  1. Before Grand Theft Autocomplete destroyed most of my industry, I used to say I had something I wished tech company senior management - basically, the C-suite - would understand and take to heart. I haven't got to say it in a while, but feel it needs to be written down somewhere.

    So here goes.

    If you think you can meaningfully motivate tech workers with company-branded knapsacks and tee-shirts, while senior management pockets bonuses and stock incentives worth 6 or 7 figures, you need to start hiring smarter tech workers.

    There is very, very little that is more demotivating than being thrown scraps of useless tat branded with the company logo as a permanent reminder of just how little their contribution is valued.

  3. There was a time when it was all the rage to make your own "Demotivation" style posters. This photo I took of a friend's dog practically wrote itself.

  8. #Phantom #Kamala ads. Using photo of VP Harris & a positive and appealing summary of her policies. And then the ad exposed me, in the same cheerful tone, to a policy that I would not like and which the candidate did not in fact advocate. The neurons crackled, the emotions whiplashed. This was digital #demotivation, something that I have seen and studied in other settings. I was supposed to be driven towards indifference, towards not doing anything, towards not #voting. snyder.substack.com/p/the-phan

  11. 🔴 ça y est, je crois qu'il est désormais trop tard. La flamme est éteinte. Ce n'était peut être qu'un rêve. Il aura duré quelque temps, et puis s'est dissipé.
    Que faut il faire aujourd'hui désormais ? Quelqu'un sauvera t'il son âme ?

  13. Das schlimmste am Sport ist ja noch nicht mal die Überwindung meinen Arsch von der Couch zu heben.
    Aber mit anzusehen wenn die Person neben dir mal lustig 2 Hanteln a 40 kg mehrfach in Richtung Decke stemmt.
