LOL who could have predicted this? Oh wait. Lots of us did. You'd think people who went through the beanie baby, dot com, and crypto/NFC bubbles would learn from even just one of those. But no. Teach leaders don't do that. Bullishly charging from fad to fad is... easier? https://www.inc.com/bruce-crumley/55-percent-of-leaders-regret-ai-layoffs-and-a-major-hiring-reversal-has-begun/91380901

I’ve been watching ‘Invincible’ since it started and it’s fine (gory for sure). Each season I watch, forget and move on. Season 4 though, I’m like, “Maybe I’ll hold on to this and rewatch” So much better story telling! #TV

What’re people using for Mesh home networking these days? TP Link has gotten progressively worse. Opened the app just now and it caused the system to reboot while Nicole was on a call. Just opened the app. #homenetwork #networking

The internet really has broke our brains. People in writing forums “Can I write/do this?” EVERY DAY. People in reading forums “SHould I start with X or Y? Is this book ok?” People in Ereader forums “Should I buy X or Y?” I get getting input, but christ. Is no one capable of just acting without?

I get it. You&#39;re a slithereen or rufflepuff or whatever. HP is a massive cultural icon. But his creator is a horrible monster. You own the books and movies, great, enjoy those, you&#39;ve already purchased. Supporting this new thing. That&#39;s an endorsement of her evil. Same as buying a cybertruck was an endorsement of Musk. Go find someone creating things that aren&#39;t evil to support.

LOL. The Nebula voting packet is 95% PDFs. Fuck that noise. I’m not struggling through reading a PDF on a device that I normally read on (it would have to be my iPad). Nor am I inclined to try some janky conversion to EPUB. #sfwa

Just so we’re clear. The whole “If we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files the ‘system’ will collapse” thing. I am 100% on board with that collapse. GOP, Democrat, broligarch. If they went to that ghoul’s island, let em roast.
