The massacre of the ethics/safety teams and the internal reorientation away from anything that hinted at broader purpose (with exception for the more profitable bits of natsec) is a story that has yet to be properly told.
there was an incredibly stark change at my job between 2023 and 2025. just absolutely day and night.
i dont think there’s ever been a point where corporate america has had a sincere sense of morality but it is probably a sign of the times that the culture at most major firms does not even pretend to encourage ethical behavior anymore. the transformation is really stark in tech.

This reminds me that I've nominated the Taymor-directed film Frida for the National Film Registry, and will do so again if they don't add it this year. The Library of Congress is currently taking nominations for the 2026 Registry selections: www.research.net/r/national-f...

Just thinking about it, it's funny how many comic creators' names sound like characters from Westerns. John Wagner, Jack Kirby, Steve Dillon, Frank Miller, John Byrne, Fletcher Hanks, John McRea, Ramon Villalobos

Centrist Democrats in the Senate folded on the shutdown, throwing away their leverage in exchange for worthless GOP promises.
When will they learn that there is no center between a government of oligarchs and a government of the people? https://youtu.be/EQzG_TrhyrY?si=LBXGJad9NjGyBGBo

i can’t quite explain it but “standing up as opposition doesn’t work” doesn’t seem like good optics for an opposition party to have

like most adaptations of classic works, Frankenstein (2025) was kinda doomed to be a disappointment for folks because they are not just going to compare it to one of two published versions of the story, but their personal interpretation of an antique text

Hey, I know the shut down is technically over but if you’ve got the time or money, please keep helping the food banks. It’s going to be really rough heading into Thanksgiving and Christmas after the double hit of SNAP recipients and Federal workers needing help. ❤️

It is genuinely fucking upsetting that ten years after Ireland voted in a landslide for equal marriage, we're watching the US barely hang on to it by their fingertips. Progress should not be a zero sum game.

A Dem senator had one (1) flight canceled and decided to give into Republican demands and re-open the government. That's exactly what happened.
not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.
Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.
