I had mostly given up on this site since @elonmusk took over but the blocking of @tweetbot is the last straw. Find me on mastodon at xoxo.zone/@bluefacedbeast
Fuck Elon Musk.

Giant companies love to #rugpull their fans, tempting them into a commons with lofty promises of a system that we will all have a stake in, using the fans for unpaid creative labor, then #enclosing the fans' work and selling it back to them. 4/

"We can't keep handing over billions each year to an apartheid state violating human rights."
Every year, @RashidaTlaib returns to the House floor to say what most others in Congress will not. We stand with her and we will keep fighting to end US complicity in Israeli apartheid.

unlimited pto is so funny because at its like, wait, i could take a month off whenever? and then you realize it actually adds unspoken social pressure to not take any specific time off because your team needs you now and you can just it later
scoop: Microsoft employees are getting unlimited time off. Microsoft will no longer require US employees to formally record vacation later this month, and they're getting a payout for any unused days. Details here: theverge.com/2023/1/11/23550…

Congratulations to Microsoft employees on your new four day workweek.
Oh, you can't take every Friday off? Why, that would imply that it's not "unlimited" so much as it is "a scam to not have to pay out unused PTO when you depart the company."

The BBC have branded Prince Harry's new memoir Spare "The weirdest book ever written by a royal".
Which is a great excuse to tell you that in 1597 King James VI & I published the Daemonologie, a book on necromancy, black magic, and how to find, test, and punish witches.

Rep. George Santos (R-NY) has repeatedly misrepresented his achievements, his career, and his heritage both before and during his time as an elected official. Here is every lie he’s told the public about his life so far. bit.ly/3XoySvB

I've made my call to express my opinion on the OGL 1.1 to Wizards and Hasbro. You should give them a call and let them know what you think about this mess.

A CDC study showed that most people are willing to wear a mask when there’s high COVID transmission, however most people also think COVID transmission levels are much lower than they actually are.

Here's my new "Spaceballs Argument" for unconditional basic income. Something to consider using whenever someone claims that people have no right to eat without working for it.

A lot of people make fun of Elon Musk's tunnels, but I'm impressed by it. You could give me 1,000 years and I'd never come up with a solution to traffic as dumb as "a single lane tunnel for only one kind of car that you still have to drive in".
Truly beyond the scope of my mind.

The whole idea of "the Pritzker family" being a huge funding base for "the Trans Lobby" was imagined up by right-wing antisemitic conspiracy theorist and anti-LGBT reactionary Jennifer Bilek. In reality the Pritzkers mostly donated to Republicans but now support Lincoln Project.
