@SouthwestAir you hiring only former Spirit employees or what? Everybody so mean, y'all are cooked. Way more money for way worse experience.

Wild there are people out there who can't read map but their job is drive car

Big thanks to the Texas legislature for accidentally telling us we can trip balls on morning glory and mountain laurel flowers

A rising tide sinks all boats, right?

Between the Trump Hotel Gaza shit and the US pulling aide from Ukraine, I am wondering how all those protest voters are feeling about their choices now

Silver lining of getting laid off a week before Christmas? Not dreading the long to-do list waiting for me on Jan 2

[Rick Ford @rickyzager]

Maybe instead of generative AI, we could spend a little bit of time figuring out how to make a single fucking fridge with a ice maker that isn't the actual shittiest thing humans have ever made

[Rick Ford @rickyzager]

2024 has been wild, getting laid off in my underwear was definitely not on my bingo card. 2025 what you got?

[Rick Ford @rickyzager]

We had a good run

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

London mayor @SadiqKhan has issued a statement on the US election:

“I know that many Londoners will be anxious about the outcome of the US Presidential election. Many will be fearful about what it will mean for democracy and for women’s rights, or how the result impacts the situation in the Middle East or the fate of Ukraine. Others will be worried about the future of NATO or tackling the climate crisis.

"London is - and will always be - for everyone. We will always be pro-women, pro-diversity, pro-climate and pro-human rights.

"London is a place where we’re proud of our diversity, proud of the contribution of all our communities and proud of our spirit of unity. These are some of the values that will continue to bind us together as Londoners."

"The lesson of today is that progress is not inevitable. But asserting our progressive values is more important than ever - re-committing to building a world where racism and hatred is rejected, the fundamental rights of women and girls are upheld, and where we continue to tackle the crisis of climate change head on."

“If we don’t elect Donald Trump, we will lose democracy in this country.”

It’s really hard to express my contempt for the sort of monster who would immigrate to a country, use it to become the richest man, and then weaponize his wealth to bite off the hand that fed him.

[Rick Ford @rickyzager]

@thvlyt Texas moved so far right today, it erased progress made in every election since 2008. I wish I had an answer beyond "I live in city and city is liberal" -- being from Texas, the correct answer is much more complex and depressing

[The Saurus @TheSaurus831]

Really is a tough call.

On one hand - every Nobel prize winning economist is adamantly stating that Harris has a significantly better economic plan

But on the other hand - the dumbest people I’ve ever interacted with say Trump is a good businessman

Quite the dilemma

[Zach W. Lambert @ZachWLambert]

What a devastating indictment of our country.

[Brandy Bryant 🏳️‍⚧️ @InkMasterbator]

Y'all worried about the price of eggs, I'm worried if I'll be legally defined as a human being tomorrow. We are not the same.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

[God @TheTweetOfGod]

In an ideal scenario the President of the United States and the worst person in the world would be two different people.
