If you personally insult me, I will tell you, and mute you for a random duration. If you persist, it's a block.
I tend to follow far too many people. Every now and then I cull a RANDOM selection for my sanity. If I unfollow you, this is why - it's not personal.

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

If ICE can kidnap people for a day with no repercussions just because of the color of their skin, I really think Minnesota police should be allowed to kidnap people for a day with no repercussions because they're wearing an ICE vest.

People in Calgary and Vancouver frequently call the cities by their airport code for short ("I live in YYC"), it's used by companies in branding, etc.

They demolished USAID in three months, with nothing to replace it, and no plan to feed people or pay farmers. Next to that, abolishing ICE is easy.

Corporate Training is always long and tedious, but there is a bit of enjoyment by noticing how each company puts extra emphasis on a different specific topic, and hypothesizing (or just looking up on Wikipedia) what prompted this extra attention.

One of the great riddles I hope future historians will be able to solve is whether Trump actually thinks that political asylum and an insane asylum are the same thing, or it was a mistake he doubled down on, or it was a deliberate "bit" all along. Although that implies Trump even knows.

Here's an 8-min video on (initially-secret) Customs & Border Patrol report, which found: in many vehicle shooting cases, agents intentionally put themselves in exit path of vehicle, thereby creating justification for the use of deadly force.
