  • It’s true. I have had a good number of jobs, I come, work on things, make improvements, then move on when I’ve grown or they are in a better spot. I honestly thought I was the guy coming in to help fix things and then move on once things are stable.

    Instead, I have created a series of opportunities for them to blame the last guy to leave.

    No matter how good of a job you do, unless you are there to remind folks, they will forget and use the easy scapegoat. I’m still very popular with the folks I worked with on the ground, but management types are primarily after someone else to blame…












  • In that case I’m extremely glad I’m the obtuse one.

    Your initial comment read to me like you were upset about the “double standard” of tuenip being held accountable for his chosen literature while defending the ones mentioned in the article. I thought you were trying to paint the author as a hypocrite for defending some but not all. I really did read it as someone trying to say, “oh yeah, you say content doesn’t matter but then the left comes at the president for his content”.

    I’m so used to seeing fascist takes having become mainstream that I’m overly sensitive. Apologies.


  • Don’t be so obtuse. African studies and Foucault are not in the same orbit as hitler. It would be maybe notable if a public figure kept a copy of “Discipline and Punish” on their nightstand, would be sorta weird nightly reading and would be good evidence that this person is likely to be strongly influenced by or sympathizes with Foucault.

    Reading once, studying in school, etc. are a world apart from reading often enough that you need to keep a copy that accessible.

    Let’s also look at these specific people. Remind me how many folks Faucault had murdered?

    Lastly, let’s look at the words and behavior of these people in context, not just judged by the words he read. I’ve read lots of nasty shit, but don’t act like a nasty shit. Tuenip has read hiter and now we have concentration camps, imprisoning and denying food to American Citizens.

    Nuance is a thing.




  • oh please, this is the republican version of an arranged marriage.

    Here’s my conspiracy brain take. With turnips rapidly declining health, they know they need the next puppet to take his place. J.V. dunce is all they’ve got but his wife will never be accepted by the cult. So, this kirk shit happens and all of the sudden they have an already cult approved stepford wife, complete with a perfect sympathy story for cover (‘he was helping me with my grief and it just happened like it was meant to be from god!’).

    If any of this happens, it just feels too cooked up, a desperate throw of the dice. But, I think the magats are just the right kind of stupid and evil for it to work.

    This is all just insane ramblings of a bored nerd.
