  1. "Among my #KnowledgeWorker peers, I am hearing this more and more often: people who want to pick up pottery, painting, crochet or other old-timey #analoghobbies. In coffee shops and in the low-lit corners of bars, professionals are sharing dreams of “disappearing” or “living on a farm somewhere” or “going off the grid.” These aren’t fantastical daydreams; they are visions of escape shared in a tone that betrays an underlying existential angst, a fundamental doubt about #work and #careerism inspired by a seemingly increasingly common experience: waking up one morning at an existential precipice, struck with a sudden sense that knowledge work is, and perhaps always has been, pointless. Perhaps you too have felt such a feeling, a rising tide of overwhelming, indescribable melancholy, slowly threatening to envelop you in your Ikea office chair."

  2. Gregg Nunziata: "Senior Department of Justice leadership has willingly put politics before the law, servility to the president before their oaths, and they overseen the destruction of the department. They've either actively done this or have refused to resign with honor; their dishonor should follow them forever."

  3. I also hope that more People of the #USEmpire find the courage to challenge the rules of the game which is clearly rigged against them.

    If all they have is a choice between #GenocideJoe and #FascistTrump, I'm afraid, that's not a choice at all. The "4 more years" chants each time Biden got heckled for his complicity in #genocide seemed no different to me than a typical Trump rally.

    It is beyond shameful, to say the least. This is what #Careerism does to the spine I guess.
