In Vivek 's incredibly stupid mind, would support him if he was "keeping it real". Ramaswamy's sense of is astounding. He think he's the natural and rightful recipient of Em's adulation by virtue of the fact that he likes Em's music. Ipso facto, Em should be all about Ramaswamy. What a fuckin toolbox.

Like, anyone could take any of the MPL licensed code from Hashicorp from a week ago and build a business off of it without paying Hashicorp a penny. That's still an option. Also, it could be forked and dual licensed as GPL and continue on as FOSS, but people think that because they submitted a bug fix under a CLA once, that Hashicorp should maintain a FOSS version for free in perpetuity with paid engineers.

"Britons have become so mean that many of us think poor people donā€™t deserve leisure time"

...says Frances Ryan.

It's the (pulling up the) drawbridge mentality.

The most bewildering experience during the past week: employees of that trumpet about their sense of to be given the benefit of doubt.

The very moment when they try to screw everybody over again, not even bothering to figure out any new scheme for that.

Folks, even your bathroom mirror cringes and cracks when you look at it in the morning, practicing that "trust me" look.

The sense of exhibited by this ass-clown is truly amazing. He's beside himself in self-righteous, fear over the possibility that could show up at his "wholesome" book peddling operations and read to the ! Oh, the humanity! is the worst sort of Christofascist. He's always right because he follows the Bible. And since he's right, everyone else is wrong. That's seriously how this dude goes about his day.

So many items from their ā€™ questionable .

People who do not use headphones when watching videos, talking on the phone, etc., or in this case, video conferencing, will someday occupy a special place in Hell.

So annoying. So very annoying.

(Mind you, if you are on the phone or video conferencing, you need to go some place private anyway. One-sided conversations are also supremely annoying. For that, I have read the science: We are wired to find that particularly psychically disruptive.)

It's always amazing to see entitlement in action. These people are mad at pickleball noise from the tennis courts, which means that they were rarely used. Presumably, they bought near the tennis courts for a reason.

It's the same when people get mad at others for using the community pool or having a holiday party in the park shelter. Somehow some view it as _their_ amenity, despite it being public and their never using it. (NYT gift article)

BTW, I recognize that itā€™s all deliberate, has nothing to do with sensibility and all to do with Itā€™s built in to the fabric of this nation

I celebrate only for the hope we one day grow in to justice

I've always been impressed by JaneFriedman's column, Ask the Editor. This week's post by Allison K. Williams is an utterly frank & rigorous analysis of why a twice professionally edited book hasn't been picked up by agents. And kudos to Jane's follow-up where she nails the writer's assumption that it was because they *aren't* BIPOC.

If youā€™ve inherited or amassed wealth that could sustain hundreds or thousands of lives beyond your own, you unquestionably have something that ā€” in part ā€”belongs to some of your contemporaries.

Is ageism one of the few ways a cisgender Caucasian male can directly experience an ism? One of unavoidable changes of life which shift social identity. Could it be that cisgendered males in power have a hard time living in to this? Lot's of weird behavior from powerful old dudes.

Life tip: If you're complaining to the world on fedi, people try to help, and you respond by mistreating them: you will most likely get blocked, no matter your background. Not everyone has the time to deal with your entitlement.
