The 2nd Amendment is being watered with the blood of innocents. Sensible gun laws need to be enacted.

I have sufficient reason and evidence to believe that I was terminated from Rune Labs in retaliation for protected anti-discrimination whistleblowing activity.

Normally, NDA would prohibit me from disclosing this. However, thanks to Washington’s Silenced No More Act, my ability to speak about discrimination, harassment, or retaliation that I have witnessed in the workplace is legally protected.

🔊Boosts appreciated.

Maybe a part of what I like about mastodon right now -- as with Twitter a thousand years ago -- is that it seems so ridiculously impossible that anyone might make money, ever, this way.

RSL fans are the worst.

Now the willful incompetents at the New York Times political desk are normalizing George Santos. It's hopeless to expect better from this crew. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/29/nyregion/george-santos-washington.html?smid=tw-share

@GolfRat Just got the substack app yesterday.

Also, FYI, I am no longer at McLane.

Long story over several drinks YKWIM?

How Elon Musk Turned the Blue Checkmark Into a Scarlet Letter
“The masses are not balking at paying for Twitter Blue because they’re trying to shelter themselves within a crumbling elitist internet order, but because they think Musk is offering an unworthy product and is also a dickhead.”

That age when you are too young to get your pension, but no one will hire you because you are too old.

Good morning and let’s not forget that Clarence Thomas is a corrupt scumbag who absolutely broke the law and who never should have been anywhere near the Supreme Court. Don’t even get me started on Gemini.

@FBChimichangas it's only Logical

it literally took the US tech press the better part of fifteen years to realize musk was an unremarkable rich brat cosplaying as a supergenius engineer, which says more about our press than it does musk

Looking for #Sports mastodon

That was a #Flagrant2 for sure in the #Lakers game

Well, there was a loud noise as we launched into the air, then I was in the air. There were pretzels. Then I wasn’t in the air anymore.
