I'm still not entirely sure how not voting for Biden and letting Trump get elected is going to lead to fewer dead Palestinians.

The raw deal is that not voting for Biden means you're going to be complicit in killing more Palestinians. Oh and also all your LGBTQ+ friends you keep random generating about are also going to get royally fucked. Oh and all the Ukrainians and Baltic people Putin will genocide under Trump.

Sucks to be an American, life is hard, your system sucks, etc. etc., we know. Now just go out and vote for the slightly less bad royal asshole for the good of the rest of the world, you privileged ass.

Have you ever edited #Wikipedia?

Boss: Why is your work only 80% complete?

Me: Oh, yes! There’s a very good explanation for that.

In my last performance review, you noted that I was exceeding all expectations, but that you were only giving me a 4 out of 5 because you “never give 5s” because “there’s always room for improvement.”

As a result, I’ve taken the initiative to deliver at 4/5 capacity to ensure I’m performing according to your expectations.

As we’ve already established, I’m easily capable of performing at and above 100%, so please let me know once you’ve adjusted my performance rating to a 5 and I will adjust my performance accordingly.

Hey book folk OF THE FEDIVERSE

@pluralistic has a new book coming out -- "Red Team Blues", a cryptocurrency anti-finance thriller

He produces does his own ebooks because he refuses to put DRM on 'em, which means Audible won't carry them

So: He's doing a Kickstarter campaign for this one!

I just backed it (got the audio, ebook and hardcover): Go check it out yourself! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/doctorow/red-team-blues-another-audiobook-that-amazon-wont-sell

Okay, so, I just found out that I'm being laid off. My department is being completely dissolved.

I'm really sad, because I was doing full remote data entry, and I've never been happier with a job in my life. My mental health has never been better, either.

So, can anyone point me towards a fully-remote position that involves working with data, not phones? I swear, I'm super qualified and really good at this. I work hard, and I'm dependable. In the USA.

Please boost

He talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.

Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
