I'm looking for roles in #DevRel management for a friend. If you know of any, could you please send them my way? Also, please consider boosting this post for visibility. Thank you in advance. :revblobfoxcomputerowo:

Jake Tapper expertly shut down one of McCarthy's trusted lieutenants' lies about the GOP's ridiculous IRS de-funding bill. 👏

Finland has closely watched the Russian troll factory's efforts to create chaos in free democracies. We now educate our children to recognize #misinformation and rank #1 in our ability to resist it.

I wish the Americans would do the same.

@phaedral is correct. The news cycle, fed on an hourly basis, by the GOP loons makes it impossible to keep up on any one instance. That's why we need good #Historians to keep us reminded of the very long list of #GOP #Lies and #misinformation

They think that if they say it enough, we will eventually believe it. We have to fight back with a constant effort to serve up #facts and #science.

Stop giving religions a “pass” simply because they boast many adherents. A disheveled individual talking to herself on a street corner is seen as mentally ill - but if well dressed & surrounded by others doing likewise, she is seen as religious - even pious.
Abraham prepared to kill his son based on “God’s instruction,” & is lauded for his obedience. Anyone doing so today would go to the psych ward & possibly prison. We must live in #reality rather than #fantasy. #criticalthinking #atheist #RTS

Since there are no ads on Mastodon, I am offering to advertise for any companies on here. My only requirements are:

1. I get to write the ad.

2. The ad will in no way accurately portray your company and might state that you were responsible for the Cuban Missile Crisis.

3. For each post you must pay me $10,000 and write me a handwritten note that says I am your best friend.

4. You must put out an official statement stating that you take full responsibility for the Cuban Missile Crisis.

THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE
1. Private School
2. Legacy Ivy admission
3. Nepotism hire
4. Seed capital from family money
5. Club memberships
6. Personal assistant, nanny, ghostwriter
7. Journalists who ask “what’s your secret?” and uncritically publish the lame answer

Can't say I'm surprised.

When we first started dating, we were *uh* getting handsy and I said "damn you're good at this" and he said "yeah I went to college." The funniest thing my husband ever said to me.

The Missouri GOP is trying to pass state House rules that ban women from the right to bare arms.

No, literally, they're trying to ensure women don't show their bare arms. This is your part of "small government."

And FYI the Missouri GOP banning women from showing their bare arms isn’t a sign of Shariah or Taliban—it’s a sign of right wing “Christian” extremism in the U.S. Govt.

Stop deflecting extremism in America as something foreign. It’s 100% American. Admit it. Own it. Work to stop it.

I really have no idea if Change.org petitions have any impact, but this one is kind of personal: my nephew is a student at New College of Florida, and its really been a positive place for him. Ron Desantis' nakedly political motives here against people with little recourse is exactly what I'd expect from someone with authoritarian impulses... https://chng.it/K2d9vXXymR #florida #newcollegeofflorida #rondesantis

Cannot believe it’s been a year since you joined us. It’s been such a joy to watch you grow, witness your wobbly first steps, listen to your frequent giggling, and just take pleasure in seeing you as a happy, fun, and playful baby. Feeling all around pretty lucky to be your dad. Happy first birthday to our Annie.
