A girl has no president. Pro-choice, Pro-Vax, Pro-gressive, Pro-ball. Dog mom. Knitter. Fangirl. Marylander. GenXer. She/Her
I'm in a community choir and then also a women's a capella barbershop-style chorus (sweet Adelines, if you're familiar).

I sing soprano in the community group (SATB) and "lead" (probably most mezzo aligned) in the other.

I will say a few things.

1) I only know what my mom told me and it was colored by her perspective
2) It was YEARS (!!!!!!!) ago

I can validate though that a) she was initially rejected b) they then called her back c) she stayed there until the day she died.

Can't confirm intervening steps

(It was a federal contractor position, and the story gets worse).

Because the "minority" who did get the job wound up being let go and they then came back to my mom and asked if she was still available . . . and so for YEARS in our family it became the old saw about the 'unqualified minority.'

My mom was actually told that . . . it was in the late 80s/early 90s though, so . . .

ALSO, WHILE I'M ON A LARRY SANDERS LEVEL RANT, IF YOU WANT TO GUARANTEE THAT I'M NEVER GOING TO INSTALL YOUR APP . . . MAKE IT THE MOST ANNOYING AD EVER.

THE END

AND AFTER THAT I STILL COULDN'T SAVE THE FILE OF MY RECORDING.

Like I get that app developers need money. FUCKING JUST PRICE YOUR APP AT WHAT IT COSTS.

DON'T HOLD US HOSTAGE TO GET RID OF ANNOYING ADS.

A world where he exists and Rob Reiner no longer does . . .

The biggest irony of all of this is that I absolutely ABHORE "When Harry Met Sally" (but the rest of his movies are bangers - I'm rewatching American President in the background today)

I can't quote verbatim, but I remember the gist - He was not afraid of AI because it was reductive . . . and the good, innovative, and truly moving ideas would always depend on human intelligence.

What a man. What a loss.
