Required reading for white folks:

"The Possessive Investment in Whiteness" by George Lipsitz

Again, the sooner, the better.
Especially for white leftists. Your analysis of anything is incomplete and void if not even marginally intersectional.

My brain legit just said to me: "I can't wait for the to show up."

It is. It very much so is and desperately needs to reconcile with that. The sooner, the better.

are just... all soft at this point in the Yzerplan. When Seider came up, he was the toughest and confident one on the team. Now? He's getting fist pumped in Boston? Seriously?

They're showing that fight clip until the Wings can remotely sniff a challenge.

Nyx

This is Nyx.This little void is something else entirely. We adopted her from the Humane Society on Friday the 13 in June. Which is normally not allowed, if not frowned upon here due to superstition baked into life about the two. But my wife and I were just at the pet supply store after something mildly upsetting happened elsewhere. Just intended on seeing the animals available and petting them.

@itsfoss I use RustDesk as a headless way to access my other computer and it's been the easiest thing I've come across.

I'm curious at this point:

Is anyone working in a physical/labor job right now? On your feet all day, or comparable, lifting, moving, etc?
Like warehousing, production, transportation, logistics, mechanic, custodian, so on?

I wanna know there's more to the & than just tech and tech.
I work in a warehouse, offloading appliances. I've been a truck driver and in door production.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag

“Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management.

Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.

Which tech giant's personal desktop app would you abandon forever the first chance you get?

@nixCraft everything to do with Google ecosystems. Especially Maps and Gmail (certain site keys require it only)

I am genuinely interested in what those thousand words are.

"Intolerance of uncertainty" is often associated with autists, but it doesn't fit me well. I spend time on a philosophy forum, arguing against the idea of certainty, which is often impossible and unrealistic in our real world.

Does this ring bells with you?

But that was a better and more succinct explanation than I have ever come across. Thank you so much.
