The more we try to "tighten" the prose, the more we loosen our grip on reality. Sometimes, the first draft is the only one where the sender is actually awake.

My employer is pushing us all like crazy to incorporate AI into as much of our work as possible. I've been forced to sit through meetings, long meetings about AI and all the ways they want to use it. Then they made us all write down ideas for using AI in our daily work.

I have absolutely no fucking idea how to do that. I don't want to do that. I do not want it to BE. It will not work, and it makes no sense.

I hope I make it to retirement.

We're ruled by idiots in all facets of our lives.

Costco stands out as a rare example of a major company defiantly backing its diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts despite widespread corporate pullback under political and legal pressure from Trump's administration. While giants like Target and Walmart scaled back their DEI programs, Costco kept its commitment, defended by its board as a driver of innovation and customer satisfaction. Internal polling shows overwhelming shareholder support against anti-DEI motions, and CEO Ron Vachris emphasizes that diversity is a business asset, even as the company acknowledges a predominantly white management.

Costco defied Trump’s DEI directive as Target and Walmart scaled back. Business is booming

Many companies have dialed back their DEI programs since January 2025, but not Costco.

This is the part everyone keeps skipping: corporate team building runs on psychotic good-vibes-only enthusiasm and laminated “trust exercises.”

We should really consider a more European-medieval model.

Mounted jousts.
First-blood duels.
Competitive drinking tournaments.
And, for strategic alignment purposes, perhaps a modest attempt to conquer Paris.

At least performance reviews would finally mean something.
