We have been under attack (since at least 1971, see "Lewis Powell letter") by our "own leadership".

To quote the estimable Samuel L. Jackson: "WAKE THE F*** UP!"

"Tech people" is too broad.

With few exceptions, we recognize that life, very much including "tech", is a team sport. And we work accordingly. You do NOT want to screw over your coworkers in our world.

-- a tech worker

Russian roulette on an international scale. Hundreds of thousands of lives wasted, no end in sight.

It is unknown how dangerous Putin's megalomania is. I wonder whether anyone does.

We do have perfect knowledge of the danger of powerful megalomaniacs.

Apply that knowledge right here right now.

500 thousand children of 500 thousand mother who birthed and loved them, sent to slaughter for one megalomaniac’s tyrannical ideal- should make everyone stop and think about why they want democracy.

MAGA "leaders" get a double win:

Those without savings forced to beg for whatever scraps of care they can get. And be grateful.

Those with savings can have their life savings sucked into the pockets of the executive class. And then be stuck begging for help.

Brilliantly evil.

Half agreed: Stephen Miller is a looney tune.

But He knows EXACTLY what he is doing, pushing his partisans off into the deep end with his lies.

...Forgot to mention...

Running a privately owned business (shop, farm, distillery, etc.) was always legal and common practice.

It's corporations with publicly traded stock amd limited liability that had the benefits and responsibilities of corporate status.

At our founding, a "corporation" was *allowed to exist* if and only if it had a corporate charter defining its public benefits in a documented way.

The PRIVILEGE of limited liability (only for passive investors!) was balanced by government enforced responsibility.

Stripped away, decade by decade.

I agree, that word lacks clear, specific meaning, and should be used sparingly.

That said it is used commonly in colloquial language. "Powerful" is also implied in advertisements by large organizations, often I believe dishonestly.

And it is used twice in the EMACS talk page headers. :-)

Yes! I was planning to write exactly that!

Every accusation is an admission.

Here is why: The motherless bastards are so deeply, culturally self centered that they are certain *everyone* is just like them, ready to steal everyone blind as they are doing right now.

Despite clear contrary evidence disproving that claim.

Yes. "Conservative leaders" understand damned well that one's biology is nearly impossible to change.

One cannot be turned to gay or trans just like one cannot be turned "straight".

They know this: They cannot control their own urges.

Versus those who accept reality and behave responsibly.

Yes. We have the relentless threat of job loss or illness (and resulting job loss).

That relentless tension produces a focus on safety instead of creativity, productivity, etc.

Many Americans are "backed into a corner" in an unproductive defensive posture.

Our "leaders" use that against us.

Thanks for the points about local search vs centralization.

Providers' focus on "cloud services" and centralization are a siren call (as in Homer's Oddyssey), offering "powerful services" but saying absolutely nothimg about the control it gives them.

I came away from business trips to Germany annd France with several observations: The Europeans that I met were confident, productive, competitive (in the good sense of creativity and diligence).

Above all though, the lesson was subtle but powerful: They know how to Live.

I read once that David Byrne became tired of fans wanting songs about "teenage angst".

I believe his audience was attracted to The Talking Heads' brilliantly creative, unique view of the world, and building amazing music around that P.O.V.

But I could be wrong...

Young people cannot resist dangerous challenges.

My mother did similarly crazy stuff, namely "walking the third rail" in the New York subway system. 440 volts (I think). One mis-step, and BOOM.

Ctenophores, also known as comb jellies, do not sting.

And they are wonderful to interact with day or night. In daylight, it's possible to see signals traverse their bodies.

At night they glow beautifully.

I (68 year old guy) see those bangs and general style as a willful choice to appear youthful, perky, etc. etc., to sneak serious messaging past perceptual filters.

Can someone who looks and sounds like that sneak into a position to do some good?

She seems to be standing up to MAGA.

Research pychologists have documented clear links between cruelty toward animals and violent behavior in adulthood.

What we are seeing now is their ascent to power, with what are now obvious consequences.

I admit to a total failure to understand how such pathology is possible.

In school I stood with the other students, reciting the pledge of allegiance.

I was always aware that it was aspirational, and not yet achieved. (Approximately 1961-1967)

"American Exceptionalism" was real, though weak. Back then at least a lot of us were trying.

Stehpen Miller as "Human middle finger".....

Jimmy Kimmel is half right.

Anyone who ever declared fealty to The Drug cartel by voting on the "D" ballot in a party primary election will be presumed guilty of supporting the "D"rug cartel party and will be detained on being discovered in a public space.

Being a Drug cartel member is reason to deny "due process".

Through most of my childhood, I wished for a cloak of invisibility.

Many decades later, I learn that I was barking up the wrong tree, it's a *pebble* of invisibility!

RPi SBC delivers temp/humidity reports to my workstation without either system requiring restarts; the HomeAssistant server runs continuously.

Servers in our server farm have multi-year uptimes, serving web apps with multi-Gbyte database backends.

Reliability is achievable.

Dr. Goodall had the courage to begin a conversation about "animal" awareness at a time when that perspective was very very risky for an academic / research career.

Huge respect for a genuine leader.

To the best of my knowledge, we are a serious country "led" by VERY serious people, particularly jdvance and his cohort of very very serious thieving insurrectionist revolutionaries intent on taking our country away from us.

Not a new plan. First documented in the Lewis Powell Memo in 1971.

Yes.

For me, Pink Floyd's "Animals" is the theme of my adult life from a "leadership" perspective.

I saw it begin during Reagan's term.

"It's too late to lose the weight you used to throw around

So have a good drown, as you go down, dragged down by the stone"

For me the best guitar solo ever.

But alas, not corporate TV.

Once upon a time, we were customers. Now we are the product.
