When hiring someone, I would much rather teach someone with a great attitude and curiosity a hard tech skill they don't possess than try (and almost certainly fail) to teach someone with hard tech skills to develop the great attitude and curiosity they don't possess. Every damn time.

Apropos of nothing in particular: SHOES
Per the FEMA training I took 30 years ago, the one thing that best ensures your survival in a disaster is whether you made it out of the building with shoes on.
Everything else can just be scrap-wraps, but shoes are high-tech. Put them on first, then run.

Realizing the "we poisoned you all with lead for decades" generation was immediately followed by "we fucked up teaching you how to read, now you're bad at it and hate it" generation to be followed by "Mandatory AI will fry your cognition" generation. Well, shit.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

Our entire working life is an exercise of "Are you producing enough capital to justify keeping alive?"
It's dehumanizing, exhausting, and traps people in abusive employment situations

Your colleagues promised us — promised activists, promised social media influencers, promised organizations — that they were actually going to fight for the ACA, that it was non-negotiable.
You lied to us. You betrayed us. And this is your plan? I know you're not this stupid Sheldon.

The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down?
Federal workers aren’t furloughed.
Funding for social services doesn’t dry up.
Failure to pass a budget triggers an election.
It puts the politicians jobs on the line.
They get the budget passed.

I'm in wait and see mode right now but it comes to mind that the reason you don't have to quarantine for covid anymore was the airlines.

“We just witnessed a No Kings protest that was among the largest in American history, we had an election night on Tuesday where Democrats crushed Republicans across the board, and Trump has the lowest approval rating of his Presidency. Obviously, this is the time for us to cave.”

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

if PEOPLE aren't doing better than they've ever been, I don't give a fuck what else you got to say.
i think the main thing a lot of you “the economy is better than it’s ever been” types are failing to grasp is that it really—and i mean REALLY—makes it look like you don’t give a shit about poor people.

If you love someone, tell them.
If you miss someone, reach out.
If you can spend time together, do it.
One day, you’ll wish you had more of those moments.

Im dying from cute overload, chilling with a small black kitten carrying a pink stuffy mouse toy and growling like he just took down an antelope.
I managed to get a pic, even if he dropped the mouse. His name is Delan. We rescued him and his sister Maple last night.
