"a team that knows how to work well together" is a hell of a resource, and the way in which corps treat workers as fungible and interchangeable completely ignores the massive synergistic benefits -of- such a close-knit team being allowed to remain together.

Spent the whole day (for almost 12 hours already ​) alone in German train hell.

At least there is #WiFi on these trains (more or less) and I found several ways to improve the qwx #OpenBSD ath11k driver 📶​🚂​

Slightly more controversial addition from me: this is one of the areas where I see women being as much of a driver of toxic masculinity as men themselves are. If you're the kind of person to make fun of guys for having silly little hobbies, for being a bit goofy, could you please stop that?

Men make themselves vulnerable when they drop the masculine act and just let themselves enjoy a thing. And we need more gentle, vulnerable, happy dudes.

Criterion Channel subscribers: If you want to watch a movie that is slow paced but gorgeous, Kaili Blues by Bi Gan and The Tempest by Julie Taymor are leaving the service a week from tomorrow. Also 2046 which I haven't seen but it's Wong Kar Wai so I assume it's slow paced but gorgeous

Also like, four or five short-form documentaries about trans men are expiring from the service at the same time for whatever reason.
