Re: Quitting my job today

We're also only now truly digesting what a disaster Covid was for development, of both "soft" and "hard" skills. The entire cohort of lawyers who had 0-4 years of experience going into Covid are now grossly overpaid (and thus their rates way out of whack) with reference to their ...

Re: Chiefs Offseason 2024

Ravens and Bengals (both at home) is a hell of a way to start the season. Go 2-0 there and you're in complete control of the race for the #1 seed - which (based on last year) is very very very obviously something that is quite important to get. You can't at all otherwise count on being in that sweet...

Re: We Lost the Battle for the Republican Party’s Soul Long Ago

While the GOP pols who see fit to kiss the ring are a dubious collection of easily mocked figures, watching the “law and order” and “faith-based” party kneel before a criminal defendant in a case involving a porn star no less is another marker of how far things have fallen. https://x.com/tpm_dk/sta...

Re: 2024

Serious question: Is it better to be an activist, or to be a protestor? Consider how those in power do really nothing to earn our votes, but are trying so doggedly to counter these protests. Trying to decide if that says something about where we should concentrate our political energy. Making absol...

Not being scanned and treated like a product for insanely marked up services instead of a patient? I prefer the alternative but perhaps it's just me.
