Would go great with a Mola profile picture!

Technically you just "improved" your chance of getting a job because Linkedin's new (ironically AI) algorithm specifically rewards people who post and comment by showing them higher on the list to recruiters. πŸ™ƒ Plus you used the word AI which I bet it prioritizes!

A Screenshot of three sections of the Wikipedia article about US Nuclear Weapons. It reads:

"Regardless of whether the United States is actually under attack by a nuclear-capable adversary, the President alone has the authority to order nuclear strikes. The President and the Secretary of Defense form the National Command Authority, but the Secretary of Defense has no authority to refuse or disobey such an order.[54] The President's decision must be transmitted to the National Military Command Center, which will then issue the coded orders to nuclear-capable forces.[55]"

"The command would be carried out by a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer (a member of a missile combat crew, also called a "missileer") at a missile launch control center. A two-man rule applies to the launch of missiles, meaning that two officers must turn keys simultaneously (far enough apart that this cannot be done by one person)."

"In 1975, a launch crew member, Harold Hering, was dismissed from the Air Force for asking how he could know whether the order to launch his missiles came from a sane president.[53] In response to this situation, Ron Rosenbaum wrote that no command and control system is foolproof, and that the sanity of senior nuclear decision makers would always be a weak point in any conceivable command and control protocol.[53]"

Attempting to feel less worried about someone "pressing the big red button", I looked up the actual procedure thinking it would have safeguards. It in fact has LESS safeguards than I thought and someone was in fact fired for asking how he can know he is following an order from a sane president.

I want to be worried about the "surveillance of Americans" because that SHOULD be a big deal.... But uncontrolled murder robots unleashed probably both on overseas targets and likely also "targets" on American soil is just so terrifying the former seems like child's play.

The same thing we feel every night, Pinky. Doom mixed with rage and existential dread.

A photo of two porch geese statues. One big and one small, on a porch. The big one on the left is wearing a festive green head scarf with a st Patrick's Day pattern. It has a hand made bucket of gold with gold coins hanging from its neck. The small goose on the right has a green and gold sequin bow tie around its neck and is wearing a hand made green top hat with black strip and gold buckle like a leprechaun image.

The world is on fire but my porch geese are calmly in denial and trying to be festive.

Did you know you can just chain hashtags together and no one can stop you? Watch: #WeCanEndTB if we #StandUpForScience!

That's great! You could probably have it forward to the Hank and John specific link pih.org/hankandjohn for full Nerdfighter power lol.

Maybe would need to be an ironic or snarky measurement instead.
Weight a mola has gained since Hank was told to run for office?

I think John would approve of this message. It takes more than just John to end TB and all of y'all are just as important to the fight!

If you like hot chocolate, try making toast with marshmallow fluff on it and dipping it in hot cocoa. (Or, hot cocoa with marshmallows and dipping buttered toast). The cocoa melts the marshmallow and it's heaven.

I assume for Hill Day? It must be weird to basically be like "stop looking at that dumpster fire for a minute and focus on this other lesser known dumpster fire with me."
But hey, your dumpster fire of choice is CURABLE! β™₯️

Well. Then I am wrong! Thank you for clarifying to a definitely NOT high net worth person. πŸ˜†

But Hank, they need a way to tell us that they are "worth" a lot, but it's all in investments and stuff so they are not "actually rich" and are just like us and definitely don't have access to obscene amounts of money at any given time. How else will we know they aren't like those OTHER rich people?

Ironic, both at my current and previous company our admins were the biggest fans of Teams memes/gifs/emojis πŸ˜†

Use Custom Emoji in Microsoft Teams - Microsoft Support Learn how to use custom emoji to build culture and identity, reinforce branding, provide tone, and add clarity to messages in Microsoft Teams.

Fun fact YOU can be the emoji designer now! And the emoji is available to the whole company if it's on your work teams.
The users at my company literally don't know how to shut down their laptops but found this feature and added random emojis with no context.

This was a couple years ago at this point. Right around when the Outlook reaction options first came out. Pretty sure I used something fairly mild and smug like just the 😊 emoji but I know I included an exclamation point and made it obnoxiously "polite".

I once had someone submit a ticket demanding we turn off emoji reactions in Teams and Outlook for our entire company because "work is not Facebook." Had a good laugh and included an emoji in my close notes of the ticket telling them "no."

I haven't seen it yet but I'm mostly in the Gmail app. I do have all of the smart suggestions and AI stuff turned off though including "smart compose" so perhaps it's connected to that? Or I've just been lucky.
HOWEVER, zendesk is grammar checking me now and it makes my job 100x more annoying.

Hey Canva, just a tip. If your "premium" content ends up being full of AI slop, a lot of users will probably stop paying you and just switch to using free/cheap AI to make the slop themselves.

I used to use an apparently strongly scented detergent. I loved it, it smelled like patchouli. Had no idea it smelled so strongly though until I was told that you could smell me from a distance and "we thought you knew." πŸ’€ My entire job just thought I wanted to smell "like a hippy". 🀣

If you spent 2 weeks watching the Olympics and now you’re thinking about picking up a new hobby, I have a suggestion:

Haven't watched the video yet but I feel like this may be the least surprising video title I've ever seen from Hank.
Hank, I have described you more than once to people as a "perfect example of ADHD weaponized for good". So, looking forward to the video.

I am a Costco person in spirit. In practice I must send my partner and limit my own trips because the warehouse is overcrowded and an absolute sensory overload nightmare for me.
I yearn to browse a quiet and empty warehouse for all the deals.
