Minor Real Life Complaint

Work for the government, they say.

Sure, the benefits are nice, but damn, sometimes I get tired of reporting what I'm doing/have been doing instead of just doing my job.

Then again, if I worked in the private world again, I'd be crushed by billables (again), so maybe it's not so bad...

Nope now it’s at the point that i’m shocked that people off tt don’t know what’s going down. I have no reach but i’ll sum it up anyway.

SCOTUS is hearing on the constitutionality of the ban as tiktok and creators are arguing that it is a violation of our first amendment rights to free speech, freedom of the press and freedom to assemble.

SCOTUS: tiktok bad, big security concern because china bad!

Tiktok lawyers: if china is such a concern why are you singling us out? Why not SHEIN or temu which collect far more information and are less transparent with their users?

SCOTUS (out loud): well you see we don’t like how users are communicating with each other, it’s making them more anti-american and china could disseminate pro china propaganda (get it? They literally said they do not like how we Speak or how we Assemble. Independent journalists reach their audience on tt meaning they have Press they want to suppress)

Tiktok users: this is fucking bullshit i don’t want to lose this community what should we do? We don’t want to go to meta or x because they both lobbied congress to ban tiktok (free market capitalism amirite? Paying off your local congressmen to suppress the competition is totally what the free market is about) but nothing else is like TikTok

A few users: what about xiaohongshu? It’s the Chinese version of tiktok (not quite, douyin is the chinese tiktok but it’s primarily for younger users so xiaohongshu was chosen)

16 hours later:

Tiktok as a community has chosen to collectively migrate TO a chinese owned app that is purely in Chinese out of utter spite and contempt for meta/x and the gov that is backing them.

My fyp is a mix of “i would rather mail memes to my friends than ever return to instagram reels” and “i will xerox my data to xi jinping myself i do not care i share my ss# with 5 other people anyway” and “im just getting ready for my day with my chinese made coffee maker and my Chinese made blowdryer and my chinese made clothing and listening to a podcast on my chinese made phone and get in my car running on chinese manufactured microchips but logging into a chinese social media? Too much for our gov!” etc.

So the government was scared that tiktok was creating a sense of class consciousness and tried to kill it but by doing so they sent us all to xiaohongshu. And now? Oh it’s adorable seeing this gov-manufactured divide be crossed in such a way.

This is adorable and so not what they were expecting. Im sure they were expecting a reluctant return to reels and shorts to fill the void but tiktokers said fuck that, we will forge connections across the world. Who you tell me is my enemy i will make my friend. That’s pretty damn cool.

“Army Clerk Gets Two Years,” Ottawa Journal. October 15, 1942. Page 3. ---- Joseph Real Michaud, 31. of 340 Somerset street west today was sentenced by Deputy Magistrate Sauve to two years in Kingston Penitentiary for stealing $3,182 in Government funds from the Ottawa Area Command headquarters, where he was employed as a clerk.

“l feel sorry, for your wife and child", the magistrate said, in passing sentence. "Although the system of checking up on the money received by you was not what It should have been in this particular department, it is no excuse for what you have done. ' 

The magistrate was convinced that had the stealing of the money been discovered, "as it should have been a month or so after it started", Michaud would not have been facing such a serious charge. 

Michaud pleaded guilty on September 29 to stealing the money over a period from October, 1940, to January of this year. In March he was sentenced to six month in the Ontario Reformatory for uttering forged documents and was paroled In August. Later he was arrested on the theft charge.

[AL: Michaud was 31 years, married, and despite his government clerk job, his prison file indicates a ‘window cleaner’ job. French Canadian, he was born in Hull-Gatineau but lived in Ottawa with his wife. He had no previous criminal record. He was convict #7072 at Kingston Penitentiary, and worked in the shoe shop. He was paroled November 1943.]

This is another Donald Trump scam, inspired by Elon Musk and Project 2025's plan to get rid of government employees and replace them with Trump loyalists. Trump already has the Senate, the House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court. If he gets a hold of the Federal Employees, his control over the entire U.S. government will be complete. (Please share this PSA)

In retrospect Braig's whole everything in Birth By Sleep is hilarious. Local bodysnatching immortal with a secret agenda is working a minimum wage security gig at a home depot near YOU! Also he will help you fake your own kidnapping for only 300 munny.

The employees did nothing wrong. Republicans are hollowing out the FBI as part of the planned weaponization against anyone 47 or Kash Patel don't like.

Employees at United Health Care told to shut up. Pressured not to talk about the corruption and "lionize the CEO". All hail the king!

Resentment for Thompson was widespread at the company, the employee said, citing an internal company announcement about his death that only garnered 28 comments despite being seen by 16,000 employees.

My senator sent me an email saying do not quit, and do not obey. I am not sure if I was supposed to get this email but I am glad there are warriors in DC who are fighting fascism. I plan on making a lot of calls again tomorrow.

To all the federal employees out there--thank you. To the postal workers making sure that people in rural areas get their prescriptions. To my friends at the National Institute of Health, the National Science Foundation, the National Weather Service, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration keeping us safe from diseases, floods, and hurricanes. To the folks at the Department of Agriculture and the Environmental Protection Agency making sure we have safe food to eat and safe air to breathe. To the people at the Bureau of Land Management making sure we use our natural resources wisely. To everyone at the Department of Justice committed to upholding the law and protecting our civil rights. The work you do is mostly invisible, but everyone in the US would feel it badly if you stopped doing it. Thank you for everything that you do for all of us.
