For the past several days and weeks, rumors have swirled about massive layoffs coming. Eventually we found out the date: this morning, 11/20.

Thankfully, I have survived for another day, but our org was hit massively. It won't be the same going forward. #verizonlayoffs

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

I always struggle to feel bad when someone who spent their life seething with hatred towards so many others, including people like me.

I will not be nice merely because they are no longer with the living.

At best, I feel bad for those in their orbit who are dealing with the aftermath.

James Dobson, Focus on the Family founder and key leader on the Christian right, dies at 89

Good riddance to bad rubbish. I cannot feel sorry for someone who brought such incalculable pain to too many people while he lived.

If Hell was real, he'd be there now.

I know the common adage was "Republicans say there is no good government, and when elected they prove it", but they're really jacking it up to 11.

I get there's a chance to counter next year, but... I'm not sure we'll make it, or in what shape.

I'm not giving up, yet. It's just a lot going on rn.

Happy birthday, America. Let's see how long we can keep going, hmm?

A conversation in Discord led me to think about my grandma, who passed away (several years ago at this point) while affected by Alzheimer's.

It's such a rough life, not just for them, but for those around them. She'd call me her brother (not so bad) but would also forget who my mom was.

I came close to buying into the Iraq War bullshit, mainly because they had Colin Powell selling the lies.

A professor at the time asked me a simple question: why should I accept everything CP says at face value?

Not that he's wrong, but that I shouldn't trust without research.

Changed my life.
If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

My dad passed away just over 12 years ago. We may not have always gotten along, but I still miss him.

Give your dad a hug today, for me, if you can.

Hey folks,

I have a huge request for Pride:

Trevor Project is recruiting for a landmark new study. If you are LGBTQ, in the United States, and between 13-24 or know someone who is, pass this along to them.

Trevor’s research has led to meaningful defenses of queer and trans lives.

Take the survey

I legitimately don't think using generative AI for art can be ethical.

Are there any AI tools that use ethically sourced art for inspiration, e.g., by paying or licensing for it??

Verizon is the latest company to capitulate to the anti-DEI demands coming from the federal government.

While not a surprise, it still hurts. I wonder if their concessions to the Trump admin will be enough. I'm honestly not sure.
