Sick burn but srsly if a cis-sy comes to us with a broken cock, contrite spirit, and a willingness to retake the annual consent training course (including the entire addendum specifically for cis het men), we could identify the flaws in his game in less time than (in another universe) we could drain his ***** in the ********.

You're in the right place but may have the wrong attitude. Just remember: everyone you deem beneath you forgets about you the second they're underneath someone else.

Imagine the pressure of safeguarding the only true hope of freedom from capitalism. One cannot underestimate the importance of open source. His ego does get in the way because ultimately, everybody is replaceable. But very few could be as militantly focused on the importance of the mission. When you remove money, all the motivators are different. His ability to get results from bullying and public shaming should be studied for how its outcome is different than typical bullying. And he even went to therapy specifically to work on this. Fight another battle.

As someone who was in college when Facebook dropped, I put WAY too much energy into caring about this than I would now. Everyone does stupid shit. It's the illegal stuff I'd avoid ~~filming~~ doing. Here's the deal: cancelation isn't real and all press is good press.*

So she's savvy with her words so people don't recognize the true anti-gay crusade. A true wolf in bitch's clothing.

One thing I'm hearing a lot of is that this is a Christian lobby group. I did not see obvious signs of that on their website, though some of the language felt like an intentional alternative to how I (social worker) would discuss issues of women's empowerment. Like they were holding space to later include "LGBTQ+" in their definition of problematic content. I am more than willing to believe an activist group from that demographic would lie to push their true agenda. Who has a good news source discussing their ideology?

Oh, so it really is just oligarchy keeping us all imprisoned by the same fucking labor rights erosion and workplace pressure we're getting in every industry. It just stands out to us because people died this time. I'm not sure that makes it stand out to them.

Why - did they hear people had eggshells they don't want walked on?

To me it sounds like multiple relatively minor errors coalesced around tragedy. There is lots of data to inform changes to fine-tune a congested airspace. It also looks like the military's culture of safety has slipped and they've forgotten how intricately of an operation this all is when their operations are do closely intertwined with a commercial operation. That could potentially indicate the need for large systemic change pending further investigation.

What I don't see is an obvious call for outrage; for heads to roll; to tear down the system to start over. Idk if there's footage but the article writing makes it sound like Homenday is playing up the drama, but she could also just be passionate in what she's saying.

I'm seeking comfort in the belief that one of our damn systems in this country still functions. Sometimes we just need to read the post-mortem, make the changes, and let insurance pay the grieving families.
