Maybe this one will stick?
One of the (few, minuscule) good things about this year has been Alexandra Petri moving from WaPo to the Atlantic, where I already had a subscription and which isn’t owned by Jeff Bezos.
Usually, when the phrase “extended pro-Hitler rant” is in the same sentence as some HR news, that news is not a hiring. www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...
Congrats on the New DOD Gig, MechaHitler!
Turns out, going on anti-Semitic tirades didn’t stop Grok from winning a big government contract.

The European teenage boys sitting next to me at this cafe would have more success being subtle if they didn’t punctuate their foreign conversation with “OnlyFans” every second sentence 🤣🤦🏻♀️

Apart from the fact that it’s been debunked for decades, the “vaccines cause autism” lie pisses me off because SO FUCKING WHAT if they did?! Many, many brilliant people are autistic and frankly, I’m not convinced we wouldn’t be better off if it were the neurotypicals who were the minority.

We’re about to be hit by a cyclone (hurricane) for the first time in 50 years and honestly it’s kind of delightful that literally all the news here is about the preparation. It’s a relief to think about something other than Herr Trump. 🥴

The thing is, you can be the most conservative IR realist around who couldn’t care less whether foreigners live or die and STILL recognise that there is a need to counter China’s transparent program to expand its sphere of influence. If we end up at war, we need allies. That’s WHY USAID exists.
Fox News just said the U.S. doesn't have anything like China's Belt and Road Initiative, which is hilarious. We did. It was called USAID.

When I worked for a software company, the devs wanted to created a whole gamified coin system for each part of the program (NB: said program was a B2B, very boring supply-chain related SaaS). They COULD NOT understand how that might be difficult to account for.
Tech people know nothing about audit.

“Elon got root access” is definitely going to wind up in court filings since that’s not what DOJ has been telling judges.
Musk just quote-tweeted this, which seems like an admission they’ve been lying in court.

OK so can we kick the USA out of Five Eyes now? Or do we have to wait until they invade Canada?

Somehow that fuckface can throw up the old Heil Hitler and it’s “oh, he’s autistic” but when I pointed out my boss’s list of “problems” she had with me was basically the DSM criteria it was somehow still my fault?
Everyone excusing Elon Musk’s behavior due to his alleged autism should be chased into the sea with pitchforks
it’s both profoundly insulting to autistic people and also obviously not true
