Curious.
I keep a close eye on the job listings posted to Mozilla's job board. They don't post new job openings very often, so I always want to be tuned in when new listing pop up. All of a sudden, a lot of new job openings have appeared for a company that just laid off 36 people...

fucking hell i hope not
I chatted with Boeing strikers about this.
The contract proposal was announced on Halloween, with the strikers getting contract details in a conference call that night (while many were either out trick or treating with their kids or otherwise having fun). The vote was scheduled for Monday, the day before a massively monumental election.
They didn’t get the pensions they wanted most. This entire thing was timed for maximum anxiety and distraction.
Where are you shopping?
This is what voter suppression looks like.
I grew up in Missouri before moving to Washington state. When I reached voting age, it was (and still is) ridiculously common to see polling places in rural and suburban areas with no waiting to vote. Meanwhile, in the cities (which happen to vote more democratic), you’ll see loooong lines extending outside. When voting facilities and staff are not proportionally distributed to accommodate voter density, you get shit like this; voters in different districts receiving different treatment. And people who live there never know any better to ask for something different.
This all blew my mind after living first in a suburban area, then an urban one, and now living in a state that has done voting my mail for decades. I love voting by mail. It’s unconcionable to me at this point for people to stand for in-person voting anymore.
It’s about time I got my hves back.
I see Pitch; I up-vote.
Oh oh, don’t forget about vocalization of anti-transgender viewpoints: https://www.poynter.org/commentary/2023/new-york-times-bias-reporting-transgender-people/
Regarding the state house candidate in question (Ashley Brundage):
The political newcomer grew up as a Republican but switched parties following Florida laws impacting the LGBTQ community.
Da fuk?
I know we’re supposed to ease up on our liberal purity tests and everything, but this is implying that this person was a Republican until the last few years? That seems…. noteworthy.
Any discussion about rights for transgender people that starts with the roster choices on children’s sports teams is a bullshit discussion. It’s incendiary rhetoric designed to unsettle people who have never engaged with transgender people.
The counter-argument for that should be “do you know how many kids that affects? This is not a serious issue. You know what is? Trans victims of discrimination and hate crimes. That’s what we should be talking about, not some kids’ soccer league.”
Start treating this talking point like the ridiculous corner case that it is and pivot to the real problems.
