i’m still not ready for it

a chocolate lab puppy does his best impression of sitting in a grassy lawn. his butt is down, but his hind legs are extended fully out in front. one of his front paws is standing on his tail. his chubby pink puppy tummy paunches out in a few wrinkles. his eyebrows are raised in concern over his grayish eyes. in the background, and elder statesman yellow lab looks on with mild disapproval.

This is Breuer. He's still figuring out how to sit. Wants to know what you think of his plop in the meantime. 12/10 (IG: chase.n.breu.labradors)

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

"Why did you come to this time? To warn us?"

The time traveler laughed. "Why would anyone listen to me?"

"You're from our future-"

"No, I'm from a different timeline, a different future. I'm a refugee."

"To here? Now?"

"It looks fucked right now, but this is the timeline that pulls through."

Somebody yelled at me for posting about Ganymede instead of /the state of things/ last night.

I know we’re (almost) all on the same page here, but a Bluesky without cute cats, science facts, and dumb jokes would be bad for everyone.

My team's intern just found a critical bug by shitposting in our codebase So our summer intern (who I'm 90% sure is a professional shitposter moonlighting as a dev) just saved our entire authentication service by being, well, an absolute agent of chaos Background. We have this legacy auth system that's been running since before TikTok existed. No one touches it. It's documented in ancient Sanskrit and COBOL comments. The last guy who understood it fully left to become a yoga instructor in Peru Enter our intern. First week, he asks why our commit messages are so boring. Starts aditing memes to his Whatever, right? Then he begins leaving comments in the codebase like // This function is older than and prubably pays tares //1000: Ask if this while loop has health insurance // Here Lies Sarah's hopes and dreams (2019-2022), killed by this recursive call The senior devs were split between horrified and amused. But here's where it gets good, He's reading through the auth code (because "the commit messages here are too normal, sus") and adds this gem // yo why this token validation looking kinda thic though // fr froo cap this base64 decode bussin // wait... hold un... this sin't bussin at alt Turns out his Gen Z spider-sense wasn't just tingling for the memes. Man actually found a validation bypass that's been lurking in our code since Obama's first term. The kind of bug that makes security auditors wake up in cold sweats The best part? His Jira ticket title: "Auth be acting mad sus im no cap frfr (Critical Security Issue)" The worst part? We now have to explain to the CEO why "no cap frfr" appears in our Q3 security audit report. The absolute kicker? Out senior security engineer's official code review comment: "bestie this find ngi snapped with I can't tell if this is the peak or rock bottom of our engineering culture. But I do know our intern's getting a return offer, if only because I need to see what he'll do to our GraphQL documentation

Added alt text because lol (horrified)

I feel this in my bones and also 90% of the time the written guide doesn’t answer my specific question and I end up going back to the video in shame

a fluffy brown ball of a dog sits with her back to the camera. she’s facing a mirror, and the dog looking back at her has wide sad eyes staring back, and two thick furry stumps for front legs.

‪This is Kokoro. She thought she was the roundest pup in all the land until she met this other dog today. Shocked and confused. Still 14/10

The Lives of Others but it’s a Chinese spymaster and a TikTok influencer.

i used to be so excited to update to the new version of my phone's or laptop's operating system, but now i'm mostly annoyed by the update and not excited for new features - have the updates changed, or have i?

It's natural to feel frustrated and tired and sick of all of the fucking effort to try to change the system, we just want to get our work done, focus on fun tech problems, make some money and go home to our families. We ALL feel that way, you are not special! Toughen up, guys.
