worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

We're super excited to be returning to the Bagpuss Universe for Yaffle Origins. As mega fans of the Oliver Postbox multiverse, we always dreamed of telling the story of Assistant Professor Yaffle getting his first pair of glasses or whatever. Join us on this barren sphere, in this living death.

The thing I try to explain the most to those who don’t live here is that the Nuzzis of the world live in Washington (the place that deserves your ire) and the rest of us live in D.C., a collection of diverse, mostly quiet, walkable residential neighborhoods with no federal representation
I live in DC. You think “official Washington” didn’t care what Trump administration 2 was likely to do?
Talk to someone who works at NIH. Or State. Or CFPB. Or DOJ. They all knew what was at stake. They were all scared + furious.
And reporters like Nuzzi saw none of it because they didn’t care.

Oh they didn't burn him alive in the middle of the ocean without hearing evidence against him? That's universally understood as not the appropriate punishment?

this is, again, a case of someone who has not done any kind of real work in decades (maybe ever, she has a degree in political science and has been doing HR her entire career) who think the bullshit they sleepwalk through every day is work and don't understand why real human beings get tired by it
While work-life balance may give you a sense of happiness and fulfillment, it isn’t always realistic, says Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer Donna Morris.
Walmart exec: ‘I’ve never believed in the term work-life balance’—this is the mantra that made her highly successful instead
Many professionals see work-life balance as a non-negotiable. Walmart CPO Donna Morris says people should practice work-life integration instead. Here's why.

I just feel like there needs to be more creativity and urgency in responding to the ongoing decimation we are seeing and it should not be up to individuals who are trying to keep their employees FROM BEING DISAPPEARED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to single-handedly make up the financial gap.

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate.
And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

Once again, if you're wondering why Bezos doesn't seem bothered that he's wrecking The Post, keep in mind that he spent twice what The Post cost him just on his boat.
He can afford to wreck this toy. All those lives and careers where just playthings for him.

Four more WaPo departures: Hank Stuever, Ann Hornaday, Craig Timberg, Joel Achenbach. Source says it feels like the Hunger Games: “My inbox has literally dozens of announcements of departures or newsroom wide goodbye notes.”
