- Comment on Alarm as Florida Republicans move to fill deported workers’ jobs with children: ‘It’s insane, right?’ 4 days ago:
I’m hoping some of the other nations will provide us a way to escape by accepting those of us that wish to leave. I fully intend to try to get my family out if the worst comes to pass. As a white man with a black wife and a biracial son, I’m frankly terrified of all the white supremacy normalization going on. I’m just not sure what countries would be willing to have us. I’m neither rich nor particularly talented, but I’m willing to learn and work.
- Comment on Corporate management is now too lazy to even physically go to locations now. 4 days ago:
Now you don’t even have a human manager on-site with whom you could reason who is familiar with the facts on the ground, I guess. No possibility of the workers being able to advance, too, possibly.
Techno-feudalism is turning out to be just as awful as any of the dystopian visions we’ve seen from writers over the past few decades, but it’s also awful in new, unique ways.

Some people choose to have guns. They’re not cheap, and not everyone over here is willing to kill someone else.

If we start burning cars, we likely start getting shot. Remember this is the USA we’re talking about here. Maybe it needs to come to that, but don’t judge people for trying to avoid the kind of crackdown Trump would likely enact given any excuse.

Smeagol had the ring for nearly 500 years and never completely succumbed to its power like the ring-wraiths did. While he was corrupted, he still had a spark of himself under all those centuries of madness. I believe Gandalf specifically points this out somewhere. Something about the nature of hobbits enabled them to resist the ring better than any other race, even the high elves that had lived on Valinor–heck, even Gandalf, a Maia, feared to take up the ring. The only person who seemed able to bear it with no corruption was Tom Bombadil in the books.

Just read the first section of The Will to Change. As a man, it’s fascinating and enlightening to see a feminist deal with men and masculinity rather than dismiss them.

Is the work getting done? If so, what does ten minutes matter? Is it about productivity, or just about ensuring that work is sufficiently unpleasant to keep the peasants in their place?

No worries. Now I know it exists…maybe I can find a translation or translate it myself with Google if I can get a copy at all 🤣

Three O’Clock High is an all-time favorite. It’s like somebody set out to make THE stereotypical eighties movie. Budget Matthew Broderick? Check! Bratty little sister? Yes, sir! Nerdy best friend? We got you! And don’t get me started on how fantastic Buddy Revelle is. I feel like it’s got way better cinematography than it should, and the acting seems surprisingly good to me.

I have to admit that The Running Man may be my favorite.
