i wrote a lengthy post about my thoughts on 2025, how it affected my creative output, and what the absence of a concrete future has done to my (everyone's) mental health.

in all seriousness people are aggro’ing over increasingly stupid and bad things because they feel useless in the current moment which, to be serious, means you should log off and do more things instead of just screaming at someone

i want to be a calm voice of reason and just state for the record that human beings have been jacking off to cartoon animal people since the stone ages. whether that is or isn't your thing, the only sensible approach is live and let live. this is not a battlefield anyone should be dying on.

Alt-Text Version
My American manager tried to write me up for "lack of commitment" because I leave at 5:00 PM sharp. I work in the Netherlands. I work for the Dutch branch of a large US tech company. We recently got a new middle-manager based in New York. He seemed like a nice guy at first, but it turns out he is totally obsessed with "hustle culture." Last week, we had a 1-on-1 meeting where he told me he was "concerned" about my dedication to the team. He listed his grievances quite clearly. He didn't like that my Slack status goes offline at 5:01 PM every single day. He was annoyed that I didn't reply to an email he sent on Saturday morning until Monday at 9:00 AM. And he was especially frustrated that I refused to join a "team bonding" Zoom call that was scheduled for 7 PM my time, which is 1 PM his time. He gave me the usual speech about how "in this company, we go the extra mile" and that if I want to grow, I need to be more available. I had to give him a bit of a reality check. I looked him in the eye over Zoom and told him that in the Netherlands, if you can't finish your work by 5 PM, it doesn't mean you are dedicated. It means you are inefficient or understaffed. I told him I am neither. I also reminded him that contacting me outside of working hours for non-emergencies is actually frowned upon here, and that my contract is for 40 hours, not "40 hours plus nights and weekends." He tried to threaten me with a Performance Improvement Plan. I immediately forwarded the email to our local Dutch HR representative. She literally laughed when she read it and told me to ignore him. She said she would have a "chat" with him about local labor laws. Since then, he hasn't sent a single email after 5 PM. I honestly feel bad for you guys in the US. The fact that you have to apologize for having a life outside of work is insane to us

Microblogging is just a catastrophically bad form of human interaction. If you sat down to design a system specifically meant to make people act out and create harassment mobs, you'd be hard pressed to build something more effectively toxic.

This isn't fixable. Your safety tools cannot beat the fundamentally broken structure of character limits, rapid indiscriminate propagation of posts, quote-reposting, etc.

I too survived an era on the Internet where people decided it was an Important Political Objective to Drive Me Out Of Public Life, and the thing is, that is never about making real change (what does it do to have one more or less bluecheck?) so much as having a safe place to put all your rage.

Nuking that random person's social media account, or making them cry, or giving them PTSD, is not actually going to end porn bans or bring about socialism in America or whatever, but it's relatively easy to do, compared to those other things, so it feels like you have power. And that sucks.

I just really wish we could get past the idea that Internet dogpiling is important activism, when the truth is that it's not really any less performative than putting a black square on your Instagram or using a hashtag, it just has a much higher human cost.

screenshot of a youtube comment thread on a video titled "You Should Care About Sports." @paymonkhodadadi 1 month ago Why would I watch males throwing balls at each other? @sarahzedig 1 month ago women also throw balls at each other @paymonkhodadadi 1 month ago ​in more ways than one @sarahzedig 1 second ago yes, there are many kinds of balls: base, foot, soccer, golf, volley. will we ever know the limits of the ball? i think not

HB 2100 would prevent these deep cuts to healthcare and higher education; and last week I confirmed with Washington’s Employment Security Department that it could be implemented as soon as 2026.

We can’t wait.

There is going to be an after him time. It's crazy how many folks are completely burning down their reps and credibility. They have a $50+ billion endowment. What is the point of having F U money, if you're too scared to tell somebody F U?

we've got one episode left in For All Mankind season 4 and maaaan... this one's been a real disappointing clunker. as soon as they ran out of speculative history to play with and had to actually invent new stuff, they completely lost the plot on what made the prior seasons overall so much better.
