This is my favorite. Yes, I broke the law, took advantage of the system, and got to stay. Fuck them, send them home.

Barbara Canales, a 49-year-old certified nursing assistant who lives in Hialeah, said her mother brought her as a young girl from Honduras with a visa and overstayed it. It took them many years to legalize their status and to be able to bring other family members.

“That’s why I totally agree that you need to take illegal immigrants out of the United States. I’m sorry, but they should do it,” Canales said, adding that she feels most of the migrants arriving in the past few years are different. “When you come in with a visa is a totally different story.”

Blows my mind that people don't know that we shrank the numbers of allowed yearly immigrants from certain countries.

The goal here is the Russian model.  Sell off everything that the government does profitably and then just leave the unprofitable stuff undone (but leave it undone in such a way as to enrich certain favored government allies who are charged with "doing" the undone thing).

Have you ever been to rural Russia?  The roads are typically not paved.  There very frequently is not running water.  Electricity is spotty.  Broadband is . . . ha--that's funny.  But goddamn--they fucking love Putin in rural Russia.

Yep, this. Stalin was not a Communist, he was a Stalinist. We are seeing similar shit

Communist is similar to Christian as in they are labels plastered over things that aren't in any way actually Communist or Christian. 

Communism and Christianity do not exist today.

Bastardized versions of fascism have replaced communism and Christianity and wear the label like a little red hat.

The other thing we’ll see is open bribery and extortion. “Hey judge, you ruled against us. Thats a shame” One day later “whoops your son was arrested for…”

Oh my god, I feel so sad for kids born into families like this. Extra sad knowing I grew up with a mom who was antivax and had to get all my shots at age 27 to travel abroad for work. I was going to Nigeria and they had a whole list of required vaccines to enter the country. Nigeria of all places has stricter immigration/work visa vaccine requirements than the US. Just bonkers.

The process for earning a masters or PhD has become, seemingly to me (an idiot), an assembly line of templates and specific directions for writing. Passive voice. Over-describing a single item. Adoption or creation of words that are not needed.

Recently, I read a description of a process where I work. If done correctly one might hope to attain "connectedness" with another person. There's already a word for what the writer wanted to convey, but the person's mind and writing were full of academic sounding words and forms that are tedious and sometimes obscure.

It's my guess that back when graduate degrees were rarer, the candidates were actually gifted intellectuals who did not worry about articulating their thoughts and discoveries. They arrived to grad school having already established a voice and ability to array information in a natural way.

I cringe when I hear someone talk about what the data says. Where I work, we must seek "data-driven" solutions. 

This shit will all pass when some other arcane or needless phrase appears from some doctoral candidate striving for a new expression to distinguish their largely useless investigations from the other useless investigations conducted on nearly the very same subject.

Don't get me wrong. I'm sure the elite intellectuals who defined graduate degrees in the past are still present in that system and doing brilliant, useful work. I also think peddling grad degrees as a resume enhancer is a racket kind of like student loans. $$$$

I write for a living. I'm sensitive to overuse of the arcane. I'm not an elite writer, but I know what I'm doing and don't copy a template. Those who need one are not elite intellectuals in my humble opinion.

Well, in this day of specialization and poor basic education, even the very learned in their field are often very poor writers.  And that's been true for a very long time.  Theses and dissertations outside the humanities, and a lot in the humanities, I'd wager, will make your eyes bleed.

At nearly every mentorship or informational interview I have, I tell grad students and interns to learn how to write clear declarative sentences and to practice turning five pages of work into one. Without AI.

I work with a lot of technology architects and work with them on written and live presentation comms.  It's always a battle to elevate the message out of the SME level they like to live in to something the rest of the world can understand that they are taking into account important constraints and objectives.  They will talk about the what and how all day but completely forget why we're doing it in the first place.

Yeah, I had one woman coming on to me hard when I was still single and she said her theme song was "Strong enough to be my man" by Sheryl Crow so I listened to the lyrics and said "nope"

Joseph diGenova, who has spent the last several years running around every cable news program he can find stanning for Donald Trump, just got his SSN and other personal information leaked when Trump declassified the JFK files in the typically slapdash manner that we have come to expect from this Administration.

So that's fun.

I’ve lost the ability to critically think here lately but not vaccinating for measles is fucking child abuse and I don’t understand how they can get away with it. Maybe I should not believe in paying taxes.

Don't worry, pretty soon it will be illegal to vaccinate your kids.

If you ask them, they have vague but extremely strong beliefs that vaccines are dangerous. And it's RUDE (!!!!!) to point out their delusion

I note the inclusion of language saying “Biden-era” - to remind them what they could’ve had… and who to blame for them and their relatives and neighbors being rounded up. Not an accidental placement.
