Seriously gross! Reported and that seems to be a pretty proud asshole.

Ok. Not sure that word has ever been applied in my direction, but I'm game. Should I pull out a red hooded cloak?

I put nearly as much effort into photographing it as I did in making it. I've been watching too many artsy YouTube videos.

It's done! I ended up with a full cakes worth of extra frosting + 50 spare bats. And yesterday was my birthday. But whatever, my masterpiece is complete!
A cake covered in blue gray frosting with an ombre of bats swooping over the sides and onto the top, resting by a chocolate moon. It sits of a bed of skull lace, in front of an image of a spooky window with leave less trees and a large full moon. Who knows what it tastes like tho.

Feels like the job market sucks huh? No it's not just you.
Screenshot: Labor market analyst Amanda Goodall: “WTF! Hiring just hit the lowest level since 2009. Only 204,939 hires so far in 2025. That’s a 58% collapse year on year. Worse than anything since the financial crisis. The data’s out there... and no one’s ready to admit what it means. No data = no panic… right?”

I think it'll look really cool.
The wet bar. It has green cabinets with cut outs with rattan in the middle. Hot pink handles. A concrete countertop with a small sink on the left side of the counter. Above on the side walls are 2 brown shelves. The walls are beige. The ceiling is slanted and the same pink as the handles on the cabinet. Dropping down from the ceiling is an arch panel painted the same green as the cabinets. There is also a pothos hanging to the left behind the arch and in the middle of the ceiling a disco ball light fixture dangles.

It's the fact that I'd rather eat caviar than fish sticks isn't it? Listen that has more to do with a childhood puking incident than class.

As someone with a documented pineapple allergy, I may need to make an ADA complaint against this website.
The WordPress.org login page which has added a required checkbox stating "pineapple is delicious on pizza"

I'm pretty sure that someone attending or sponsoring a WordCamp doesn't count as a contribution. That's just marketing right? And expressing support for open source sure as hell isn't a contribution. At least according to a certain CEO.
A screenshot reading, "If you aren’t able to contribute your time and skills, then you could donate to the WordPress foundation, sponsor or attend a WordCamp or Meetup in your area, or even just express your support for the spirit of open source by sharing this web page with your network."

Wait a minute, according to this, found on the Automattic blog, Automattic who demanded WPEngine contribute 32 million a year to WordPress is only themselves contributing 20 million a year????
A screenshot that reads, "It’s important to note that a significant part of Automattic’s revenue, including any licensing revenue, is channeled back into supporting the WordPress community, as Automattic is currently contributing 3,552 hours per week to the WordPress project. This comes out to something in the order of $20M annually in salaries."

Wow I'm impressed! I'm definitely not going to be able to get a full billion of them. And even if I did that's a truly staggering amount. It would take forever to hand out! It's easy to really underestimate just how much a billion is. It's a truly absurd amount. I'll never not love this visual.
An image with 3 groups of rice. The first is one grain and labeled $100,000 on a post-it. The second is 10 grains and labeled 1,000,000). The third is a huge mound of rice. Labeled 1 billion. It demonstrates that as much as those first two numbers sound like a lot, the 3rd is truly many many magnitudes more.

I have so far curated my feed to be far more news and politics heavy than I really want, so imma gonna post the kind of content I want to see in the world. Who should I follow to find similar?
Sleepy cozy black kitten curled up on a bed, looking very adorable and somehow smug like she knows the human taking the picture really needs to get up but would never disturb a comfy sleeping kitten unless it was an emergency.
