remember when obama said that we needed more stem grads? that's because stem grads were getting more expensive than employers wanted

now it's software

Holy poo poo how did I not put that together?

I heard in a lecture that Protestantism was invented because employers got sick of all the workers taking (Catholic) holidays off.

That was a feature of it, but it was generally a turn away from church (and later feudal) power structures as the capitalist class developed. No more feast days, no more forced tithes, no more restrictions on usury, etc etc etc

How about a good Homer mask?



He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding! O stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two gin-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved Big Homer

lmao that interview is just a series of

“how would we select these benevolent oligarchs?”

“I haven’t thought it through that far”

“what if they turn out to not be benevolent?”

“well that’s definitely a flaw in the plan.”

"How would you describe yourself politically?"

Have a guess at what he said.

Matt: I would describe myself as a Libertarian-leaning moderate. I used to be a lot more Libertarian, and I sort of drifted back toward the center. There’s a lot of things on both the left and the right that I’m pretty sympathetic to. But I definitely don’t think that either fringe has it right, and I don’t think that them yelling at each other is a constructive way to do things.

Were you right? I was.

lol what the gently caress

quote:

At the same time, the president has boasted close relations with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and offered full-throated support to Israel, including moving the United States Embassy to Jerusalem, even absent progress toward a settlement with the Palestinians.

That more strident support has now been greeted with more strident opposition, most obviously from Representative Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress.

She has been widely condemned for peddling anti-Semitic stereotypes about the undue influence of Jewish lobbies over policy or that call into question Jews’ national allegiance.

The use of similar tropes by members of the Labour Party in Britain has prompted several Labour lawmakers to resign in protest. They are also common talking points in extremist Islamist circles.


it gets worse

quote:

Both left and right “have the same image of Israel,” said David Hirsh, a sociologist at Goldsmiths College, University of London, and a critic of Mr. Corbyn who campaigns against the academic boycott of Israel.

“Corbyn says that Israel is a uniquely belligerent human-rights-abusing state that defends its purity at all costs against Muslims,” he said. “And I suspect that people on the far right have exactly the same picture of Israel — that it is a belligerent country that defends itself against Muslims.”

I know I should have quoted parts of it but almost every paragraph is a hot take. It's all "On the right are people actively murdering Jews which is just like Ilhan Omar saying the Israel lobby exists."

“Corbyn says that Israel is a uniquely belligerent human-rights-abusing state that defends its purity at all costs against Muslims,” he said. “And I suspect that people on the far right have exactly the same picture of Israel — that it is a belligerent country that defends itself against Muslims.”

The difference is the right thinks that's a good thing
