I recently moved from Boston to Portland, I am making new friends at 65.
I can see when people get to know me well enough that they understand me to be an activist, for many that's enough to have them not want to be closer, they are afraid.
It feels awful but it also beautifully outlines what I actually need to do, I need to gain their support, I need to gain access before I can "do" anything.
Guess what? It's a ton of work!
(I hope this is somehow still on topic, sorry.)

Hey fellow Americans?
They didn't like us before.

I am not posting at my normal time and therefore not getting reflexive likes from my peeps.
2 stars.

I have not idea if this will matter more than Trump's "pussy grabbing" but it's much, much worse.

Space nuts? Science nerds? It's 2025!
One rocket blew up and another is space garbage strewn across the moon.
I watched *real* men walk on the fucking moon.

"Should you sell your Tesla shares?" is "Should you stop shitting in the street?"
Some of this is so *easy*.

I was a VP, Eng in some Boston startups, the VCs cared about what I did but we did not hang.
Personalitywise they were just like JD Vance.
Yeah, it's not good.

@JessTheUnstill yes! Employers used to bend over backwards to insist that positions had been eliminated and layoffs were *not* based on performance because they were worried about being sued for circumventing reasonable performance management practice.
"Cruel" is a strong word and it's appropriate here.

My take on H1Bs? They don't matter, they never mattered, they will never matter.
Stay tuned for more of my spicy takes on what you choose to get upset about.

Yes, for me the bros coming to prominence in our industry was a profound loss.
I came of age in a tech culture, that while not very diverse, was open, welcoming, and supportive.
"Tech" today is a sewer, a huge part of the larger problems we face.
Oh, except for here 😜 .

@randahl the American right kissing up to Putin is one of the most unusual things that has happened in my lifetime.
*All* they care about is their money, it's revolting.

Learning Javascript is hard and it's stupid.
Learning to make pastry - even a simple pie crust - is hard and it's glorious.
Choose carefully.

@rysiek People think they work for "managers", but by definition they work for investors.
