More directly, “Should I forward any of the child sexual abuse material that I am forced to encounter in the course of carrying out the duties of my role to HR or legal or both, and may I CC my own legal counsel when I contact the appropriate authorities?” Raise the temperature. Make them say it.

It was 10 years ago today that I flew to #PaisleyPark in Minneapolis to watch Prince play what was perhaps the best - and certainly the most intimate - concert he would ever play.
It was incredible.
I miss Prince.

deposing a foreign ruler and spending tens of billions of dollars on oil subsidies so we can put American frackers out of business, just in time for EVs to permanently collapse oil demand. that's the Trump business touch alright

I knew that Alexis Taylor from @hotchipofficial.bsky.social was a huge #Prince fan, and the man himself is obviously name-checked in the song.
But I had no idea how directly this video was derived from the #SignOTheTimes video - pretty cool.

Hard agree with this - companies are amoral intelligent agents - they need to be given strict limits and destroyed when they overstep these bounds.
I do not believe in the death penalty for humans.
I do support the death penalty for corporations.
When they murder people, let's dissolve them. Break them up, destroy their technology, nationalize their assets.
