Part of the Nazi Germany analogy is the reality of how the people who thought they were in the same class and access of Nazis .. pretending nothing was happening Until it affected them And then rewriting history

Dems coming out with condolences to Graham faster than a plan about protecting voting rights is exactly why they keep losing
The thing about all these employers rehiring after AI-misfires—they still haven't learned They're still not hiring responsibly They're still no better at role creation or maintenance They're still not prioritizing employee needs You're still the only one looking out for your long-term well-being
Everybody is gonna be mad at me Because 1) this is why “I hate Trump” sucks as a Shibboleth 2) Dems , Libs and Radicals are terrible national communicators , have abandoned helping FACILITATE national convos and this is why they are prey to this 3) yes this about our acceptance of bigotry
A new round of Federal Election Commission filings confirmed Democrats’ suspicions that Lead Left PAC, Real Change PAC and Blue California PAC were purposefully boosting candidates perceived as weaker contenders in a general election in hopes of engineering more favorable matchups for Republicans.

These people take absolutely zero responsibility for people’s well being. Never forget that.
'We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security' is an extraordinary thing for a video games CEO to say on record: aftermath.site/video-game-job...
We’re a country built by European Monarchy in Native genocide, chattel slavery and That’s the business model for those three until folks started rising up
ok so everyone knows the president is a child rapist and is just letting things continue
Reminder that you can put “-ai” at the end of Google searches to eliminate the AI overview
It doesn’t even matter at this point … they want this they like this and until this stops being preferred by so many people and systems We’re just in an experiment of seeing how far this will go
“You have to face the fact that the whole problem is really the Blacks,” the president told his chief of staff. “The key is to devise a system that recognizes this while not appearing to.”
Most of those kids got expelled . Not just by the schools but also by the groups that claimed to support them . A LARGE chunk of them are still protesting they just aren’t being covered. There’s now a 5k-10k protest in some form everyweek And even if those people exist WHAT ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE
I don’t observe time changes…completely ignore them. I use the sun as a guide and adjust as needed.
Entrepreneurial tangent… I’m highly wary working with people who prefer working with people/things that can’t say no. Hearing, processing, and navigating “no” is an exercise in growth and maturity. Anyone seeing to eliminate that? Suspect. Deeply.
So… I've been writing for about 18 years on the idea that if you somehow manage to make meaningfully conscious machine minds & then you treat them as tools, then you're enslaving those minds, and that's pretty messed up. And this ties into something else I've re-upped recently: LLMs can't say "No."
I know we’re in rough times cuz I got established white men hitting me up for career and indie/freelance advice 🫠 The layoffs in my world have been bad…but the worst part is how disruptive they’ve been “I can’t put myself or my family through this again”…
And remember the solution of DEI didn’t actually do much but ask that folks have enough actual representation to make things run smoothly and grant other options So when white people talk about oligarchs they always leave out how fighting racism is fighting oligarchy
Why I went freelance and into consulting One of my professors from waaaaaay back warned us this is the *default* for most workplaces, so be ready to get out
It is always “listen to Black women” until we want to be in charge or go for that job… quickly turn to …oh no that’s not what we meant.. you just don’t fit into that JOB… we want your ideas.. time and energy.. that’s all..
The rank of “billionaires” having a whole class to abuse isn’t new. That’s slavery and if someone is writing about America and ignores slavery.. They’re just bad at their job . It’s no longer cute They are fundamentally choosing to give you bad information

If there’s anything I’ve made a bad call about in life it’s how much I thought I’d like a corporate job I was…so wrong😩
rather than talk about Scott Adams I want to talk about something weirder (me). Who else was really into Dilbert when you were 12. Who else was like, boy, I can't wait to work a cubicle job
Just once in my life I want folks to set up standards so they stop wasting time. Someone who’d turn on trans kids and gleefully break up encampments isn’t gonna “be good” And stop sacrificing people to find out
Gov. Gavin Newsom of California vowed to block a tax on billionaires, saying that a ballot proposal has already scared off tech leaders.

Never occurred to me before, but this is basically forcing master data management duties all the way out to the customer. Bc there's so many people in the last mile, none of them have the whole picture, and they're all trying to build walled ecosystems.
Unfortunately / Fortunately I am a really large Black woman so I’m not shocked by all of these “intellectuals” wilding out They talked to me and other Black women brazy in public for a while We’ve been telling you about these folks for years

We won’t make any sustainable progress against fascism in the US until we deal with the significant overlap with corporate structures and corporate culture. Most people’s conditioning to accept and defend fascism in this country starts there…so political reactions are already reflexive.
I don’t care how much you hate Trump or how hard you voted for Kamala . If you aren’t examining your anti Blackness and anti immigrant and anti queer behavior ? You aren’t doing what you need to A lot of people have ridden this trauma into money and platforms with no reflection
Antivaxxers like RFK Jr love to cherry pick policies from countries like Denmark so they can falsely justify reducing vaccines in the US, while ignoring context. If they really wanted to learn effective health policy from Denmark, they would be pushing for universal single-payer healthcare.
