Why are we crashing out publicly on the internet over medium ugly dudes. Just go to CVS or something, and get a new one? It’s really that easy. Go outside

A good antidote, and I mean this completely seriously, to the contemporary mood is to be friends with some real estate developers, who, I’ve noticed, seem to be imbued with a certain pathological optimism.

To my well-meaning liberal friends, can you seriously tell me with a straight face that a political-economic system that produces the conditions where the entire planet is held hostage by this raving lunatic is one worth saving?

I got the call I was part of a 320 odd nationwide management layoff at my company while on my way to the hospital for surgery on a Monday morning of all things. Nothing to do with me or my performance, just a number on a spreadsheet somewhere post $Bs merger Anytime is right.

I’m going to hold your hands when I say this: you can uproot your life, work 100 hours a week, believe in the company’s mission, etc. but still be fired at any time for any reason, and likely not have a cause of action. I’ll still give you 20 mins to vent though!!

This Plato will be a copy…a shadow, if you will, of the original Plato. Eventually, you will treat him as the real Plato, because he is the only reality you have ever known. And you will be very satisfied with this copy of Plato, and even find satisfaction in a world of copies
The American Conservative@amconmag

"Imagine a humanoid named Plato." Melania Trump says humanoid educators will offer "instantaneous" access to the classical studies for students and help create a "more complete person."

There are days when I wonder if Canada is actually salvagable. Air Canada's gormless CEO has expertly engineered one of those days.
