Good evening everyone, hope you had a good Sunday! After our trip to the Botanical Gardens we did a couple hours of yardwork, the joys of home ownership. I did have time for a contemplative walk around the lake while listening to my audiobook. Overall a wonderful weekend.

Now I'm patiently waiting for mashed potatoes and pork loin, my Sunday evening dinner.

Have a good night! 🌃

Ooof.

Can my manager keep their job if they honestly say "There is no chance this team will ever hit its objectives"? Fuck no, if they did that they'd be gone, so the system is constantly selecting for people that are either too dumb to realize it's hopeless, too perversely incentivized to be honest, or too deep into despair to admit to themselves it is hopeless.

Once again I have no idea who originally created this, but I salute you.

Good morning coffee fiends. I mean friends!

A serving of yesterday’s leftover pour-over coffee left in the carafe. What to do? Steam the same amount of milk until hot and make a delicious café au lait. Mug made by my spouse, of course.

Right, Monday morning. Again.

Still not really functioning but trying my best to be ok. Parents are safe, moved from south Israel to the centre. Thanks to everyone who recognises this for what it is and for warm wishes, it means a lot. Being Israeli living abroad is very scary in times like this, but my loved ones support me and I'm grateful for it. I've been mostly unable to work for a few weeks so this hit even harder now. Made new things too they're available here, reblogs are deeply appreciated

October 4, 2023 dozens of Israeli settlers forced their way into the flashpoint #AlAqsaMosque complex in #occupied East #Jerusalem to mark the fifth day of Sukkot….

Since Oct 1, thousands of settlers have been carrying out provocative tours of the mosque complex following calls by #ultranationalist Jewish groups.

asked my fam if they felt the earthquake just now and they all said "we thought you were doing something in the garage" and if I'm being honest I'm kind of proud that their first assumption is that anything that significant was caused by my shenanigans

Steve Herman @w7voa is probably the most famous news reporter whom you've never heard of. As chief national correspondent for Voice of America, his reports are heard around the world — but not in the U.S.

Herman was our guest this week on "Two Rivers, 30 Minutes."

Herman recently spent a year as journalist-in-residence at the Pitt Law School. We asked him about the VOA, his career, and what he learned from working with students at Pitt:

how many times have you had covid?

(boost for reach! im genuinely curious)

The difference in engagement here vs the ex-bird site is staggering.

I did an experiment. My last post was shared 12 times over there (where I allegedly have 85k followers). A nearly identical post was shared 361 times here (where I have fewer than 6k followers). Amazing.

It's time for some sleeepp

Gooodnight my dear friends ❤️

"Whatever Republican hard-liners may say, they want Russian President Vladimir Putin to win. They view the Putin regime’s cruelty and repression as admirable features that America should emulate. They support a wannabe dictator at home and are sympathetic to actual dictators abroad."
