@internethippo.bsky.social once had a tweet that was like “people will talk to you like they’re your boss on here” and I’ve been thinking about it ever since I saw this reply (from someone who doesn’t even follow me!)

It was a common euphemism for Jews who marched with MLK and others
The official 2024 GOP platform makes a reference to "Christian-hating Communists" who the Republicans will keep from entering the country. Back in the early days of the America First movement, "Christian-hating Communists" would have just been a longer way of saying "Jews."

What's a word you pronounce funny because you learned it from. reading? I always pronounce quixotic "keyotic" because I directly connect it to Don Quixote ("Key-hotay" in Spanish, more or less) #booksky
it very squarely fits in the "Manhattan Angst" pejorative but has a lot of thoughts about the place of the postcolonial man of ambition trying to make it in America; of course, it is about the quixotic attempt to build a cricket stadium in Brooklyn. life imitates art! #booksky

recently finished novel: Netherland by Joseph O'Neill (2008). described as "a postcolonial re-writing of The Great Gatsby" which I think is pretty apt. recommended

Attended first ever rugby match in USA. Sold. Nothing better than sitting on a grassy berm eating a hot dog when the sky looks like this.

here is the dirty secret about promotions past a certain point: they suck it’s a ton more responsibility, it’s a ton more pressure, it might be functionally a completely different job, and - mostly - the pay delta isn’t worth it there’s a reason I’ve stayed at my current level (senior) for ages
Dell gave employees an ultimatum to return to office some of the week or accept they were never eligible for a promotion ever again. Half the employees shrugged and stayed remote. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024...
Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”arstechnica.com Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted.
