La prochaine fois qu'un patron viendra chialer sur ses "charges", envoyez lui ce graphique à la gueule (imprimé sur un parpaing de préférence).

Ça fait +40 ans que les bourgeois nous imposent la baisse des impôts sur les entreprises et transfèrent cette charge sur les gueux.

I have learned about books. They are pressed forests. Which means most of you keep a small quiet wood on a shelf in your dwelling and visit it at night when you cannot sleep.

I think this may be the best thing you do. #Bookstodon

NEW: These local jails in Florida were supposed to detain immigrants for only up to 72 hours, per DHS.

One woman was rebooked 10 times, spending a cumulative 26 days in jail.

Are you at Worldcone?

Want to hear me read from my brand new novel about time traveling vampires?

Come to my reading on Monday at 12:30!

New documents reveal that the San Francisco International Airport is sharing your face with Customs and Border Protection. The airport is paying millions of dollars a year for the system, which advocates say violates San Francisco’s Sanctuary City Ordinance. Advocates spoke out at Tuesday’s Airport Commission meeting urging the airport to minimize collaboration with immigration authorities and alert travelers of privacy risks.

I was sleeping all day. What's the latest slop news? (Wrong but plausible answers only)

This kind of thing insults the intelligence of viewers. Israel would be nothing without constant subsidies from the US. Most Zionists are in America and aren't "Jewish," just imperialist (with or without Armageddon sauce).

After careful consideration, I have decided to nap all day today.

Fediverse, tell me about Open Source options for a CRM system for small/medium non-profit enterprises.

I'm considering pitching another project for a sovereign/local tech stack review for non-tech small enterprises. Seems really hard to pry them out of cloud-hosted enterprise software.

I'd love to find a way to be a fractional Technical Services&Implementations analyst for 3-4 small orgs, rather than sell my soul for a corporate paycheque forcing 100's of clients onto one commercial system.

@davidgerard Thanks for the tip. Gonna prompt inject this onto my site now.

"llms.txt" is yet another instance of big tech #FAFO.

Why would I want to help out a #Clanker botnet that's been attempting to #DDoS my site by mass scraping without permission for about a year now?
I'd rather tell them to go execute ": () { :|:& };:" in the command line in order to get them off my infrastructure.

@siracusa fair point.. and yes you are well past due for a new Mac. I am curious to see if Apple leaves that loophole open in the new ones or tries to close it.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a little door on the bottom to add another drive or swap out the original without having to take it apart 😊

Looking forward to the review once you get your new toy! :)

I am actually very much in favour of Omarchy because I am very much in favour of all those fuckheads going off and being in one place where they will never bother me

A local collector just sent me this photo of her dinner on one of my plates.

Just want to say that approximately zero times has “save your energy for the big fight” / “pick your battles” ever panned out. The entire concept aims to prevent you from voicing opposition in a moment you have the ability to and the most influence over. In a theoretical future fight, that undoubtedly became bigger because you didn’t speak up sooner, your voice probably carries less weight. The best time to voice opposition to bad things is when you see it, not after it has air to breathe.
