Welcome to the jungle
Our work week's just 4 days
And everyone gets medical
Plus a good 401K
And if you are harrassed
In any way sexually
HR will get on top of that
With confidentiality
In the jungle
Welcome to the jungle
My... My... My employee
Oooh
We hope you will succeed!

Comic artists get treated like garbage.
Miles Morales co-creator Sara Pichelli says she does not get any royalties from the ‘Spider-Verse’ films, Insomniac games, or merch

"I don’t get anything … that's the saddest part of my life"

discussed this in seminar yesterday, albeit with reference to “race science” generally. If you understand science as a historical phenomenon then the question is what was science then, not whether it would count as science now, and the implication is that what science is now is not forever, either
1. Historically, eugenics was not a pseudoscience. It was *science* Almost every scientist, social scientist, academic, etc. believed in the validity of eugenics. You would have to search far & wide to find a scientist that didn't believe in some form of it. They taught it in college!

Accusing people with long Covid or other invisible illnesses of having "Munchausen syndrome" & using terms like this to deny someone's real suffering is emotional abuse

I'm starting to see jobs out there for 'humanties experts' to train AI systems. I know we all need work, but don't do it.

Why the “immunity debt” narrative ultimately collapsed:

Over the past few months, the conversation has moved toward the conclusion the evidence has been pointing to for years.

Since 2022, immunity debt offered an easy explanation for the unusual patterns of illness we kept seeing.

Nur 0,38 Prozent aller Bürgergeldbeziehenden wurden im Jahr 2024 sanktioniert, weil sie eine Arbeit oder Maßnahme abgelehnt haben.

Das passiert also fast nie.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

so many of the small indignities of daily life come from us being denied the ability to tell a rich man in a tech company to fuck off. minesweeper has microtransactions. paid services have ads. the opt out says maybe later. the drive thru is a broken chatbot. your car is an ipad. fuck off! fuck off!
