Lol CBS has change of leadership to hire new people to "[revamp] the stodgy, left-leaning network's business model" and it just seems that everyone they hire ends up being either a loser or a nonce

my sort of underbaked take is i liked the dilbert comic strip as a kid because its depiction of a banal and arbitrary work environment where nonsensical top-down policies dictated my life resonated much more with my experience of school than my life later in the work force
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job

Your cat, in the middle of the workday, will be like "I have a very important message to show you in the Secret Other Room" and then when you finally follow him to the other room, the message is "I am a cat"

For no reason, I am thinking of my grandmother's dad, who died during a shift at the factory 100 years ago.
He was emaciated and so sick he couldn't speak, but he still had to go to work. They found him in the bathroom, "lying in an immense pool of blood which was welling from his mouth and nose."

You need to be building out capacity. You need to be buying manufacturing equipment (incl desktop manufacturing such as 3d printers and cnc) and stockpiling raw material. You need to be capacitymaxxing and sufficiency-pilled.

Senate Democratic leadership essentially played dead today and greenlit the Trump-Musk-Vance coup. What is the point of the Democratic Party if it doesn't actually act like an opposition party? Hello?

Now House Republicans have voted to wipe out the guardrails that Congress wrote for how to spend taxpayer money. Trump and Musk could hold everyone under their magic spell—spend or shut off taxpayer money however they want.
Absolutely not. I’m fighting back.

"Thou'rt none of my brother, Lazarus,
That lies begging at my door;
Nor meat nor drink will I give to thee,
Nor bestow upon the poor."
[...]
Then Dives looked with burning eyes,
And saw poor Lazarus blest;
"One drop of water, Lazarus,
To quench my flaming thirst!"
That lies begging at my door;
Nor meat nor drink will I give to thee,
Nor bestow upon the poor."
[...]
Then Dives looked with burning eyes,
And saw poor Lazarus blest;
