I would really, really love to see @votetanille.bsky.social lead Canada's NDP party. If you're a Canadian committed to Truth and Reconciliation, the rights of the working class, and a better future for all people and the land we rely on, I encourage you to support her campaign.

Cilian loves spending time in the sink or bathtub but he prefers being in a room with people so sometimes he will literally try to get people to go to the bathroom, if you coincidentally needed to go there anyway he excitedly mrrpps and runs over to hop in to the sink or tub and roll about.

BREAKING
The 1st Circuit REJECTS Trump DOJ's request to pause a judge's order to pay up Nov's SNAP funds to the states.
The SCOTUS stay will expire within 48 hours absent further action from the justices, per its terms.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Also worth noting, it also protects others, it should be normal to not want to risk making others sick and not wanting to be sick yourself. I wish people would get that masks arent just a personal choice, not using one can affect everyone you meet.
Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets
With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

Companies have so fetishized the idea of free labor they’re paying the highest prices to get it.
If they can just realize their dream of a world without employees, they think, the savings will come. The savings will come.
It’ll all be worth it when nobody has a job and all the money’s dried up.

Boycott Paramount. All of it. I sure will and already am. Fuck this genocide supporting corporation.
Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Good thread, and I will add that men DO NOT LIKE IT when women say "hey, you fucked up," and to the extent that women tend to soften the blow with indirectness, it's because men feel like their honor is insulted if they have to take feedback from women.

In my almost 20 years as a lawyer, as a leader, as a department head, as an executive...the people I have worked with who are the biggest gossips, who are the most emotional, and who are the most conflict-averse are men. And the women are the ones who end up cleaning up that mess as a result.
