@petergleick where’s the profit in having a backbone?

@randahl maybe they can make him CEO of the soon to be built Donald J. Trump memorial maximum security prison? I’m sure he’ll be much happier there with his ideological buddies than with all those woke three-hugging Californian Apple employees.

@randahl Tim Apple continues to disappoint.

@randahl a core ideology of right wing politics is that laws can be applied selectively. It’s bad enough when that’s applied to fraud, theft, drug use or rape, but the USA seems to have broadened that legal guideline to manslaughter or perhaps even murder. It’s not just the president himself that’s above the law, but apparently anyone that is associated with him. This isn’t going to end well. Not for regular Americans and ultimately especially not for current ICE agents and Trump regime leaders.

@lokeloski I’ve seen this attitude even in some highly skilled people.

The idea that what they’re doing is obviously complex and requires deep knowledge and skills, but work that others are doing is obviously trivial. Very surprising.

It’s not uncommon for undergraduates to assume some field is easy, because the introductory course they had on it was, but for accomplished professors to have similar ideas about fields outside of their expertise? Why? Is there a psychologist in the house?

@thordis @GinevraCat I feel gen-x is the largest group, but I could be wrong. Bubbles form easily.
