These two consecutive emails Handshake sent me are probably the best summary of the current job market that I've seen.

at least Ada Lovelace is "appearing elsewhere in this exhibit" instead of "not appearing in this exhibit at all"

I'm at an exhibit centered around the contributions of women to technology and, uh, this plaque is missing some very relevant information, like if there's maybe an important woman who worked alongside Charles Babbage

I downloaded a Firefox extension that lets you add custom CSS to any webpage and I fixed Canvas, it's all better now

thanks Fidelity that's super encouraging

apparently @queclecumber.bsky.social was involved in this

I don't think I've played quite enough games to properly fill this out (and maybe don't have strong enough opinions?) so instead here's a version that's like 85% trolling and 15% completely serious.

fuuuuck this shit

This guy must be desperate if he's texting ME to vote for him. Me! Hating Matt Mahan is a defining part of who I am as a person!

actually never mind, I can imagine, it's definitely Unitarian Universalists 😂 (my closest match was UCC as well!)

Is Xavier Becerra actually running a campaign, or just a text message spamming operation? All evidence I've seen points towards the latter! 🫠

This isn't necessarily the best picture of either cat individually, but it is definitely the best picture I have of the two of them together.

😐

Here's a fun game: guess which of these products contains beef! (the answer is both of them 🫠)

I don't hate April Fools Day. I know some "pranks" can be harmful and misleading, and obviously those are bad, but I actually like a small, harmless joke on April 1

Uh... why are my clothes being delivered by DoorDash!?

T-Mobile finally sent me the $0.93 they owed me, but they sent it as a prepaid credit card instead of a check (?) sure, whatever, fine, I can make an account and transfer it to my bank. Except...

I've recently discovered that this guy enjoys going for a "ride" in the laundry basket (in which I carry him around/spin in circles). I do this while singing "A Whole New World." It's possible I enjoy it even more than he does.

I know it will be a few years still but can someone please challenge @padilla.senate.gov

And two more

I've never gotten so many of these in one day.

I love how they somehow couldn't think of the most obvious reason a person would stop attending a university

There's an episode of Battlestar Galactica where a character plays piano, and they liked the out of tune sound of the piano on set, but it would have made it hard to re-record anything on a different piano later, so their solution was to SAMPLE THE ENTIRE PIANO

Maybe Adam Schiff thinks if he writes me a long enough email, I won't notice that he hasn't committed to anything actually meaningful, like the thing I specifically told him to do: abolish ICE.

This is good news. (reposting with alt text)

@rokhanna.bsky.social is anti-choice. He opposes abortion. He is perhaps too clueless to realize that "defending religious liberty" and "protecting free speech" is Republican double-speak for doing the exact opposite of those things, or he knows exactly what they mean, and he supports them.
