What corporate America says: “No one wants to work anymore.”

The truth: No one wants to be exploited anymore.

From today's grumbling:

"Everything is a DDOS if you don't work in security. Teams down? DDOS. Can't find the video you want on your fav NSFW site? DDOS. Virus? DDOS. Internet slow? DDOS. Actual DDOS? 'Why is our akamai bill so large?'"

Why are banks allowed to have shareholders at all? Doing so only serves to privatize the gains, and then, when a bank goes too far in maximizing shareholder returns, socialize the losses.

I'm feeling disagreeable so here goes:

I think the narrative that "Silicon Valley broke its own bank and it's another example of how tech is broken" is complete hokum, and exonerates the actual villains here.

Bank runs happen all the time.

They are what happen when you have insufficient bank regulation.

The bipartisan bill of 2018 that let SVB dodge good banking rules is the actual problem here.

This is not a tech issue, it's a banking one.

“Cancelling” isn’t real because if you’re getting “cancelled” you are just being criticized for being a dick. And what is criticism but being a dick to someone. So people are being dicks to you because you were a dick. How can you, as a dick, be mad about people being dicks? And to be a dick to them about being a dick to you about you being a dick in the first place. You’re still the Founding Dick of the situation, it’s time to just mitigate the dickishness and it starts in the mirror buddy

@coleens_ @nuintari I'm going to be teaching them BGP, OSPF, RIP, and EIGRP in the coming months so they understand routing tables and how trace and ICMP pathing works for basic tshoot in their days. Subnetting is a huge part of that phase because we are going to do "ISP router setups" where we take both a /30 and /27 and shove it down the path for publication :)

Texas education agency to take over Houston schools - The Washington Post

This is my hometown. They are fucking with my hometown and they have gone TOO FAR. The TX GOP just can’t stand that they are greatly outnumbered in Texas cities— especially the most ethnically diverse of them all: Houston.

Bitch-ass pussy motherfuckers.

FUCK YOU!!!

Chait has often criticized the anti-democratic radicalization of the Right. But he is very much on board with the idea that the forces of “woke” radicalism have been allowed to advance too far. Therefore, if the rightwing project is presented in anti-“woke” terms, he will defend it.

In a first, scientists have seen direct evidence of active volcanism on Venus. They made the discovery after poring over archival radar images taken in the 1990s by NASA’s Magellan mission.

I didn't know how bad it was. Apparently state governments have been stealing TANF, federal money for the poor, and hoarding it by the billions or horribly misusing it. (Or giving it to Bret Favre). And they've been doing this is a huge blatant way. John Oliver explains how amazingly blatant and hypocritical it is.

Okay, so, I just found out that I'm being laid off. My department is being completely dissolved.

I'm really sad, because I was doing full remote data entry, and I've never been happier with a job in my life. My mental health has never been better, either.

So, can anyone point me towards a fully-remote position that involves working with data, not phones? I swear, I'm super qualified and really good at this. I work hard, and I'm dependable.
