I’m looking for fellow #hampshirecollege alums, in particular because we have a constitutional difficulty developing or trusting in institutions that are supposed to help us stay together.

Please pass this around so we can find each other!

It's almost as if capitalist corporations don't actually care about humans at all.

Can confirm this for Arc, Brave, Edge, Chromium, and Vivaldi on my machine:

Anthropic secretly installs spyware when you install Claude Desktop β€” That Privacy Guy!

Anthropic's Claude Desktop silently installs a Native Messaging bridge into seven Chromium browsers, including browsers Anthropic's own documentation says it does not support, and browsers the user has not even installed.

Trump Blocked From Iran War Plans After Screaming at Aides for Hours

Military officials have sidelined Donald Trump from planning the war he started.

I have double-stuffed golden Oreos.

I know what you're gonna say: "Did you bring enough for everyone?"

YES. Yes I did.

I am not, however, a logistics person, and I didn't really think through potential distribution problems here.

Gosh, it doesn't *seem* like winning.

Wellllll, had to move the office back indoors for tonight and tomorrow. About 10c tonight, and spozedly <4c tomorrow night, and scarcely 14c all day.

Mildly annoying, but I really can't complain. I got two solid weeks of lovely weather outside, and it really only takes 5 minutes to bring it back inside.

Indivisible and other groups are planning a one-day general strike on Friday, May 1st. Yep, that's May Day, long dedicated to workers' rights.

This hasn't been getting the attention that the three big No Kings demonstrations have. But if you've been wondering what to do next beyond standing in a crowd holding signs, maybe one day of economic action should be on your radar.

"No one wants to work, our turnover is terrible!"

Ok, do you pay a living wage?
"No"

Do you give annual raises more than 7%, the annual rate of cost of living increase?
"Also no, but-"

Do you give larger raises and bonuses to execs than to your workers?
"Well yes, but-"

Did you force people to stop working from home in order to justify the cost of maintaining real estate you own?
"I mean, we-"

Do you heavily invest in AI so you can justify massive layoffs?
"Like every other co-"

Do you ask your employees to pick up the slack for the people who have left?
"We had t-"

And did you install digital tools to spy on your remaining employees?
"Look we need to ensu-"

Sounds to me like people DO want to work, you've just made it unpatatable for them to work for YOU.

(Almost certainly apocryphal, but still a charming story.)
