call. Was pointless to be in it. Still online checking Slack etc. Because I'm a responsible idiot.

I'm the only non-manager non-leader doing this on-call stuff, despite everyone on my team being on the call list. I am starting to think my sense of responsibility is a liability.

Maybe for these situations I should try to replicate my mastodon following list over here. I am sure there is some overlap...though I am wary of this questionable place.

Cloudflare came back for a bit, then went away again. Inability to connect to my mastodon instance has driven me here. Sad, sad.
Anyway, I'm stuck on a zoom call for work as well because of this hullaballoo.

Turns out both DownDetector and DownForEveryoneOrJustMe use Cloudflare so are currently, themselves, down
