I used to do a lot of interviewing of prospective hires at my last job (I'm a programmer). It was not at all uncommon to ask a candidate a question and then hear multiple voices whispering in the background along with frantic keyboard tapping sounds, and the candidate would take 5-10 seconds before answering. I just don't understand what their thought process was for even attempting this - it earned them an immediate "no further action".

I won't say what country all of these candidates were from. It would be obvious to anyone in this field.

I only knew about Cortez because my MAGA cousins would rant about her and the Green New Deal and I decided to look her up.

Happened to see this video today. I'm somewhat suspicious that The Dodo is AI bullshit with fake "producers" and whatnot, but at least it's sophisticated AI bullshit if so and the videos are cute.

Better or worse than rape-via-twitter? Better, I guess.

Damn, even the phrase Bono stole was stolen.

I remember when Bono threw this into the lyrics for "Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World", like he had thought of it himself (he didn't - this was already an expression by 1991). That was when U2 jumped the shark for me.

1968?

Making a million a year doesn’t mean you’re any less happy than making a billion.

Eh, I had a boss years ago who owned a temp agency. His income from the business was about $40K per month and he lived in a beautiful beach house and drove a nice Mercedes and ate out at great restaurants every day etc. etc. No financial problems whatsoever but his friends were all west coast venture capitalists worth hundreds of millions of dollars and he absolutely seethed with resentment at how relatively poor he was.

I always liked Sam Kinison's routine about Jesus coming back: "yeah, I'll be back when I can PLAY THE PIANO AGAIN! OHH!! OHHHHHHHH!!!"

They eat road-pizza squirrels as well. Although they're scared shitless by the still-living ones.

Meanwhile my local crows just sit there looking aggrieved while a single squirrel eats all the peanuts I put out for them. I don't understand it at all, but squirrels must be seriously badass, at least as far as crows are concerned.

Gang up on hawks
Get chased away by solitary bluejays and squirrels

Nobody speak, nobody get choked ...

That new Gaza resort.

Looks like he's claiming the second floor set fire to the Reichstag or something.

My cat also loved my hammock for 18 years. He made exactly one trip up to the end to check out where all the rope comes together, and then never again.

A friend of mine brought me a hammock from Brazil in 1992 and I still have it and it shows no sign of wear whatsoever. Brazilians know how to make fucking hammocks.

I had a boss once who went through a bitter divorce and many people at work were Facebook friends with his soon-to-be-ex-wife. She made one post where she described him as "ol' three inches two minutes".

At an absolute minimum he would be listed as "pre-diabetic".

I can't even bring myself to capitalize the t in trump. Or the m in musk, for that matter (or the n in nazi). It just implies a modicum of respect.
