6 years of research: "The only trait that consistently predicted objections to remote work was narcissism—the tendency to be self-centered & entitled. The higher the opinions of themselves leaders expressed, the more they coveted power and status—& the more they favored return-to-office mandates."

You know the one thing that you have that they don't?
A sense of humor.
I know it's bad, it's really bad, and we're all rather hard-pressed to know how to deal with it.
But don't forget. They are incredibly brittle, and you are incredibly resiliant.
Keep your sense of humor.

The "it is actually an embroidery not a tapestry" crowd will be thankfully distracted by "they did not actually wear horned helmets" for a few days.

#Belgium #WorldCup team isn't happy, and I don't blame them.
I don't know what their options are, but they should use every resource available to them to keep Balogun out of the game on Monday, regardless the controversy surrounding the call. The red card was given, and it should stand.
There have been 12 red cards in the World Cup, including the one just given to England tonight.
None of those players were given special consideration. Not one.
It’s 43 minutes past midnight.
This is downtown Oslo.

Amazing photo by Cheney Orr of Reuters from today. Black woman sitting alone on the DC Metro with a crowd of masked white supremacists on their way to the capital to march with confederate flags.
There is also a deeper analogy for what I keep hearing over and over from Black people: finding themselves surrounded by white people who either do not know, or do not care, about how America looks from the Black person's perspective.
The purpose of a wealth tax is not to finance national government operation. Currency sovereigns issue and spend in their own currency. They self finance. Tax retires that financing. Proper tax retires the financing piling up into the hands of the few.
The purpose of a wealth tax is to cap wealth. The purpose is to place an upper limit on economic and political power consolidation.
Like, every time I read somebody arguing we shouldn't judge people for using chatbots as it's the first time they've had somebody at their constant beck and call I think, no, that actually makes me think less of them
Andy Burnham is set to kick Palantir out of the NHS
- but how did Palantir get into the NHS *in the first place*? — and what’s the risk?
RE: https://mastodon.social/@deadline/116856187236820464
Okay, so we now have two government departments quitting X. What will it take for Andy Burnham to take this one up as a leadership pledge for the whole government?
Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the Democratic Socialists of America and why people should be afraid of them ...
As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports.
Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round.
A missed opportunity?

Anything can be real. Every imaginable thing is happening somewhere along the dimensional axis. These things happen a billion times over with exactly the same outcome and no one learns anything. Whatever a person can think, imagine, wish for, or believe has already come to pass. Dreams come true all the time, just not for the dreamers.

Can we ban all alleged great geniuses and cast them into outer darkness forever?
