I am a normal box. Come closer.
Google advertising has been so confused by my shenanigans that it thinks I live in Colorado and enjoy hunting, neither of which is true.

It’s been a while but IIRC, during the Palmer Raids against radicals (1919-20), the resident aliens who were caught were all shipped off to Russia — even if they weren’t from there.

Hey, remember that time Pat Robertson literally pushed the absurd, racist conspiracy that the Haitians “made a deal with the Devil” to overthrow their French enslavers? I feel like that’s relevant to current events

one of my more cantankerous positions is that any "hey, that comes with the job" takes are trash. if I'm a dishwasher what comes with the job is I wash dishes. if I'm a musician what comes with the job is I make music. expectations beyond the actual work are optional on the worker's end, the end.
The lukewarmest of takes here, but I'm so unimpressed with Chappell Roan SUPERFANS who think she should be okay with stalking, public groping, etc., because they're "part of the job."

So was leaving a limb or two behind on the factory floor, but then we decided working conditions could improve!

“Work fast and break things” is hot garbage.

The fact that this logic still so pervasive in tech companies, when the work we do affects the entire human population, is an embarrassment

Honestly if that surprises you at this point I have some wonderful bridges for sale, for a very low price. The only sad thing about it is how many people are still getting duped by it.

Segregation was legal. Slavery was legal. Legal evil is still evil and we as Americans have a duty not just to resist but break immoral and evil laws.

If gay marriage had been legal and socially acceptable during the medieval and early modern periods the Hapsburgs would have found a way to use it for political gain.

Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

It’s NFTs and Crypto all over again.

It’s not about what the Tech is currently worth. It’s about what it could be worth in the future.

It’s just the new buzzword for techno-circlejerkers to bet their life savings on.
And every time you point out that it's utter shit and derail their sale pitch, they pivot to "Oh but in 5 years it will be SO AMAZING!!!"
