Musk firing half of the workers at Twitter while complaining that the woke left is ruining the platform is the perfect summary of the current conservatives movement. Get power, make things worse, play the victim.

Gen X is tired. We know we need to vote, just quietly leave a pamphlet and let us alone. One of the nicest things about being a hermit whose driveway looks like nobody lives here is that no goddamned door knockers show up. No Mormons, no JWs, no political ones, nobody.

We now acknowledge that it is rude to randomly call people on the phone, but somehow showing up in person and expecting someone to stop what they are doing and talk to you about about topic not of their choice is fine. How!?!!

At Xamarin I left every day at 5pm and I prioritized a healthy life/work balance - and hope I lead my people that way. I think that asking people to work extra hours just give you low quality output. And in the context of these layoffs is crass.
