I feel like this is too much of a pattern to be a coincidence. Dump a huge amount of files, there’s a few juicy things in there, people crawl all over them. The administration does a poor job covering them, etc. Then we do the same thing a month later. Why not release all of them at once in a flood that takes forever to sift through? Or why not just refuse to release them at all? Why keep doing these little splurges?

I’m amazed that I haven’t seen any “Don’t attack Russia in Winter” type jokes about Minnesota

I hadn’t heard about the puppies, tent stake, or child being shot part. That’s horrifying.

Is this the Sascha Riley stuff?

Final Fantasy 12

I got to a point in the game where I was literally saying to myself “Oh, okay this is the mid game point, and after this things open up a bit and we maybe get a twist, kinda like FFX when it’s time to rescue Yuna from Bevelle, that’s where we are here.”

Went in, fought a boss, roll credits.

I was almost actually slack jawed in amazement that the game was actually over.

The next spin is to try and just deny that the Epstein Files says anything bad at all.

Yesterday on Tiktok I came across no less than three videos with the same audio, of laughter, along with the exact same, word for word copy paste of something like “The Democrats’ faces when it’s revealed that the Epstein Files totally exonerate Trump and a majority of the Democrats are guilty. Watch them walk it all back.”

And people believe it

Most Politicians*

A majority of U.S. Citizens support socialized healthcare or some kind of public option as far as I know.

Oh, word? I never knew about that

Definitely not surprised. Just amused that the first of hopefully many reveals

Is this

Oh yeah, I am in no way saying he wasn’t up to gross shit.

I guess I just find it funny that Maga is constantly saying “Well what if Bill Clinton is in the Files? What then?”

And this is the first we find out about his involvement.

Oh hey Maga was right

Bill Clinton is in the Epstein files.

I think the argument was that if your parents are not naturalized citizens, then that means they’re not ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof’. So like, if the parents ‘owe allegiance’ to their previous country then it makes the kid a citizen of the parents’ original country, and not the U.S.

But it’s all actually bullshit to try and justify not wanting brown people to be U.S. Citizens tbh.

I saw a person trying to all caps “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof” screaming that this specific clause somehow is the piece that excludes birthright citizenship because something something loyalty to other countries?

This gives “the fuckin loser on the playground that thinks he’s hot shit, goes to start a fight and then screams no fighting no fighting!! before the person can hit back.”

Breaking Bad

I’m terrified that I smell bad and nobody is telling me.

He did none of those things.

Lmao, “all over it”

Tesla and SpaceX both have entire teams of people dedicated to making sure Musk has as little impact on the companies as possible because he’s such a fuckin’ buffoon. Take a look at Twitter, the company he bought and wasn’t prepared to keep him off the reins. It absolutely shit tanked. Same thing with his time at PayPal. Everything he touches turns to absolute shit. The only things he has that are successful, Tesla and SpaceX, are successful literally actually because the people in those companies that do the real work male sure he can’t fuck it up.

The piece of Tesla he’s had the most impact on is the Cybertruck and its universally hailed as an absolute and utter failure. Put your tongue away, Musk ain’t gonna share his money with you dude.

The plain and simple truth is that DEI often increases, not decreases, efficiency and productivity. It does this by creating accommodations for efficient workers who would, without them, not be able to work, such as in the new mothers example. It also increases efficiency by combating existing institutional racism and allowing for good, efficient workers who would otherwise be hedged out of the system, to have a chance to participate. A good friend of mine has pointed out that their company is not, under any circumstances, going to let go of their DEI policies because it’s lead the best and most efficient departments they’ve ever had.

I can’t remember the name. I’ll try to find it when I’m next on shift.

They forced the company to switch from a merit system to a scheduled raise, so now everyone gets the same low raise regularly, instead of anyone having an opportunity to earn a higher raise by being good at the job. They forced us to separate out sick leave vs pto, when before it was just one large pool. Now we have much less time off in total. Then they forced in a specific discipline policy requiring several steps and legalese loopholes which forces us to keep bad actor employees for months and months when before we could just fire them. Overall quality of service is way down, the workload has dramatically shifted so that there are now freeloaders and then employees who have to take up the slack. Morale is down, all our quality employees are burning out and quitting. It’s a fuckin mess.
