Hey, just an aside - please don’t feel like you have to follow me because I followed you - you don’t, this isn’t a trade.
That’s it. I could probably discuss more about why I “follow” people1️⃣, but that’s just really subtext.

I feel like it is very hard to function on a daily basis if you think too hard about how many things in the US are completely falling apart and/or actively being destroyed right now, which is one upside to being recently laid off

I really think that even most people who think language policing was a huge problem over the past 5-10 years have no patience for the disgusting little freaks who have tried to bring back "retarded" as a slur. It's just so low-rent and such a tell that the person using it is not worth your time

It’s really being used heavily these days as a call-and-response for shitty people; just a quick test to see if you’re dealing with someone who is equally fed up with the expectation that you treat human beings with basic courtesy.

I can buy the argument that we shouldn’t blame the Trump administration for letting in the guy who committed the shootings. I have a harder time with the argument that the Biden administration is to blame for the Trump administration letting in the guy who committed the shootings.

I’d love tech CEOs to stick to a lane. Either AI makes workers so much more productive that they need to do layoffs or there’s so few workers in place that everyone needs to work nights and weekends.
Now it just seems layoffs are happening for economic reasons with AI as a convenient cover story.

there's a story that squares these, which is that AI lets individual employees lever up in a way that makes them super productive but also super difficult to substitute for, so you need them working all the time and if they ever leave you're screwed.

it's important for children to learn about deep time, the inevitability of loss, and the end of all things.
If you loved THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE, then you'll love its action-packed sequel, PRINCE CASPIAN! The Pevensie children are back, even Edmund, but what about all your favorite friends: Mr. Tumnus, the Beavers, the friendly giant? Well, they've been dead for a thousand years. Sorry.
