if your boss says “you should focus on work-life calibration, rather than work-life balance”, run for the fucking hills.
jobs will never, ever, ever love you back no matter how fulfilling they are; and when you’re facing the immortal wall of silent howling darkness that is death, I promise you won’t be thinking about all the work you did — you’ll be wishing you could re-experience some little sensory moment from life one last time before the gaping maw of incomprehensible blackness and silence takes you far away.

"All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."

Tricky little birds to photograph in flight, as they're so quick and like to change direction frequently.

Playing along with "drop a pick you took from a #train" on Erfurt. Here's a photo with a history story.
This is from Erfurt, Germany, March 2019. This hotel is right across from the station.
The sign reads, "Willy Brandt ans Fenster" ["Will Brandt at the window"]. What an odd sign!
Germans know the story, but for just about everyone else, the story is here: https://www.britannica.com/video/180274/Willy-Brandt-West-German-East-Germany-1970
Again:
The earth is literally on fire, we're surrounded by chud nazis who seem to have all the power, and billionaire supervillains are talking about replacing us all with billions of "artificial minds" after they run to Mars.
It's not fine. You were wrong. Sucking boot for this system didn't get you anything but a hot watery grave. Everything they told you was a lie and I know I'm right because mutherfucker?
SCOREBOARD.
When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace.

DeSantis can’t stop shooting Florida in the foot
Florida passed SB 1718 allowing undocumented immigrants in the state to be targeted because…reasons
Truckers are calling for a boycott of Florida. This is huge.
"Truckers, don't enter the state of Florida. Let's be united as Latinos in defense of our Latin American brothers who are being assaulted by this very stupid law, which incites hatred and discrimination...My truck won't move. Don't enter Florida. Nobody enter Florida."
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
