Dear Workgroup Facilitator,

It was exceedingly difficult to get four hours blocked out from meeting conflicts for two months straight so that this mandated activity would have my undivided attention.

In what world would anyone conceive that sending a reschedule notification to a different weekday and time into already scheduled meetings' times would be acceptable?

In what world would anyone conceive doing so four minutes prior to the scheduled start would be a good look?

Do better.

XOXO,
Me

DEI initiatives were all #performative #bullshit anyway. Really heavy on crafting a public image, with plenty of internal and external #propaganda and #marketing. #Target is not interested in actually supporting marginalized communities, just increasing profits.

The annual #pride stuff was the epitome of it. They only sold Pride goods in June but never year round. When right wingers put pressure on them for it, they folded like empty soda cans in a 24 ton hydraulic press.

Seven of the #RPG books I worked on were pirated by #Meta to train their #AI #Bullshit

Regardless as to my feelings on copyright, the IP owner did not consent to their inclusion in the dataset.

Meta's use is fundamentally immoral to the point that my own works will have an exclusion to their existing permissive licences to say "Fuck you and your idiot autocorrect"

See if they've pirated your work here: theatlantic.com/technology/arc

9 mois coincés dans l'ISS :

- vieillissement accéléré
- perte de la masse musculaire
- diminution de la densité osseuse
- exposition supérieure aux radiations
- système immunitaire affaibli
- risque de maladies cardio-vasculaires

Et on ne parle pas des problématiques du retour sur Terre ou de l’implantation d'une colonie

BFMTVVieillissement, taille... Voici les effets de l'espace sur le corps des deux astronautes restés coincés dans l'ISSLes deux astronautes américains Suni Williams et Butch Wilmore, restés coincés dans la Station spatiale internationale (ISS) depuis neuf mois, sont rentrés sur Terre. Un séjour qui n'a pas été sans conséquences sur leur corps et leur santé.

I'm not watching #StephanieRuhl I'm watching #JonStewart on #TheDailyShow and Jon, I luvz ya but you got me cringing so hard at your mischaracterization of #ChuchSchumer fella.

Dems have ALWAYS said that shutting down the government hurts people, and now you think they should turn on a dime and take the traditional Republican position of shutting down the government every time you don't like something. #BULLSHIT

You were right about citing the gym bike that doesn't go anywhere to where the Dems are today, but you just drove 'em into the gym wall.

To subvert the truth, you must first know it, or at least think you do.

That’s not Trump’s game.

As Harry Frankfurt puts it, “It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing #bullshit requires no such conviction.”

Trump doesn’t have to check the nation’s unemployment and inflation rates to assert that “we inherited from the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.”

He doesn’t have to know anything about the Paris accord to claim it is “costing us trillions of dollars.”

It just doesn’t matter to him

@elduvelle
This road is NOT "being built for the COP30 climate summit"! This is #bullshit framing.

Belem is a city with over a million inhabitants, over 2 million in the area. It doesn't need a new road for 50,000 COP visitors who will leave again afterwards.

This road is built for the same reasons all highways are build: to fuel a car dependent lifestyle and economy. It has nothing to do with a COP.
