This female preist just said that legalising DIY abortions up to the point of birth is “legally, morally, and practically complex." It's not complex. Abortion is wrong. End of story

Baby is proxy for other things. Having a baby means being an adult. Being an adult means being invisible and doing thankless daily tasks and duties you can’t expect to get credit for. Modern people, especially modern women, cannot bear the thought of being invisible. Hence the constant public disclosures of private things and feelings that you should keep to yourself in the name of “raising awareness” and “breaking stigmas.”
Peachy Keenan@KeenanPeachy

You're not regretting your baby. You just no longer live in a world where young mothers with babies are made a fuss over, treated like royalty, and given any special privileges, and are instead treated like social pariahs, annoyances, and net drains on society.

So you rape, sodomize, use instruments while raping, and strangle a girl leaving her near death and you are out and about? How? It's called a deal and the DA made quite a deal with this devil named Jesse Butler. Everything was pled down to virtually nothing. Butler was charged as child, not an adult. Butler is no child. Butler pled Nolo. No time behind bars and as long as he keeps his nose clean, his record will be expunged. Butler’s initial charges included "two attempted rapes, three charges of rape by instrumentation, one count of sexual battery, one count of forcible oral sodomy, two counts of domestic assault and battery by strangulation and one count of domestic assault and battery." The deal this DA struck is reprehensible. He is a monster, and he will strike again. The DA and judge should be held responsible. Who will be his next victim? And the LEOs in this treating him with kid gloves. Unbelievable. Again, what about the victims? Predators don't change. They just get older. #Stillwater #Oklahoma #predator

Too many processes usually mean either management is trying to control everything or the team is unable to get sh*t done without a procedure for everything. If the former, micromanagement. If the latter, you’re surrounded by people unprepared for their jobs.

@urusernameisu @jennfrey Family is the fundamental unit of society. Destroy it and it’s easy to divide, isolate, and conquer people. Destroying the family is a tenet of everything evil.

@jennfrey I read the piece from the Cut. Now I’d like to ask why *you* believe “our elites want to push this so hard.” Can you refer me to a piece of your writing that explains? Or simply state your thesis here? Thank you.

@theceoffice @bitchuneedsoap Happened to my coworkers in 2008 We were told our office was shutting down & jobs moved to another state, 8 hours drive away. Replacements would be in our city for a week, then our staff phone support & train for 90days. Else, no severance. I was given WFH status.

In 2015, Disney called 250 IT workers into a meeting. They thought they were getting bonuses. Disney told them they were being replaced by workers flown in from India on H-1B visas, and if they didn't spend the next 90 days training those replacements, they'd lose their severance. Leo Perrero testified before Congress about it. Appeared on 60 Minutes. "Someone was flown in from another country to sit at my same desk and take over what I was doing. It was the most humiliating thing I've ever gone through in my life." Two workers sued Disney, HCL, and Cognizant for colluding to illegally displace American workers. Courts dismissed it. Disney Magic.

@jeremyleese @bitchuneedsoap I may have used the wrong word. 😅 When I said "myth" I meant there's a belief that it's unprofessional if you don't train your replacement. It's not unprofessional, but we're made to believe that it is.

@theceoffice @bitchuneedsoap I've literally watched it happen more than once in IT. The employee doesn't have to stay, but if they don't, they lose their severance. This not uncommon in the industry and is certainly not a "myth".

@MargoMartin47 @ClarkBernard5 As an aside, I do love that someone at the White House so thoughtfully brought over some of their brand new cherry blossom trees for her welcome. Details matter. 🫶🏻 Japan recently gifted us with 250 new trees for our 250th birthday.

@gerrystanekGSO @walterkirn Still tracks for specific schools having higher % of athletes go pro. Same with families: McCaffries, Longs, Manning. They’re compounding tacit and explicit knowledge.

@walterkirn You could apply this same concept to quarterbacks in Western Pennsylvania minus the timing: Joe Namath, Joe Montana, Jim Kelly, Johnny Unitas, Jeff Hostetler, Dan Marino, and more. Maybe it's something in the water. And there's some argument that these guys were artists.

Walter Kirn@walterkirn·
One of the puzzles I find myself mulling over -- too often -- is the question of why artistic genius springs up in geographic clusters rather than in some broad, roughly predictable way. So many great musical talents from Seattle all at once? Whatever may be behind this phenomenon, it doesn't seem to operate with AIs, whose outputs don't arrive in this irregular, qualitatively "lumpy" fashion.

@walterkirn Synergy. Remote work and AI can’t replace it. Talent clusters occurred through history: Athens, Florence, Vienna, Paris, NYC, SV. Synergy, proximity, similar values, and shared resources all help. Technology might give you 3, but not all 4.

The 6th point is interesting in light of the amount of low-quality children's books published in recent years. Illustrations are garish instead of beautiful. Little character development. There is little character development. Too many are not age-appropriate. There's a reason the classics remain popular. They call people up. They inspire bravery, curiosity, and wonder.

How the children's books industry works: 1. People are way less likely to read children's books on a Kindle. 2. Children's books generally have a longer shelf lives than adult books. If they're a hit, they stay popular for a long, long time. 3. Picture books cost way more to print than traditional books. A 32-page picture book can cost as much to print as a 400-page novel. 4. They have smaller margins because even though the printing costs are higher, they typically retail for significantly less than adult novels. 5. They have three kinds of storytelling: words, images, and the space between them. "It's almost like the author has to be a director, and all the children's books authors will talk about the mystery of the page turn." 6. The one commonality among every children's book writer is that they treat kids with respect. They don't talk down to them.

Jon Yaged runs Macmillan, one of the five biggest publishers in the world, so I asked him to explain the book publishing industry to me. My main question: why should authors work with a traditional publisher, especially when self-publishing is taking off? What I got was a full tour of how book publishing works. Everything from how authors make money, to how publishers choose which books to back, to the traditional vs. self-publishing debate. Timestamps: 2:01 Consolidation in book publishing 4:01 Celebrity books 7:57 The scale of the publishing industry 9:48 How to get your book published 14:15 New York 16:25 Using data to find great books 29:33 How to work with a publisher 31:11 The economics of a book deal 36:42 How sequels work 42:21 Children's books 48:42 Books in Europe vs. America 50:25 Should writers use AI? 1:00:57 How printing works 1:04:52 Book marketing advice 1:09:48 What a publishing CEO does 1:11:06 Audiobooks 1:15:17 Are people getting stupider? 1:18:20 The publisher business model 1:19:08 Macmillan I've shared the full interview with Jon Yaged below. If you'd rather watch or listen to the interview somewhere else, check out the first reply tweet where I've linked to the interview on YouTube, and also on Apple / Spotify. Enjoy!

In this specific example, that's on Disney. That's the risk you assume by laying off your community members and future customers. I have no sympathy. I do understand what you're saying. Thanks for adding. There is also the tacit knowledge that's lost. The same knowledge that can't be picked up via automation.

@theceoffice @bitchuneedsoap When it comes to IT, systems architecture, app/database interactions and interdependencies, status of current projects, etc. are not always documented as meticulously as they could be. Sudden departure of hundreds of staff without knowledge transfer would be chaos.
