The Doctor

If it’s advertising, what is it advertising?

It’s worth keeping in mind that the article above is from 2022.ev.

People lie best when they lie to themselves.

Got it in one.

“Illegal state subsidies?” From whom?

Somebody seems to think so.

I can’t shake the feeling that we’re in the middle of a passive-aggressive depopulation operation.

It’s not an actual list. There’s no GDoc that gets shared around or anything. People talk to people. Folks who used to work together who kept in touch sometimes give each other “a friendly heads-up - that guy at the protest? He’s getting fired. Don’t hire him.” Then e-mails to recruiting addresses get deleted or a resume’ gets dumped in the recycling bin, and that’s that.

It’s the same back channels on LinkedIn and Skype chat groups (yes, they’re still a thing) that are used to organize parties at RSA and shit like that.

I was just about to ask if anybody else had been “advised” through the usual social back channels to not consider hiring anyone on that list. I got a couple of messages last night from folks I used to work for about that.

Shit. I’m going on travel in a month or two.

“Conservatives seem more excited about change.”

No, conservatives seem excited about changing as much back to the way it was before. Progressives are sad because un-doing progress is significantly easier and faster than making progress.

If you actually talk to some of those people as people (person to person, just shooting the shit, not questioning or obviously gathering intel or anything) and the subject comes up, they’ll straight up tell you that.

The autopsy report will be interesting. Assuming that it’s not mysteriously lost in a disk crash.

Really?

Fuckin’ really?

I give up.

Maybe somebody should be them in touch with Indymedia.

A friend of mine quit his position at a library and moved away from WV last month. Just in time, it seems.

They’re great for un-doing the bolts used to hold lots of stuff in place. Including rocks.

Some people still don’t understand that justice is cash flow.

Just remember: Two sets of hex wrenches (USian and metric) will run you about $15us at the hardware store.

Not terribly unusual. The same companies that own nuclear power companies also own television networks that never have negative coverage of nuclear power for the same reason. It’s just showing up on a smaller scale now.

Where there’s a government agency, there are contractors willing to do the job.
