Can't make Gladio B obvious, man

Reporter, being an access journalist, continues to lick boots.

You git your 'pinions where you git your cornpone. Any dissent with this will get you fired. Those who wish to work with people you disagree with like this must learn stoicism and forbearance with regard to vocalizing your feelings. That said, it is understandable that a group of people (techies) who experienced mostly ostracism in their lives growing up might be upset when told they're privileged oppressors.

But what about muh free speech?

Never existed. Never will. The law of the jungle is the only law, ever. Let none tell you otherwise and you will understand the Riddle of Steel.

BONUS: Slate Star's take. Relevant excerpt:

This is the world we’ve built. Where making people live in fear is a feature, not a bug.

It doesn’t have to be this way. Nobody has any real policy disagreements. Everyone can just agree that men and women are equal, that they both have the same rights, that nobody should face harassment or discrimination. We can relax the Permanent State Of Emergency around too few women in tech, and admit that women have the right to go into whatever field they want, and that if they want to go off and be 80% of veterinarians and 74% of forensic scientists, those careers seem good too. We can appreciate the contributions of existing women in tech, make sure the door is open for any new ones who want to join, and start treating each other as human beings again. Your co-worker could just be your co-worker, not a potential Nazi to be assaulted or a potential Stalinist who’s going to rat on you. Your project manager could just be your project manager, not the person tasked with monitoring you for signs of thoughtcrime. Your female co-worker could just be your female co-worker, not a Badass Grrl Coder Who Overcomes Adversity. Your male co-worker could just be your male co-worker, not a Tool Of The Patriarchy Who Denies His Complicity In Oppression. I promise there are industries like this. Medicine is like this! Loads of things are like this! Lots of tech companies are even still like this! This could be you.

In summary, read the book We for how the Gramiscian kafkatrapping future turns out.

Expect light posting if any this week.

Damn.

Wonderful news. The child is a miracle. Was dead for 2 hours and came back.

Still painfully un-hip, however

The old crown prince was weakened by an assasination attempt, and the hyenas descended.

Amazing. What is this guy's angle? Aside from being delusional and believing himself to be Jove, that is...

Very Progressive

no shit -- the ring of gyges corrupts the mind??? who'da thunk.

Truly unusually mild market this year.

A thing that should go without saying

Well, there goes Minsk II. Surprised it took them this long.

Old habits are tough to break.

Should play with the MAGA crowd

and gets away with it.

Gotta run things further into the ground

Bozos don't mention the spheromak, because it works and that means ITER is an enormous waste of money.

More crap in the name of saaaaafety that literally kills poor people.

E.G. not well short of levelling the place.

A-OK to micromanage who and how you sell your property. More of the same old shit, but with a new twist:

If the state can wipe out pre-existing rights simply by issuing a later ordinance, and thereby escape the requirements of the Takings Clause, that [Fifth Amendment] guarantee is a dead letter.

Basically the doctrine of cancellation -- whatever we think now is right.

I always thought the pulling of the product as premature. Who cares about the opprobrium -- this is coming whether they like it or not. Glad it's used as a checklisting tool.

The hippie plague is about to get even more unbearable if so.
