When someone shows up who can outperform me, the Reliable underachievers become my best friends. Does that make sense

If you’re a teacher, you can decide to be a cop or not to be a cop, but sometimes the choice is made for you.

Getting trauma dumped on by drunk teenagers is a pretty normal part of my job, but I gotta say, that hits different on Hallowe’en when the drunk trauma dumping teen is wearing a hot dog costume the whole time

The IATSE animation union (The Animation Guild - Local 839) is STILL (started on 8/11) in negotiations over their contract with the AMPTP (major studios) — We’re still fighting for protections against AI, increasingly tight timelines and team sizes, job creep, and stagnant wages. This year’s negotiations are critical for the future of this industry.

If you’d like to help take some action today — We currently have a public petition that anyone can sign. Help spread the word if you can.

Also, check out this anim my friend made to help get the word out — ig: @k_pakiz

Saw another bad typo today. Colleague was trying to write the adjective “poor” but instead wrote “poop”. I’ll never make a mistake like that

Last night, the big boss of the nonprofit that runs the historic landmark that I work for told me all about how his father was a master horse veterinarian / breeder, and how he knows all about that stuff and the racing and betting, top to bottom.
You bet I was clinching so hard trying not bring up Japanese horse breeding sims for obscure video game consoles.

I’m looking after a kid tonight and he can’t sleep so he booted up NHL 2023. Homeboy was playing the simulator mode, and, wtf this is more complicated than I thought it would be. Now it’s time for the Seattle Krakens to play against the New York Rangers I guess. Rangers just got a penalty. Let’s go Krakens

As soon as kid was saying it didn’t feel like it was on the hard difficulty, New York scored. It’s still 2-1 but that’s an important lesson. Never let your guard down in Madison Square Gardens

Context: that style of gameboy case clips perfectly onto the accessory band of a utility vest alongside my walkie. I unironically used it this way for 9 hours while running a bridge gate.
