Sure he did. And the fact that he criticized Putin had nothing to do with it.

@NSalwen It's funny because I made a point to pay attention to the news when he was being dispatched back to Ukraine. This is the kind of thing I expected.

Another weird HR team building event today. Involved balancing a plastic cauldron filled with lucky charms marshmallows on a stop through an obstacle course. The hallway in the office is a disaster now.

I did not participate in this one.

In retaliation for the Associated Press’ refusal to call the Gulf of Mexico to, well, you know, the Trump administration has barred the AP’s reporters from the White House press pool and events.

The AP has been a member of the White House press pool since it was founded in 1846. Having earned the honor of 59 Pulitzer Prizes, the AP is respected for its journalism with a worldwide reach of over 4 billion people per day.

The First Amendment guarantees freedom of the press and the right to free speech. The Fifth Amendment grants due process, and the AP was not given a formal opportunity to challenge the ban before it was implemented.

The AP has sued to regain access, arguing that the administration’s goal is to coerce journalists to use “only government-approved language” in reporting.

"NATO provoked Russia into a self-defensive war against Ukraine's militarization in order to feed the endless military-industrial complex" is such a common Kremlin talking point being spread among the useful-idiot dirtbag left that i'm always surprised when people don't seem to know about it (or notice it being assumed implicitly in stuff like this)


[16:56] Oplichtersbende bouwt callcenter in Drentse vakantiehuisjes. Verdachte nepbankmedewerkers: ‘Kwam alleen maar om te chillen’

Een vakantiehuis in Gasselternijveen was volgens het OM door een oplichtingsbende ingericht als een soort callcenter. Vanuit die recreatiewoning zouden vier mannen actief zijn geweest met omvangrijke bankhelpdeskfraude.

Substantial layoff at Google this morning, locations around the world. IT and helpdesk hit hard. To be fair, they’re hard-pressed, last quarter’s earnings a mere $26.54B, that’s a narrow 27.51% profit margin.

All the money and talent a company could ever ask for, ever, and absolutely no idea what they could be doing with it or why, beyond making one line go up. Just a total abdication of vision.
in reply to mhoye

@mhoye I seen a theory that they absorb talent and pay them big salary with single goal - prevent these talents from creating anything good at competitors companies.

Is there hidden argument for corporate welfare paternalism here?
Google can afford to act as Pullman Company during the Gilded Age, but I don't think that's what we want.

Mega-corps have limited vision. Google don't know how to utilize those people.

In my view the argument should be redistribution of profits by taxation and public welfare.

in reply to tinkel

@tinkel I think (I would like to believe, maybe) that I agree, but argue the opposite - tax rates should be high enough that sitting on your laurels making lines go up is always a low grade existential risk.

I hope when they fuck up/abandon maps, it's a death sign. (Seems unlikely but it's Google...)
