quick reminder: Democrats have had control of house, senate, white house exactly 4 months of the last 44 years. There’s been little opportunity for the ‘fight back’ part where they fight for democracy when most of their time is undoing the absolute worst of the fascists’ hate-ball of regulations. THAT’s the exhausting part.

Prince in his post said Pietsch’s dismissal wasn’t “anywhere close to perfect,” and that the company will learn from its missteps.

Will they, though?

Not voting is a conservative ploy. It’s their best chance.

The process of evolving your leadership remains the same:

1. pick the least-worse option, based on who can realize goals they’re pitching that actually help people.

2. repeat step 1 every election.

Since the conservatives in my country have no platform other than “My opponent is terrible!” they should be disqualified … but aren’t.

As long as we understand a vote for Biden is the only vote NOT for Trump, it’s all good.

Get out. You’re fired.

Proof-read your writing; even when writing titles.

Sad commentary when your company’s chatbot is more humane than the rest of the company … and fired for it.

You wanna know what to put in place of one of those installed-in-1952 civil war statues they tore down?

Put this. Entitle it “tyranny will bend the backs of the strong. Let freedom ring.”

This would be a handy way to get rid of half your staff, but the people you chase away are usually the ones you want to keep. As per the Dead-Sea Effect, the ones who will leave are the ones who generally are more able to, who will be your most employable people, and thus your most talented. Usually.

Making work suck, and letting the best half of the staff bail, seems like stupid and a game show.

I’ve installed a lot of software.

Not once did I give a fleeting fuck about the meat around the brain who made it.

Nice brain, though. THANKS, BRAIN!!
