Working retail, helpdesk or fast food I think makes you much more misanthropic. It certainly did me.
Before spending more than a few years on helpdesk I was already a bit of a misanthrope. But after that, it became so much worse.
Do not recommend.

Invalid All The Ways
A big study on COVID remote work using objective data on 10k IT professionals finds pretty bad outcomes for all. The charts tell the story: productivity fell 20%, but output was stable because people worked 30% more hours. Also employees got less coaching. https://t.co/pIVvRbNeCN pic.twitter.com/3KscNWZVoH

Studies about things like this during a global pandemic where people are both traumatized and have bad childcare arrangements tell you just about nothing except that people are traumatized and have bad childcare arrangements.
Information And Its Uses
They want to burn the largest most freely accessible libraries, one of the few successful utopian projects of the 21st century, to imprison anyone involved in building and maintaining them.
The US Gov. is without virtue, should be opposed and degraded at every opportunity. https://t.co/DpBUaak9GL

The huge elite priority now is getting the data genie back in the bottle. It’s mostly already been done for them by corporations (Google, Facebook, Amazon, et al.) but where that has not been practical and achievable, it’ll be done directly by arms of the state.
Most people misunderstand, though. This has nothing at all do with money. That’s just the cover story, part of the flimflam to obfuscate the power relations occurring. It’s truly about who gets to know what and when.
Cough-y Cake
Still imagining an alternate timeline in which our response to determining that there is basically zero outdoor masked transmission was to redesign our ventilation systems and enact new health guidelines so that they don't just recirculate viruses all the time. Ew

But Talia, some nutty buddy lib told me that you COULD still get Covid outdoors, if someone repeatedly spit in your face or held you down and coughed on your for a while, as so often occurs. I mean, it happens to me every time I go outside, as it does with nearly everyone.
So that means we should just hyperventilate about not wearing masks outdoors and do noting else.
See, totally obvious.
Let The Algorithm Do It All
I said earlier that it won’t be long before the libs define any sex as “sex trafficking,” but I think I was wrong about that.
I think they will define even being attracted to someone as sex trafficking.
Normal
As COVID wanes, graduation 2021 disappoints hopeful students.
And they should be disappointed. It’s time to start getting back to normal. The anti-vaxxers and crybaby libs are just going to have to buck up or shut the fuck up.
We have the technology of safe and effective vaccines. Anyone who doesn’t take one, it’s now on them. Need vaccine passports ASAP.
No Pleasure
Let’s Declare This the Summer of Play.
And 50 million liberals cried as one, their tears flooding the streets, sweeping away all before them. They don’t want a summer of play; they want a summer of hiding inside, preferably under a bed while they wear at least 10 masks, wailing about this or that while still refusing to go outdoors alone to even use a grill.
No, there can be no play while there is a yet a virus — any virus — left in the world. No sunshine shall mar their faces while there is merely a fleeting chance that a variant might take out a gramma somewhere, anywhere. And no joy, no merriment, no revelry shall there be until we achieve their longed-for complete safety.
Time Wasters
All the libs are now intent on pushing back on how you might be able to get Covid outdoors, blah blah blah, and not concentrating on what they should be which is on better ventilation and air filtration indoors.
Wasting their time, my time, everyone’s time with their usual virtue-signaling bullshit. Yay.
