White Male Loneliness Is by Design
Your isolation is not accidental. Itβs intentional.
A client of mine recently attended two international tech conferences and reached out to share his experience.
The first, he said, was βstatus quo white dudes and a handful of women.β The second, Mozilla Festival, felt completely different:

Yes! And let gifted communicators do what they do. I think of @jasmineforus.bsky.social comparing NATO membership to going to grade school with your cousins. Bullies are less likely to pick on you on the playground if they know your cousins are there to back you up. Relatable and brilliant.

I love this idea. Also, I think there are a lot of normies (myself included) who don't totally understand what economists do, so the more crossover between fields the better. People don't always understand the intricacies of economic data, and I think this would help.

I love that People magazine is the first mainstream organization I've seen to lay this out clearly.

If do they have one, they're going to lose it while they are biking. It's what kids do. And what kids shouldn't have to do is get threatened by rent-a-cops who are drunk on power.

So many questions. Do they just see swastikas everywhere and think it's normal? Do they not know that the reports also included pictures of it displayed in a congressional office? Do coworkers walk by it and not say anything? Is the "mysterious group" in the room with them right now?

This looks more like an excuse to surveil anyone they choose. That aside, I have a copy editing question: when the word "antifa" is used to refer to an organization, should it be referred to in quotes since it doesn't exist as an organization?

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. Iβm doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found.
That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.
