I wanted to take a moment to gush about my partner @hazelweakly.me who I can’t ever not be in awe of. She’s brilliant, talented, so funny and melts me with her beauty. She’s so loving and supportive of me and @abgushte.bsky.social and I miss her dearly (but I’ll see her in ‘26)

If billionaires actually went somewhere cheaper because places were expensive to live, Mississippi would have a 6 figure average income
Billionaires are considering cutting or reducing their ties to California by the end of the year because of a proposed ballot measure that could tax the state’s wealthiest residents.
A Wealth Tax Floated in California Has Billionaires Thinking of Leaving
It’s uncertain whether the proposal will reach the statewide ballot in November, but some billionaires like Peter Thiel and Larry Page may be unwilling to take the risk.

I want to say something witty but this is just overwhelmingly pathetic
At 61 years old, I had lost volume and wanted my younger body back quickly. Donor fat seemed like the best option.

I love how this person with a vested interest in selling AI solutions is acknowledging that AI writes shit code and, instead of improving it, we should just lower our standards.
This is how you get the 737 Max 8.

Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

A thing I want to impress to all the ladies, femmes, dolls, and anyone else who wants to:
It doesn’t matter how tall, short, strong, skinny, passing, etc or anything like that, you can *ALWAYS* be someone’s lil princess and don’t let anyone or anything in this world make you think you can’t.

It is still wild to me that some companies out here will go to great lengths to ensure that people are not using AI during interviews only to compel them to use it after they get hired.

Some cool vintage store finds from this afternoon that would be cool pickups for a small framed person. Jacket is a XS/00. Boots are women’s 6.
If anyone is interested I can go and pick them up. Maybe @lookitup.baby ?

In general, I’m against the death penalty, but serving dry, unsalted grits at a restaurant should be a capital crime.

with ice assaulting abuelitas and children, the uvalde massacre, pigs beating peaceful protestors, etc, i think it's extremely clear that the police state and it's larger surveillance apparatus is explicitly designed to put boots on the necks of regular people and certainly not to keep anybody safe
we live in the most high surveillence state in history, companies like palantir exist to know everything about us, and they still can’t do anything. kind of astounding how often this has happened under trumps 2nd term
