Slow down a little, genius - I'm merely gifted

Sigh... I've been studying Ancient Egypt on my own since early childhood, and find most periods of Egyptian history fascinating. The foreign rulers' dynasties don't much interest me.

I've never owned a horse, but had many years of lessons, and rode horses and ponies of many breeds and dispositions. School horses, trail horses, rescued Jamaican TB ex-racehorses, and even some exotic gaited critters have been my mounts. Supporters of authoritarians are unwelcome here.

Detroit council opposes unchecked water use by AI data centers

The resolution notes that artificial intelligence data centers use water to cool down and "consume a tremendous amount of resources."

Let's hope our mayor makes the correct decision!

This weird and completely moronic person

is running to become Michigan's next governor. 🤦‍♀️

Someone needs to define ‘wildfire’ for all the yankistani rethuglicants so they can learn (?!) what it means.

Apparently lightning also needs to be explained to them, and to their voters.

Another thing all of them really need to learn

is NO ONE CONTROLS THE WEATHER. Not the Jews, not the liberals, not NOAA, not the forecasters on tv.

And WTAF is it on about, saying “we have such a small summer” ??? WTF does that even mean?! Are we talking mass, volume…what?! If he’s tryinta say we have a short summer, I beg to fucking differ on that point, too. We often bake in Michigan alla way from May until the end of September, which is almost HALF the year. Is that “small,” mr james?!

merkin von bankrupt has made it trendy for ignorant and stupid rethugs to hate Canada, but this is the second year in a row that multiple rethuglcants have written letters to Canada, demanding the wildfires stop b/c smoke in yankistan! The Canadians should reply, "That wildfire in Minnesota is messing up our summer! Why haven't you used your weather-creating technology that absolutely exists to put a big raincloud over it and put it out?"

Working an office job will truly make you have the wildest enemies, bc why is my nemesis rn a woman I’ve never met and who exclusively haunts me by sending diabolical emails, and also a specific guy who left my company before I even worked here and made the system so fuckass that it ruined procedures for like a year

[ryan-sometimes]

Yesterday my nemesis (woman I’ve never met and whose face I’ve never seen) sent my office an email so rude, basically saying we had fucked up every project she ever ordered from us, one of the worst emails I’ve ever read in my life.

And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

It was the most satisfying workday I’ve had since I got hired.
