Hi new followers, I’m Doug and this is a picture of me standing slack-jawed in my kitchen pointing at my I voted sticker like a virtue-signaling jackass. Look at me look at me I did the bare minimum!
Anyway, I thought I’d say a bit about what you might expect from following me, besides sarcasm…

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

If you can only be a man because women are disenfranchised and devalued, then the mere progression toward equality threatens your sense of “manhood.” If you strip away that false sense of superiority, what are you without that? Are you as strong, or as smart or as capable as you thought you were?

I gave the closing keynote at posit::conf in September and it's available to watch. When you find yourself giving a talk with a little tiny microphone stuck to the side of your head you have to ask yourself some hard questions, but the talk was partly about that.

I’m so fucking sick of hearing about men who can’t figure out how to “be a man” without being a shitbag. Plenty of us out here managing it just fine, stop putting society’s biggest fucking losers at the center of everything. Maybe these guys are getting left behind BECAUSE THEY FUCKING SUCK AT LIFE

Two-thirds of Democrats say their own party makes them feel frustrated. By far the most commonly cited reason is that the party is not pushing back hard enough against Trump. www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Uninstall Grammarly NOW. They've partnered with an AI company and actively scrape your writing to train its models.
HEAD'S UP FELLOW #CREATIVES!
If you haven't heard, #Grammarly is changing...and one change that doesn't pass the smell test is the incorporation of the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine that is #AI. 😒

With all the excitement about the election I don’t want this story to get lost. This morning 8 car wash workers in Boston were kidnapped by federal agents in the largest workplace raid in the area in recent memory.
The details are horrifying.
