Respect is earned? Can't be.

Respect is lost? Absolutely.

We need to start with a baseline of respect for people, and let them show us if they deserve to lose it.

BASH: One of the concerns is that Elon Musk has billions tied up in govt contracts. You don't see a conflict of interest?

CHRIS SUNUNU: Everyone has a conflict of interest

BASH: But that's a pretty big one

SUNUNU: He's so rich he's removed from the potential financial influence

Could we declare a moratorium on posting screenshots of charts without providing a way to see their source? I’m fully prepared to rage about this proposal but I’d like to know where my anger fuel is coming from.

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired.
History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.

I am a full 38 years old and just found out that the starburst in the pink wrappers are NOT pink lemonade but strawberry.

No I didn't read the wrapper for 30 years and yes they're still trash.

The usual suspects are out there yelling "There are 23 million government workers! Fire most of them!" No awareness that most work for local governments, and most of *them* are schoolteachers. Federal employment hasn't grown since the 1950s

Min-HyeokYang scores the only goal for Gangwoon in their K League playoff win.

Idk anything about the K League but he was easily the best player all match.

Btw he's 18 and comes to Spurs in January.

HITC Sevens is the best football youtuber for me because he discusses football as something that is tethered to the external world, not one that exists in a vacuum.

Also: If you don't have money to buy my (or anyone's) books, and you live in the anglosphere, before you pirate them, try to get them from your local library instead. They have it or can get it, they pay for the books, and in many places writers get paid for their books being lent. Everyone wins!

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

For those who've seen Lightyear:

Our youngest was born Sat and our almost 3 y/o (next youngest) came to visit us in the hospital.

When the 3y/o saw the baby, his eyes lit up and he wanted to hold her. I sat with him while he did, and then he did "to infinity and beyond" with her

Still crying

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

When you ADHD too close to the sun, and decide that the few minutes in between meetings is the time to build that bookshelf you bought but hadn't put together yet, which leads to removing all the furniture in your office and completely reorganizing it and the furniture placement.
