The entire profession needs to stand united against this.
the part about SA returnees keeping their US remote jobs is really the icing on this grifter cake.
Trump worried about the Deep State, so he created the Derp State in its place, a government run by morons who think they’re the smartest people.

War has a way of exposing the difference between power and strategy. The United States has enormous power. What remains unclear right now is whether anyone running this war has a strategy.

Josh Blackman thinks that Judge Van Dyke's embarrassingly crude "swinging dicks" decision means he's not "auditioning" for Trump for the Supreme Court. reason.com/volokh/2026/...
To me, this is exactly the kind of crude, norm-breaking thing you do to convince Trump you'd do anything for him.
The image shows a storefront with traditional decorative patterns. The business names "Textiles" and "Lotus Peak Enterprise" are displayed above the entrances, with windows showcasing various items. The architecture features colorful, intricate designs.
An individual stands in an art gallery surrounded by various framed paintings on the walls. There is a table with a set of colored pencils, a mug, and a singing bowl in the foreground. The environment is bright with a wooden floor.
People are interacting on a busy street in Bhutan. Two individuals wearing red robes are walking past, while others sit on steps, looking at a phone. Nearby, a person wearing a hooded jacket stands beside a parked car. The background shows shops and signs, including "Thimphu Central."
Bhutan became the first country to roll out nationwide crypto payments for tourists. Nearly a year later, merchants say hardly anyone is using it https://restofworld.org/2026/bhutan-bitcoin-tourism-payment-adoption-failure/?utm_campaign=row-social&utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social
I mean if you really simplify what happens every election cycle…
We’ve been conditioned into thinking it’s normal to have to build coalitions and outvote hate and racism.
Why on earth is this still happening and why on earth are folks continuing to normalize it?
Racism or any other awful
That’s the part that always blows my mind.
These people will do political autopsies of elections but won’t point out the obvious…it’s always the same demographic.
It’s not about Latinos shifting or Black Folks tuning out. It’s about this demographic NOT BUDGING for decades.
PUBLISH THAT STUDY🤷🏾♀️
I get why people want to vote for Kelly because of Gaza. I think its a mistake because she will not win.
Senator Stratton would be more likely to pivot on the issue than a Senator Krishnamoorthi. And Stratton is a lot better on every other topic.
The right move is to vote Stratton & pressure her
Love seeing documentary work uplifting the history of Black cowboys, who were and are a really essential part of the West.
Here @davidrlurie.com outlines Trump's "long-burning desire to turn urban America into a theater of war" and "visceral desire to foment violence between city residents and police," and how that links to his Iran war.
As always the lifeblood of MAGA is sadism.
Over at @atrupar.com's place:
Over 800,000 people have been forced to flee their homes in #Lebanon, due to relentless Israeli bombings and widespread evacuation orders.
Watch Hisham Newashi and Zeina Ghantous, MSF Project Coordinators in Lebanon, share an update on the situation.
If you're a service member being ordered to prep for deployment for the War in Iran and you have moral and/or ethical misgivings on all this, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.
Call the G.I. Rights hotline: 1-877-447-4487
Ground forces in Iran would be the final betrayal of everything MAGA believed he wouldn't do

Commerce Department corrections reveal that the fourth quarter 2025 US economy wasn't performing nearly as well as Trump, Bessent and Lutnick claimed it was. And the situation now is frankly pretty grave, with consensus emerging for stagflation and recession. www.ft.com/content/bc78...
By equating all Jewish people with Israel's war crimes, you are committing an antisemitism, yes. So why does Greenblatt keep doing it? Using Jewish people as a shield and a scapegoat to get away with mass murder is a betrayal of their people that's hard to describe in words.
This is the newest issue of Vice Versa which is an online OH Magazine dedicated to to LGBTQ+ issues sponsored by Transform. In this issue my kid did the cover art, I’m the caregiver in “Interview with a Caregiver” and one of my auntie’s friends wrote the other article I’m posting
I will not use victimhood to deny other people fundamental human rights or undermine democracy. If you are engaging these debates, don't use tropes of white fear to help defend genocide or to misunderstand a very, very complicated history. None of this is okay. You can't be an "ally" for genocide.
I see too many non-Jewish people calling themselves "allies" when they have not considered there is no one "Jewish community," that there are *extremely different* positions held by various members of the community, and that one genocide does not permit another genocide. Period.

It is "much harder to make change in Congress today...versus just a few decades ago," author of Stuck @kornbergmaya.bsky.social told @zelizer.bsky.social. But there's a path forward. She urges Congress to pass reforms to help it deliver more effectively for Americans.
Putin is a "winner" insofar as there's a bigger oil revenue take, and potentially that Ukraine sees less material support from the U.S.
But the fact that Moscow can only provide limited intelligence and targeting data—and no actual hard arms, after all the years of Iranian aid—is extremely telling.
I've only ever heard of one engineering firm that trains up junior engineers to become senior engineers & upper management. Most firms here end up crashing out when the Parnters retire.
the nitpick i have with this piece — which, at least from my perspective, rings pretty true — is that all of these critiques apply very broadly to org dev in general, with or without AI.
