Return-to-Office Mandates and Brain Drain
Dec. 19th, 2024 06:16 amAs Calvin said to Hobbes, “We must be careful not to learn from this.” The beginning of COVID forced many organizations to allow employees to work from home, and an overwhelming number of employees liked it that way. Now the bosses want the workers to return to “birth, commutation, and death”* and they’re losing a lot of their best people

Dec. 11th, 2024 05:42 pmFacebook is having trouble putting up some posts. From mine, I would guess it was controversial ones. There was a graphic of health insurance CEOs and their salaries, and it looked to me like an FBI most wanted poster. So I admitted that I would be tempted to write APPREHENDED on Brian Thompson’s picture. What annoys me, though, is that they also failed to put up one of my warnings about a post that led to a dangerous page. I think that’s a public service.

I hereby issue a public apology. Someone posted that The Silmarillion is the book that contains all the knowledge in the world, if one is clever and devious enough to find it. I accused them of heresy, because everyone knows that book is Finnegans Wake. Upon further review, I have decided that they can be two Testaments.
Discrimination
Dec. 2nd, 2024 01:21 pmThe word discriminate has two opposite meanings: to distinguish badly (racial discrimination) and to distinguish well (discriminating tastes). Public schools of course should refrain from the bad kind, but one essential function is to discriminate well.
Saying that there’s a war on Christmas because some people don’t spontaneously wish you a merry one is like saying there’s a war on your dick because some people won’t suck it.
