Got an email from a company called TalentBurst for an entry-level position whose main requisite is "Have some computer knowledge".

I would have felt insulted but I laughed out loud too much.

If you rely on that company for "talent" acquisition you might want to reconsider. #JustSayin

Hey Pete Hegseth, you may not 'do climate change crap,' but climate change does America -- fueling conflicts, worsening resource wars, and proving that tough-guy posturing won’t stop the next crisis.
in reply to God

Apparently America does #DUIHire stuff, not climate stuff 🙁
in reply to God

Hi God,
I haven't asked for anything since the 1971 World Series (Game #7), but today I'm asking.

To combat misinformation like is used against the science of Climate Change, we need sources of good information, free from monied interests.

So how about a shout out to Wikipedia if you think it deserves it. I think it does, and I just upped my monthly donation. It may not be perfect, but also maybe if they had the funds, they could more easily address some of their issues.

Yeah, I think most food in the US comes from factory farms run by giant conglomerates, too.

Reps of Trump’s family have held talks to take a FIN stake in the US arm of crypto exchange Binance, a move that'd put Trump in bus with the firm that pleaded guilty in 2023 to violating anti-#moneylaundering requirements.

At the same time, the founder, Zhao—who served 4 months in prison after pleading guilty to a related charge—has been pushing for the Trump admin to grant him a pardon.

#Trump corruptly enriches himself, & legitimizes laundering$, & #crypto.

Yes, and news outlets and their journalists are the ones conveying that its fine by playing their game instead of calling them out.

There’s an ongoing joke about how, if the surrealists had been born in Mexico, they would have been considered realists. I’m here to tell you, it is not a joke but an anecdote. As proof, allow me to present to you exhibit A: the picture G just sent me from her commute back home 🤯🤣

You can help. Please give generously

Hello, my name's Grant. I am on disability, as having to deal with schizophrenia for a majority of my life. I’m getting proper care for this, and have managed to stay afloat well for some time. However, my expenses have increased, and I’m battling to stay housed. Any assistance coming in, would be for covering basic living expenses, to maintain my housing, electricity and other utilities. Even with using strategic frugality, and having expenses down as low as possible, there is still a small budget shortfall that will cause me to become un-housed. I’m seeking assistance to help cover the shortfall in the utilities. Due to being disabled, I am not able to find work to help cover this shortfall.

The folks at #spritely were really patient and helpful. I am very grateful for the excellent feedback I received from Dave Thompson. Many thanks to this team!

Any corrections and/or clarifications are really appreciated.

While it is still early days, I think the #spritely software stack is really promising!

"Concerned at the UK Government’s intentions to review the #HumanRights framework and #JudicialReview we have come together to state:

While every system could be improved, and protecting #rights and #freedoms for all is a balancing act, our #HumanRightsAct is a proportionate and well-drafted protection for the fundamental #liberties and #responsibilities of everyone in this country.

The Act guarantees the rights to #FreeSpeech and expression, to life, to #liberty, to security, to privacy, to assembly, and to #FreedomOfReligion or belief. It prohibits torture and guarantees fair trials and the #RuleOfLaw.

Judicial review is an indispensable mechanism for individuals to assert those rights and freedoms against the power of the state." humanrightsact.org.uk/
