followers i haven't followed back yet, there are more of you than i'm used to and i'm a bit overwhelmed (i'm easily overwhelmed). it's not personal and i generally do follow back if we interact, but if i don't do it right away, i tend to forget. i appreciate you all (except the musk impersonators).
can't spell rudy giuliani without urinal.
i'm sorry. my brain just did this to me because a post about rudy showed up next to a post about that guy who doesn't wash his hands when he pees, and then my brain connected all the wrong dots.

jeg ORKER IKKE at våre skattepenger skal gå til generative svadamaskiner, bare fordi en digitaliseringsminister er verdens mest inkompetente person. hvor faen blir det av integriteten vår som mennesker oppi dette fordømte sirkuset?

fact-checking a story by a very recently former coworker, and apparently he's just been making stuff up! he's given his only source as wikipedia (!) and 12 of the 18 things i've checked so far are just plain wrong. not nuances or up to intepretation, but simply incorrect.

really quite impressed with the fates' determination to prove me wrong this week.
monday: louvre password
tuesday: cheney
wednesday: mamdani (i know the election was tuesday, but by the time it was called it was wednesday in my timezone)
thursday: sandwich not guilty
exceptional streak, really.
monday: louvre password
tuesday: cheney
wednesday: mamdani (i know the election was tuesday, but by the time it was called it was wednesday in my timezone)
thursday: sandwich not guilty
exceptional streak, really.
oops i jinxed it.
anyway, if the fates decide to prove me wrong every day this week i won't complain. bring it on, fates. keep it coming. show me the funniest thing you've got.

det er flott om studenter har overskudd til å jobbe og få mer eller mindre relevant arbeidserfaring før de er ferdige med å studere, men hvis det er et krav at alle studenter skal klare å arbeide ved siden av studiene hvis de ikke finansieres av sine foreldre, velger vi å opprettholde en underklasse

samme. det gikk bare rundt fordi jeg kunne bo gratis og foreldrene mine sendte med meg en pose basismatvarer når jeg kom på middag en gang i uka. og uten den graden hadde jeg vært ufør nå, for kroppen min klarer ikke lenger å gjøre de jobbene jeg hadde vært kvalifisert til uten høyere utdannelse.

det er jo ikke bare 100 % heller, her er forventningen at alle skal yte 120 % og i tillegg ha overskudd til familie, venner, hobbyer, trening, frivillighet, omsorg for barn og for gamle foreldre som skal bo hjemme lengst mulig og få all nødvendig hjelp fra sin familie, og aldri bli syke heller.

nei, ikke alle klarer en vakt i uka i tillegg til å studere på fulltid (jeg var en av dem), og vi som samfunn tjener på at folk som ikke har den kapasiteten du og partiet ditt krever at alle skal ha, også har mulighet til å fullføre høyere utdanning. det du sier, er at folk som meg ikke får studere.

Loevy plays a video of a woman's arrest. Hewson says the woman was "assaultive" because she kicked a can of tear gas that had been deployed.
Loevy: "When you tear gas somebody … and they try to kick the tear gas canister away from them, that's assaulting?"
Hewson: "Yes."

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

lmao they published it and our editor did a presentation of the updated bios and showed the entire company mine and said it was his favourite and i am literally laughing my ass off here.
lmao i did it.
everybody else went for the kind of generic corporate self-promotional speak that made my eyes glaze over, they all sounded the same and i bet most of them used a chatbot.

ugh employer wants us to add more info to our bio on the company website, one line about what we do and why, and i'm guessing "i google stuff for money" won't do.

It's election day! To all my fellow US folks: make sure you get out & vote. The eels demand it of you.
Eels, of course, are citizens of the world. So they can't vote in local elections, and they have to rely on you to do it for them.
Even if you won't vote for you, be a proxy vote for an eel!

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.
