That window is effectively closed.

My Shakespeare teacher in college called it a concordance when we studied Macbeth. There was a full concordance and then concordances for each speaking part. Pretty fascinating stuff.

To be fair, regular journalists don't understand journalism anymore, either.

Well, buttflapper...

Capitalism filters sociopaths to the top. It's a feature, not a bug. It has always been this way. Read about Henry Ford and JD Rockefeller, John Kellog. The list goes on.

It's so satisfying to slide this thing forcefully onto your pole OVER and OVER again, slamming it against the base.

I've seen a sudden upsurge of promoted videos in the last week or two championing trickle-down economics in my youtube suggested video feed. I thought it was odd. They don't use the term trickle-down economics, but they promote the rich as job creators and use all the Reagan talking points. Based on the comments, lots of people are eating it up as amazing insight.

Some companies are doing it to create a hostile workplace to increase attrition. If an employee quits, they don't have to pay unemployment or severance. Other companies have huge investments in corporate real estate. They have been sitting on short-term loans that are coming due. The property owners are keeping their real-estate values artificially high, but to one wants to rent/lease them, so they aren't as valuable as in practice as they look on paper. Some companies get tax breaks from cities to put their offices there and will not continue to reap those rewards if their workers are not coming into the city. Don't let them gaslight you about culture or face time because that has all been debunked. A lot of remote workers are coming in to the office and sitting on Zoom/Teams calls in their cubicles.

I deleted my account, but then I made a junk account to follow links there when someone says "check this out". There are probably a lot of people like me who just follow links, troll a couple of blue-checks, and then close it.

I used to use DarkSky until they sold out to Apple. It was incredibly accurate.
