  • Another way to be a class traitors or to betray and bully your fellow workers? Call them “technicians”, meaning that their work is boring and doesn’t require them to leave their comfort zone?

    I don’t know what is worse, making people learn how to do computer work in the first place (which is all just insanely ridiculous conventions other supposedly smart humans have invented but which then require ridiculous amounts of training to use effectively), or, pretending that the “ideal” is to build systems which are so self-sufficient that they eliminate any need for human operators or improvers and celebrating that as the ideal.









  • Texas is pure insanity, continues to descend into a corrupt oligarchy, with treats and pardons for allies, and slashing public funding for every other conceivable state service.

    Power outages, from ice storms in winter and >100°F Sahara and Arizona level temperatures for months in a row in summer. Hail storms dropping softball size hail on entire neighborhoods, mine included.

    Migrants continue to get their skulls cracked by border patrol and deported, while cartels operate with near impunity, leaving a headless corpse on an interstate highway for police to try to quietly sweep under the rug every year.

    Meanwhile every single person to whom I speak about the clear descent of Western society into fascist, technocratic oligarchy just dismisses my concerns with obtuseness, gaslighting, masturbatory sophistry, or outright defense of fascism in the name of their shallow personal identity.
