I've deleted this neurotic, volatile, time-wasting, algorithm-humping app from my phone. If you want/need to contact me, feel free to DM me on IG [at]jayismadeofstarstuff (personal account) or [at]l_a_Jaybird (street photography account).

Given the evolving workforce & economy, I'm surprised that all major job-seeking/recruiting websites don't offer a box to check or button to click to identify as a freelancer, contractor, or digital nomad.
Do you want to exclusively employ conformers? Or genuine free-thinkers? 🤷♂️

@Marvel Studios' Deadpool and Wolverine, in theaters July 26
ALT Image of a custom ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ Xbox Series X console with two katanas attached to the backside and a Deadpool-themed covering, set in an industrial scene. Two Deadpool-themed controllers flank the console: one facing forward and the other backward, revealing a cushion shaped like Deadpool’s buttocks attached to it. The Xbox logo is visible in the bottom left, and the ‘Marvel Studios Deadpool & Wolverine’ logo along with text reading “in theaters July 26” is in the bottom right corner. In the middle, there is text reading “© 2024 20th Century Studios ©&™ 2024 MARVEL” next to the Marvel logo.
Does @LADOTofficial use data and computer models to assess road closures prior to closing roads?
Or is it more like, "Let's block all left-turn lanes on Hill St. for 8 blocks unannounced so anyone entering DTLA from Chinatown wanting to get east of Hill St. is screwed, LOL!"

Do we know of worlds beyond Earth with rivers and lakes? We do! And we're looking for more!
If this skyscraper of a rocket even *leaves the launchpad* tonight I'll be a happy camper. #Artemis #Artemis1 #ArtemisLaunch 😎

Here’s an idea.
Let’s not talk endlessly about DJT.
It’s what he wants.
Have we—the press—learned nothing?
He’s not THE story.

When it’s raining in downtown Los Angeles but you need to drop off an envelope several blocks away to resist fascism, then it’s time to do a fashion:

As you watch tonight’s full Moon, remember that Jupiter’s ocean moon Europa is about the same size! Our mission to explore it up close gets underway in 2024. europa.nasa.gov
The lunar eclipse may be over, but you can still enjoy the full Moon tonight, weather permitting. Track the current Moon phase at: solarsystem.nasa.gov/skywatc… 🌕
My eyeballs hurt, but no headache.
Do I blame the time-change, lifestyle, careless lack of hydration, season change, my age (44), or maybe failure to adapt to the hybrid work situation?
Or should I simply assume I have 2 or 3 types of cancer, write my memoir, & get on with it?🤔

Can excessively dry air increase static discharge so much that the resulting O3 is detectable to the human olfactory sense?
Or is there some other correlation between extremely dry air and the fragrance of ozone?

Special reminder:
(esp. journalists and editors need it apparently?)
A "conspiracy" is a secret plot to do an actual bad thing.
A conspiracy THEORY is an attempt, usually by a jacka$s, to explain the bad things that happened, or sometimes things that didn't happen. (🧵1/2)
