@AmazonPhotos why can I not see hidden photos anymore on the iOS app? It seems to have been removed from settings

Sentiment and trust is so bad right now that I’m at the point where I think it’s equally likely that a woke idiot did this to make it look like there’s racism rather than an actual white supremacist
There are hand-drawn swastikas all over the entrance to Union Station in DC. Almost every column:

Tale of two states: MA: couldn’t schedule tests less than two weeks out. Had difficulty finding at home tests. Florida(Miami): can easily find public tests on almost every corner. It’s easy to see which leaders will be looked at favorably 20 years from now
As a native Bostonian, I'm absolutely disgusted at the divisive authoritarian actions of @wutrain @MayorWu . I'm so happy I moved but ashamed of what it has become.
When I receive recruiting emails and the contact has their biologically native pronouns portrayed in their profile I immediately default to: "This company must be a woke cesspool I want nothing to do with" Is it judgy? Probably. But it's also probably not wrong.

I can’t say this anymore clearly If you’re in tech and you believe that it makes sense to unionize or “petition” leadership to effectively bully them You have delusional levels of entitlement If you don’t trust leadership, leave. No one is forcing you to stay.

A reality that I think is essential to think through: You think if they had a vaccine during the Black Death you’d need propaganda/media to convince you to take it? Truth is if it was so necessary you wouldn’t need to convince anyone. Especially with condescension.
‘Grow the f*ck up and get the vaccine’ — These health care workers shared their honest thoughts about anti-vaxxers in this hilarious PSA on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
Just because you generally agree with the party that's doing the tyrannical thing doesn't make the thing any less tyrannical

I will never understand that argument of: "I can't believe this high-growth, disruptive company re-invested everything in R&D so they aren't paying any corporate taxes" Like the government would have somehow done better with that money.

Awesome our move towards looking like SF continues 👍 Thank god I’m out of this city this summer. It’s insane how quickly you can drive a city into the dirt
I am announcing proposed changes to policing in @CityofSanDiego. Through these changes and intentional conversations, I believe we can foster a more equitable police service, do away with antiquated practices, create a safer city, and be a model for the nation. #ForAllofUs
The stupidity of this is mind boggling
Columbia just announced they are hosting *6* separate graduation ceremonies based on race and income level. “Separate but equal” doesn’t work. Don’t send us back 100 years to segregation.
Do not foolishly confuse “nice” with “good.” -@jordanbpeterson
The line is rapidly shifting on what is 'offensive' and I have a lot of questions on where we are headed. My latest: thecontrariansteelman.com/fa…

voter id equals voter suppression in the same way drivers license denies equal access to our roads In short, it doesn't and another (and seemingly common) insane, fear-mongering, radical allegation from our new senator
Right now in America there is a war being fought against democracy. In state capitals across the country as well as Washington, DC bills are being put forward and efforts are being undertaken by Republicans to shut out millions of people from participating at the ballot box.

"To me, governing is no longer about problem-solving. Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Governing has become virtue signaling." My latest on the absurdity that is the California State Government: thecontrariansteelman.com/wh…

Imagine we actually incentivized our teachers to be good teachers? What a world that would be.

What I really want to know is what is democrats line for election integrity? What is too far for them where they are like, "yeah, that will allow too much fraud, let's make sure we know a vote is a vote?" Can someone define that for me? Because I think we passed that ages ago.

Who gets to hold him accountable when it’s clearly shown to be not reckless at all and numbers fall directly in line with his state?
