I was having a nice chat with Copilot about the new Recall feature and, just when it got interesting, (I asked why risk to vulnerable populations are never weighed as heavily as 'productivity') it ended the chat.

Killjoy.

Last night, before bed, I texted Bestie.

Me: I really wish every terrible man on this planet would explode.

Her: Seriously.

Me: I want them to burst like a blood blister. Just splatter everyone around them where they stand.

Her: That's your emotional state right now?

Me: Pretty much. It sucks that God won't listen to me.

I'm terrible, right?

I watched a podcast last night where a researcher dude said that incels are a real problem, and in his field, they have a term for it: The Lonely Young Man problem.

He said that in the past, Lonely Young Men would just go into areas where their angry loneliness wasn't so much a threat to society, like monasteries, quests, the military, or exploration.

Let's send them to space. For really long periods of time. Colonize Jupiter, my dudes. Figure it out. Have podcasts on Saturn's rings.

I mean, at least be useful, if not desirable.

Chart some stars; test the atmosphere; plant space corn or something. Listen to the sound of the spheres and write some reports on it.

Stop complaining that no one wants your eggplant, and channel that energy into discovering a space dust molecule or something.

I'm proud of myself today.

I got two things done on today's to-do list, held a leadership team meeting, and am working on show flow.

I have not cried or broken down in stress or worry.

Yay. Lookit me. High-functioning Black woman holding her shit together while wearing a jumpsuit and clogs.

My Joyfriends are really coming through.

Day two of really messed up hair. I'm not going to bother for the rest of the day. I'm just gonna look like a bird made a nest on my head and call it.

Yeah I went to work one day in a sleeveless shirt with a ginormous bite bruise on my arm and one of the women asked me if I needed DV services. It was an awkward convo.

Why do universities have endowments and investment portfolios? Love this young woman's precise summary.

Fascinating.
At a time when America took a hard right into neo-fascism, nonprofits retreated from public engagement and advocacy.

This does not bode well -- for the sector or society.

When literally the third plank in the social compact is saying, La La La, I can't hear you, then the social compact is FRAKKED.

The #nonprofit sector needs less chicken shit leaders. Jesus.

Petty goes to Washington. SNORT.

THIS was better than ice cream.

MTG thought she could play. Then she discovered no one plays like a Black woman with a fast mouth.

Heh.

The white dudes in this clip crack me up.

I just love that it's on the record. Even if it was struck.

It's on the record of CSPAN.

Also, Jaime Raskin's face was priceless. He knew what she said. The Chair needed a moment to catch up.

And the way MTG immediately clutched her pearls and objected. SNORT

Daycare pickup was hilarious.

Benson was wearing his Big Dog muzzle this time. Aaron was ready; I was ready. We got Benson in the back of the Subaru. He frolicked as usual.

I was chatting with Aaron from the back seat when Benson suddenly climbed over the seats and into my lap. He plops his big butt down on the workout bag next to me and just pants in my lap.

That's all he wants. He doesn't like being in the back. He wants to sit with me. So....I guess that's what we're doing from now on.

He's sleeping now, big Schmoopie.

CA Supreme Court says cops can't detain you if you want nothing to do with them. 'Acting suspiciously' won't cut it anymore. They actually have to name the 'articulable facts' observed to justify detaining you.

Heh.

This is why the Dems and Black folks are going to need to have a conversation soon.

Because this is NOT it. Effing tone deaf.

And speaking of “The Breakfast Club,” (1985) you can be sure the cast of the inevitable remake won’t be quote so whitewashed.

Eh, I dunno. Might be if it's still set in the North Shore. Whitest zip codes ever.

You wont believe the number of stormtroopers theyre deploying against unarmed students unless you see it. This is just one side: at least 7 police departments with at least two layers at every point of egress, with several layers in back for rear control and rotation. They've got the army out against your kids for having the audacity to do whatever they can to stop a genocide

a wide (~50m?) staircase with maybe 20 rows of cops in full riot gear stare down a handful of unarmed students

@jonny

This is an orgy of power.
Irvine's admin should be absolutely effing ashamed of doing this to their students.

And what's the U.S doing about the Congo, anyway?

(I'm procrastinating. I have work writing to do and I'm doing it! But I'm also doing this.)

Hada unfollow a bunch of you the past 10 days for my own sanity - I simply cannot do this for six months. On some level I hope you win, because I like breathing, but at the end of the day pretending things aren't the way they are, lives aren't already being destroyed, and being mad to the point of seeking the active fall of this fascist police state is a selfish choice somehow, is not acceptable to me. Especially not every 8 mins for 6 months. See you in December if you don't rage block me.

Every event I see from the WH is a super spreader. No one is masking at all and they're all in these reception rooms with zero mitigation.

A double candidate Covid wave in October/November would solve a lot of things, ethically, for me.

TIL that low estrogen also affects the elasticity of tendons and can contribute to hip and joint pain.

Gotdammit. I'm gonna have to take some collagen pills, aren't i?

Don't even get me started on that new Bumble ad.

Stupid marketing for the male gaze (Bumble) vs Smart marketing for the female gaze (Match).

It's right there in front of them!

Right?
I don't even like Match and I was like, Kudos! That was a good campaign!

@flyingsaceur @thepoliticalcat

You're absolutely right. Bumble prides itself on having an in-house marketing+PR team, I read somewhere.
