This algorithmic bias to select for and promote furry-like content is called "furry inflation" if you want to learn more just search for it.

It wouldn't be heaven if they made you hang out with all the dead evangelicals.

Some people believe there's no purpose to "liking" something on Mastodon since it doesn't affect any algorithm.

Not the case.

It does something incredibly valuable: it acknowledges people.

Which is incredibly powerful, and is all the more important *because* it's not connected to gaming any algorithm.

By liking something on Mastodon, you are doing it honestly -- without any agenda at play other than that you like it.

So go ahead. Click that like button for its own sake.

Idgaf if you pour your milk first or cereal, just shut your mouth while eating.

Soooo, it ‘appears’ that “the largest egg producer in the US,” has seen their profit margin soar, showing a massive increase since last year. Avian flu seems to have played an insignificant role. Inflation seems to have played a zero role. Greed seems to be the bottom line. Just another example of what folks with money are willing to do to the little guy to increase their profits. Geez, maybe we should reward these big egg producers with some hefty tax cuts. 🤬 mindly.social/@annie/109755900

If I have to tip someone in a restaurant bathroom, the least he could do is hold it for me while I go.

I like the Navy because they have terms like, “dinghy”, “rear admiral” and “poopdeck” and nobody has questioned it since its inception.

@RitchieTorres Wouldn't it be better to also make sure things are declassified when they are past their point of usefulness?

The vast majority of "classified" documents that Biden turned over were itineraries and other Presidential travel documents.

Why are those sorts of things still classified?

@RitchieTorres

Why is it when someone powerful breaks the law, instead of enforcing the law, new laws get written?

Folks only being able to get medicine because of a kind neighbor’s anonymous donations is a sign of systemic failure, not a feel good story.

*the truth about what really happened to the dinosaurs, unicorns, and the dodo

With so many places having done layoffs lately, I wanted to mention the US Digital Service is hiring. It's a wild place to work, but also you get to work on legitimately meaningful projects that affect a lot of people (in 2022, we made it easier for transgender ppl to get passports, helped low-income families buy food, and I got to help identify disadvantage communities for environmental funding). I'm happy to talk about USDS if you're on the fence. ow.ly/LpqJ50LVnPV #fedihire #fedijobs
