ICE is offering a $132K to $185K per year for supervisory roles & $306K per year to concentration camp managers. Both jobs have ZERO education requirement.

Meanwhile the average starting salary is $46,526 for teachers and $68,485 for nurses. Both jobs require a Bachelors degree & often a graduate degree.

It's a lie that we can't pay teachers & nurses. An uneducated and sick populace is easier to control, creates higher crime rates, and feeds the prison industrial complex. This is by design.

HP is putting #ads on their (Microsoft Windows) laptops. Isn't that special?

(why, yes, we are having a Linux installfest next month, see my pinned toot for details)

@Aaidanbird It’s one of the benefits of pervasive AI use. People with cognitive impairment from Covid can merely claim the impairment is due to reliance on AI.

Running a used book store means you get to make up your own awesome filing system

Funny story from my past.

In the 1990s at a bar in West Seattle located across from a Jack in the Box fast food restaurant.

While sitting at the bar, I heard the JITB manager Alan begin speaking, seemingly to no one. "Hello may I take your order?" (This was before cell phones.)

Then I noticed he was wearing a headset and was taking an order from someone at the drive thru. He left his beer, ran across the street, filled the order, and came back to the bar.

Alan was a badass.

Katze beobachtet die Welt - handgemaltes Acrylgemälde

#art #painting #cats #caturday #whiskerswednesday #CatsOfMastodon

Katze beobachtet die Welt ist ein handgemaltes Acrylgemälde im Hochformat der Künstlerin Karen Kaspar.
Dargestellt ist eine schwarze Katze, die mit dem Rücken zum Betrachter vor einem strukturierten Hintergrund aus Blau- und Grüntönen sitzt.
Die Katze blickt in die Ferne, möglicherweise gedankenverloren oder die Welt beobachtend.
Das Bild vermittelt eine ruhige, nachdenkliche und etwas geheimnisvolle Stimmung.

@jstatepost I suggest a new strategy, R2: let the kitty win. 😜

Folks doing the blue sky links, maybe only post the ones worth the effort of screenshot-and-ALT?

The clicking over thing is getting old, and most of the posts are not worth it.

I backed this kickstarter 10 years ago for obvious reasons (it’s got my name all over it). I’m going to play this #boardgame for the second time in 10 years, today. Obviously, since it is #caturday , #MrMittens needs to help.

For a game like this, we have a large lazy Susan that we put the board on. Makes it easy to rotate it so someone can see well.

So the sword is like a sponge. You kill enough people and it charges up the sprayer. Then, when you've killed enough people you can spray all over them?

They are going to induce a migrane and then kill him. Good plan

If you want to save money on fight sequences, just film basically black scenes and put lots of swoosh, whoosh, pow! sound effects. We'll let our minds fill in the details.

This village is going to suffer a spell of bad unemployment. All the warlords who hire all the bodyguards are being killed. Who will pay all these men to stand around or go get killed fighting kung fu action stars?
