tl;dr: all "algorithmically" pushed stuff on a newsfeed is mostly ads. nothing that's really surprising form this vulture article, but it is dismal and makes me grateful for one website where you only see things from people you follow WITHOUT horrible short-form video content

[bitchking-of-angmar]

The Feed Is Fake

What if every viral song, movie, meme, influencer, and celebrity drama in recent memory was the result of a stealth marketing campaign?

> Elisabeth Bik is on patreon <

She is not directly paid for her work to vet papers, she has been hit with legal action & death threats by scientists who hate that she's exposing them and their financial fraud, and she keeps at it every single day, combing through thousands of papers to make science more fair. Please consider supporting her!

I don't know which of you needs to hear this but "narc" is not short for "narcissist" when someone calls you a "narc" for snitching they are calling you a "narcotics officer"

[gaesnek]

[monkey-mulch]

technically narc isnt even short for narcotics officer its just cant for Cop, I believe Roma in origin

[red-mercer]

I read years ago in a book that it was derived from nakk, Romani for nose, as in someone who always has their nose in other people's business

[grimeclown]

ITS DERIVED FROM "NARCO" AS IN "NARCOTICS" WHAT FUCKING BOOK

[grimeclown]

Okay you know what pulling back on my derision because i can see how this mistake would be made but narc and nark are etymologically unrelated

[headspace-hotel]

Etymology is always doing some shit like this

[bogleech]

Convergent evolution.

[bisexual-engineer-girl]

Linguistic crab

[backofthebookshelf]

Two entire linguistic traditions have merged to remind you not to be a fuckin narc

Last night I was talking to my boyfriend, and I couldn’t think of the word ‘library’, so I said ‘book ranch’. He thought it was hilarious and started making up alternative names for ‘librarian’.

“Cowbook! Like cowboy! No…Readcher? Like Rancher? No, fuck this is hard…”

and just now I heard him yell “BOOKAROO” from the other end of the apartment in the most triumphant tone of voice i’ve ever heard

#okay now join the IWW and train to be a Salter 🤞🏽🤞🏽🥺🥺

Nah besties, don’t keep this one in the tags, how many people on this hellsite even know what a salter is?

[jenmishamiga]

So taking a spot from someone genuinely looking for a job just for fun is considered activism now?

[iww-gnv]

The employers will argue that by salting, unions are being “deceitful”. Nothing could be further from the truth. Employers are always spying on their workers (even to the point of hiring specialists to pose as difficult “customers” in order to “test” a worker’s “loyalty” to the company, or encouraging favoritism by having one worker spy on another). Because the employing class has a well documented history of using deceitful tactics (including lies and intimidation) to undermine (legally protected) union organizing efforts by workers, salting is how workers can fight back against repressive and often illegal union busting tactics.

I think you have completely misread what OP is doing, because the whole point is that they are not taking the job. What, do you think the employer’s going to have the salter come in and decline the job and go “well, guess we’re not going to hire someone for that position after all”? No. If they’re interviewing for the position, it’s not a bogus position, it’s one they actually need to hire someone for. Someone is still going to get that job. It might take another round of interviews, but that job will be filled by someone who is genuinely looking for a job.

but when that person gets hired, they will have a better chance of successfully negotiating for a good salary.

That’s what the salting is about. It’s about making the boss or HR person or whoever think “gee, if we want a good candidate, we might have to bump up our salary expectations.” It doesn’t guarantee that they’ll do it, but it does raise the odds of it.

At the post office today:

Man with beautiful silver undercut and a coach bag: can I get a sheet of stamps please

Clerk: does it matter what kind?

Man, with homosexual despair: EVerything matters to me, unFORtunately.

“you’re such a ray of sunshine!” thanks! one day i chose to act happy and then i kept choosing it over and over and over and over until the neurological pathways formed like desire paths in the thicket. i dug and clawed my nails into the grooves of my brain and carved out joy. i retouch it every day.

born in the usa as an album is so funny. every single song is like im down on my luck. my hometown sucks. i hate the police. im going to prison. and people will see the flag on the cover and hear him shout "i was born in the usa" and be like yeah this is patriotic

hey. hey, you, us american adult who has to file taxes.

that shit has to be done by wednesday. it's almost april 15.

do not panic, you got this. this is just to help make sure you got this by wednesday. wednesday, april 15. you got this.

also google your state + "state return free file" and the state's tax dept website probably has a list of services that will e-file your federal AND state returns for free if you meet the income restrictions.

(you probably do.)

fuck turbotax. there are better, still easy options not trying to nickle and dime your broke ass for this nonsense out there, and you can probably use a few of them to file fed AND state for free.

by wednesday.

wednesday, april 15. 2026.

you got this.
