Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

What's the *best* ending to a show you've ever seen? Quote/reply etc

I've been fighting along side many to defend ourselves online, keeping our privacy and having freedom to organize events. We are the adults that need to step up!

If you want to be safe online, consider the following. These bills will NOT protect kids online.

For those considering using AI/LLMs for their books or book covers. I was just about to mark a book as one I was interested in reading as part of a judging allotment, then didn't due to the use of AI in its cover. You're genuinely missing out on readers (& reviews) when you use this shite

If you are willing to yell at your GOP electeds in a good cause, here is one:

Mark Copelovitch @mcopelov.bsky.social · Nov 22

Also another reminder that <10 people in Washington - all of whom are Republicans & all of whom keep getting total daily free passes from the media about their cowardice - could end most of the madness tomorrow by simply caucusing with the Democrats & giving them control of both the House & Senate.

Dana Houle @danahoule.bsky.social · Nov 22

Suddenly the special election in TN-07 becomes potentially hugely consequential. It shouldn’t be competitive, but if Democrats steal it, when Greene resigns the Republican majority will be down to 218-216 w a sure Dem seat with no special scheduled in Texas.

🪄 NEW MUSICAL MAGIC ITEM 🎻

Hurty Gurdy

You can weave a soulful symphony, that is if you can take the pain. Save your friends with our latest magical creation for #DnD and visit our Patreon where we have helpful formats like Foundry VTT modules for over 250 magic items! patreon.com/abyssalbrews

Hurty Gurdy
Musical Instrument, Very Rare (requires attunement)

It seems that someone took great lengths to make this wheel fiddle as imposing as possible by adding spikes to nearly every flat surface on it. Even the strings themselves have been replaced with a tightly wound, yet fine sounding steel wire covered in barbs. Though this instrument hasn’t seen use in some time, there are still deep red stains covering it. It would seem that the users of it in years gone by have left their mark.

You gain a +1 bonus to performance checks made with this magical instrument. When you perform with it, roll a d6. On an even result, you cut yourself and take 1d8 piercing damage. On an odd result, you do not cut yourself and gain a +3 bonus instead as the performance is especially impressive.

Once per day, when an ally within 30 feet of you would take damage as part of a weapon or spell attack, you can use a reaction to grind a grating note, redirecting 25 points of the triggering damage to yourself. Any resistances you have still apply to this damage, but the original target still takes any additional conditions from the hit.

1. Hundreds of corps that pledged to stop donating to members of Congress who voted to overturn the election on 1/6/21 have broken their promise over the last 5 years

But we've identified 10 promise keepers:

Farmers
Airbnb
Expedia
Nike
Clorox
Eversource Energy
Holland & Hart
Qurate
Whirlpool
Lyft

Five years later, these 10 corporations still aren’t funding election deniers

Five years ago today, on January 6, 2021, a violent mob stormed the Capitol building.

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

Reskeeting with alt text

Its beyond wild to me that most jobs expect you to be "on call" or to cover with no actual contract or benefits to that effect

I've been part of so many skeleton crews where if one person is late or sick the entire place falls apart

Funny how it's also them keeping you

Dutch Reality Check

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.

Success Story

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.
