Movies. Music. And Mayhem.
When life gets tough, take a nap.
Lin-Manuel and Mike Elizondo ate on Encanto.

Production is just amazing but the writing too is perfect. The characters and how they share their turmoils in the face of their responsibilities and obligations to the Madrigal family is just so well done.

If you watch The Help, which I don’t really recommend, and imagine one of those Black women are your grandmother or great grandmother, it’s makes the film even more offensive.

Just know Ms. Minny, you always have a job here as our help , raising our kids over your now, cooking for us over your own.

It only took them 12 months to build massive concentration camps all over the USA. You’d think there would be more uproar, but no. No one cares unless it’s in their backyard.

I saw Goat.

I have thoughts.
But overall, I enjoyed it.

“Where are the energy bills up?”

Do you Reddit?

Do you Nextdoor?

Do you actually pay any energy bills?

You just be YouTubing, tik toking, and 🦊🗞️ing, huh?

5 job switches in 7 years is wild.

I’ll never forget how J Cole fans acted like Kendrick didn’t do anything great during that beef and following it literally up until last weekend.

So to see them do all this over Cole’s new album is how I know I have no reason to listen to it.

But yall enjoy. I’m happy for yall.

LinkedIn is plagued with a bunch of no professional or production environment experience overloaded with certifications and a propensity for job hopping.

And people wonder why these layoffs are looking extra crazy right now.

A lot of it is, most of it, is greed from billionaires for sure.

So now I’m being patient. Taking my time to get it right.

I was ready to take a pay cut.

Now I’m thinking of all the stuff I can do for my family as soon as I lock in my new home.

I’m also excited to be around fresh faces in a fresh environment. That new car smell life.

I was ready to leave IT and start over in something else.

And that could still happen.

But the feeling of that being the only option left has passed.

And I’m thankful because I’m good at this shit. I hated feeling like I don’t have any options left in something I’m just naturally good at doing.

I just pray I make the right decision. Becasue one thing that stood out to every one I’ve spoke to about a position is my long term commitment to all the places I’ve worked.

I don’t job hop. It seems that’s rare now. People want people who they feel will stay on long enough to build real value.

So now I have new problems. Do I relocate if offered enough?

Do I take the job that gives me a leg up in this area and access to jobs others won’t have meaning more pay in the long term?

Do I take the job that puts me in a more leadership role, a more architect role?

Do I take the DC elites job?

I couldn’t get my resume into a recruiter’s hands for over a year. Pure struggle. Kept giving up and then trying again. Same types of jobs and nothing.

In the last week or so I’ve had multiple interviews and I’m still getting messages from recruiters to set up calls and interviews.

Stop asking why virtual learning wasn’t in place for grade schools for this snow storm.

THEY DONT HAVE THE FUNDS OR THE PEOPLE TO SUPPORT IT!

Websites don’t run themselves. CMS systems don’t maintain/operate themselves. Who’s managing the tech operations? WHO?! Who’s managing laptops/devices?

To lie and say you were podcasting before Combat Jack is a real POS move. RIP a real podcast founder and legend.

If you don’t get why saying “immigrants BUILT this country” is a problem, then I’m sure you also never got why non-white / POC wasn’t a good replacement or substitute for Black people.

The scary part about AI is that it’s not AI. So it can’t even remember how it did what it did and recreate the exact same thing again at times. For a mass information system to be unable to cache its own information in its system is WIIIILLLDDDDDD!!!!!

I’ve experienced this with copilot and cgpt

What is the deal with us taking out our anger and frustrations on people similarly affected by these current situations who also have just as much power and control as us over them and the outcomes?

How long are we going to collectively continue to be this conveniently stupid?

Parents are mad at the schools for being delayed or closed. What’s your solution to all the snow NOT being handled yet in certain areas preventing staff and kids from being able to safely get to and from school?

Are you angry because you have to work? Well be mad at your jobs and govt then.
