Workers who love ‘synergizing paradigms’ might be bad at their jobs | Cornell Chronicle Employees who are impressed by vague corporate-speak like “synergistic leadership,” or “growth-hacking paradigms” may struggle with practical decision-making, a new Cornell study into “corporate BS” r...

This article is hilarious but I think unintentionally, or at least as unintentional as a study on corporate bullshit could be.

They have no plan. They're just bombing shit.

I've worked pretty hard recently but today I slacked off. And it was alright. My hope is to inspire by sharing. If I can do it, you can too, #slacker

This administration doesn't respect basic decency...or intellectual property rights. Good for @benstiller.redhour.com for standing up.

Over-privileged brat. He has the luxury to be a dick *because* of vaccines, because people have forgotten about the iron lung and the misery of illness and death. And it's profitable for him too. Guy should be in jail for the harm he's caused.

They're sending the ships because BRITAIN needs them not Trump, after that fucking imbecile got multiple countries dragged into an unnecessary war.

Elon Musk Moon Shift: Why Mars Beats Lunar Settlement Elon Musk should remain focused on Mars; diverting to the Moon would be a mistake.

This take is as insane as Elon Musk. It's hard to believe someone would take the time to write it. Explaining the impracticalities of colonizing the Moon as a segue into advocacy for colonizing Mars, is quite something. quillette.com/2026/03/05/m...

I don't often choose to ingest pathogenic microbes but when I do, I prefer them to come from snorting coke off a toilet seat.

I don't understand why you promote this. It's annoying not interesting. Giving him a platform helps him, alone. He lies like this because it works, but only if his audacity is repeated and shared.

Guy should be in Hollywood. He's an actor playing a role but rather overdoing it. That cocky bravado and self-assured, condescending schtick, is gonna bite him in the ass (harder than a minor snapping down on Donald Trump's penis).

A Constitutional amendment? We can't even pass a budget.

After all the Trumps are famous for their love of street life. And walking.

Ah yes, the good old days of artisanal meth from Montana, where the local craftsmen made Walter White look like a cowboy.

Not the sort of detail you make up, biting Trump's penis, that is.

If I may paraphrase....

They've surrendered. They suck, really bad, no one sucks more. But we're going to hit them even harder, until they surrender(?!). Including some new bits we're thinking of hitting that haven't been hit before.

Is it wrong for me to miss Donald Rumsfeld?

Hillary has a track record of being proven right. Harris spoke clearly of the magnitude of the Trump threat while some were downplaying it. It's not like they had some magical, unique insight, but they were clear, direct and obviously correct.

White men, with no college education. If America was a house party, these guys would be the turd floating in the punch.

Trump will never, ever get to experience such a moment. Sure, some unfortunate construct of bricks and mortar will get the home depot gilded trim treatment, but there can be none of the prestige, that permeates Obama. Not even the faintest hint of it.

Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran The president’s private comments have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purpos...

Because why the fuck not, eh?!
Maybe those troops can wander around Iran and find out from local folks, if anyone knows what the fucking plan is.
