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.

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."

“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.

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.
