Also here’s your periodic reminder that by the time you hear about any get rich quick scheme—whether it’s GME, BTC, or Silver—it’s far too late for you to be anything other than somebody else’s exit strategy.

Seriously, the I cannot believe the amount of erroneous victimization people can hold in their brain in the face of all evidence to the contrary.

Every year when February rolls around, I hear people complaining, “When is it going to be white people history month?” My reply is, “Every damn month of the year, including February!”

Step by step, day by day, one foot in front of the other. You will persevere. Also realize that you are not alone.

Our daughter shows no inclination to go into computing or any other STEM field. And I’m glad about that given what I hear constantly from my female colleagues in the field about harassment and abuse they receive. We need to work to make tech a safe field for our daughters.

Important thread
Entrepreneurs often tell people to go start their own companies, that it’s the only way to go if you want your big dreams to become bigger realities.
Fact is, it sucks in all the ways capitalism sucks, but with way more pressure & anxiety.
Unless you’re a White dude who gets VC.

I’m thinking things that would point to exfil and/or exploitation. Moving files back and forth, etc.

Reporting for Jury Duty tomorrow. I'm swinging wildly between, "Jeez, I'm a sucker" and "This is important, I feel good about going."

I was hoping to connect with a community of like-minded people. The problem is it worked out too well. I should have wished for more diversity thought and celebration of underrepresented stories.

I’m surprisingly OK with this idea. I support the notion of UBI, universal healthcare, and free education at least through undergrad.
Because we’re all in this together. And we need to address these issues before the guillotines start appearing. /fin

So if you’re one of the lucky few (like me) who has been dealt the winning hand and can work remote and make a good living, I’m happy for you. But give a thought to the wrenching dislocation that this societal shift is going to have on those less fortunate. 6/n

This is clearly not good for these service industries and the people they currently employ. But I would also argue it is a bad thing for our society to be shedding these jobs into a gig economy which so far appears to be exploiting many for the benefit of very few. 5/n

And I fear the long-term outlook for these service jobs is bad. Lacking economy of scale, remote employees will look to gig workers to fill some of these functions—house cleaning, catering/shopping, etc. 4/n
