The Worst Takes from a Bad Week

Don Moynihan: The Free Press, about to take over CBS News, blames universities for American political violence.

New, from me: It was a terrible week, one that inspired some truly awful takes. The worst was the effort by Bari Weiss and The Free Press to smear universities as "the biggest culprits" to blame American political violence, with faculty training "jihadis." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/the-worst- ...

For the last 30-40 years or so, Engineers are the #1 profession that turn to terrorism.

Engineers are so powerful they need to be grounded.

Engineers are whack. I had one guy that refused to believe the network on the west side of the building was the same as the east side. "That's impossible"
I offered to show him the switches, but he refused. Another idiot blamed IT for the fact that he never did a file recovery on his software.

Yeah... let's talk about everything but the handheld murder machines that are so popular amongst the right wing.

It's funny... they know there are crazies on the loose everywhere you look... but there is profit in arming them... It's a gift that keeps giving... 45k a year is plenty of reasons to keep buying and selling them...

Actually, over all last week was a good week. Stock market went up. Corporate news is being increasingly exposed for the right wing shills they are. There is one less hate filled right wing "influencer" spreading his venom. And I found underpriced workers to paint my house ;).
