So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.
And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.
When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.
What then?
Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?
You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.
You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.
You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.
You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.
You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.
You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.
You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.
You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.
You just made women less safe and less free.
You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.
You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!
You just ushered in Fascism.
Because your cereal costs more.
Congratulations.

Harrison Ford: When dozens of former members of the Trump administration are sounding alarms saying ‘For God's sake, don't do this again,’ you have to pay attention. They're telling us something important. I've got one vote, same as anyone else, and I'm going to use it to move forward. I'm going to vote for Kamala Harris

WordPress peeps trying to figure out what to brush up on in this madness - @laracasts is a great resource if you are trying to learn/level up Laravel understanding. Good starting point for a lot of things underlying @statamic , etc.

It doesn't "empower."
It doesn't "enhance."
It's not just a "tool."
It isn't "inevitable."
You say these things to make yourself feel better about using or promoting it.
It DOES regurgitate. It IS theft. It IS a waste of our natural resources.
And it puts humans out of work.

Hit the nail on the head.
Behavioral questions (“tell me about a time…”) are also ableist: unless it’s a prepared answer, they actively filter out ADHD folks (and likely other types of neurodivergence) who struggle hugely with this kind of random recall, yet might be fantastic at the actual job.

When you've finally debugged your code and it runs perfectly, but you're not happy because you don't understand why it suddenly works. This is the true essence of being a developer.
