Re supposed end of the Target boycott: it’s 100% bullshit. See statement below from an *actual* leader of the initial DEI boycott.
Even if true (to repeat, it’s not!), it’s not up to any small group. Target has fixed nothing + compounded its DEI sins with ICE complicity. People are done with it!
Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”
The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣
TBH, that’s not a bad name for an album.

This is the way.
News peeps - DON’T DO THIS! Jeezus.
Every time I open a news app or site and this story isn’t being discussed or featured prominently I feel like I’m losing my mind. Do not look away.
This passive voice stuff is weak, weak, weak and really needs to stop.
Attacks leave dead vs killed
This same argument can be extended to excluding black characters, to excluding women characters from certain roles, to any form of bigotry you can imagine.
It is explicitly agreeing to reproduce the existing system of oppression and bragging about it in the newspaper
musician Gary Numan, born March 8, 1958, aged 68
actor Gary Oldman, born March 21, 1958, aged 67
Happy Gary Retrograde everyone!
The next two weeks are the only two weeks out of the year when Gary Numan is older than Gary Oldman
Hegseth needs to stand trial after this as a war criminal. Between this attack and the girls' school, there's no ambiguity. He is responsible for mass murder and must be held accountable.
Hello-
I am running this 5K tomorrow and I’m soooo close to my goal of raising $5K for @hofoco.org.
Even if you can’t donate a repost would be 😍. We rescue millions of pounds of good food about to be wasted each year and get it to those who need it. Help the environment and help fight hunger 🤝

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
Head Chaplin of the US Armed Forces in Europe during WWII, and absolutely no idea - never met or heard from the other grandpa.
It’s basically like the “Verified” badge on the Hellsite - Public official with an “R” next your name moves you right to the top of the forgiveness list.
I was a professional dancer in a B-52’s music video.
Already there, my brother. Already there.
Just horrifying.
D’OH! Guess I focused too much on the text; somehow I skipped right over in the table. My bad. Carry on!
@floobish.bsky.social @trekmovie.bsky.social Since it wasn’t intended for theatrical distribution, shouldn’t we include Star Trek: Section 31 in the production timeline? Or have we all just agreed to never speak of it again? 😛😛😛😛 🖖🖖🖖🖖
Ah! Figured out what happened. Somebody blocked me so when I scrolled back up the chain after three days, I didn’t see any of the comments in the thread above. Absolutely will be happy to address the problems of ageism in the workplace. Gotta take care of an errand now but will chat later. Thx!
Okay! My bad. Which part of this am I supposed to be replying to? Happy to do so - just didn’t see a part that necessarily needed clarification.
If you do want an actual reply, try short declarative sentences with a subject, verb and object, preferably in that order, and we’ll see how it goes.
So consider this both an apology and an olive branch, Mainers. We MUST unite all parts of our coalition to defeat the fascist scourge threatening our nation! ✌️🖖
Also, by the number of "blocks" I got, I can see I apparently pissed off a certain type of Maine liberal who I consider an ally. For that, I apologize - I know y'all are in the thick of it with the current "Senior vs. Nazi" debate (IMHO, not a great debate to be having, but 🤷♂️...)
I sure would like a NEW generation of leaders to take the national stage - people who grew up using the Internet, who know what crypto is, and why it's a scam (😉), people who can bring FRESH approaches to our many, many problems.
Cautiously and in the name of supportive liberal unity, I offer this observation which touches on the same themes I was (apparently clumsily) trying to hit - I'm ready for new blood! I am not "ageist" or against older people being public servants- experience counts! BUT...

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2007, the US president was born in 1946.
In 2017, the US president was born in 1946.
And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.
