I hate this talking point tbh
Hitler studied art, Goebbels studied literature, Goring studied history, Heydrich studied music
Clearly humanities didn't make them not evil!

@opinonhaver Tech people with no grounding in the humanities is how *gestures wildly* all this happened.

For any post-doc or grad student: pitch me one study (high level, ~1-2 paragraphs) that you would like to do and that's close to what we actually do. If it's interesting and logically presented you will get a Zoom interview.

I'm a little embarrassed but I guess since I have tenure I should be open; I caused the hurricanes. I can control the weather and double clicked out of habit. My mistake everyone.

This discourse is funny. CEOs are, in my experience, some of the most miserable people in the world. If they're going on "discovery" trips with drugs, they are already on their way out. It's not causative.
They're not diverting into making rockets and curing cancer, they're diverting into blank nothingness. 🤷♂️

This is why I will never call myself pro-union
Union requests are not inherently good and should be supported or rejected on the merits. The dockworkers are just straight up rent seeking and make everyone else in the country worse off across all income levels

The ban on automation is also critical to secure their jobs for the long haul.
One union-produced study found that robots eliminated 5% of port worker jobs on the West Coast.
That would mean more than 2,250 East Coast workers losing their jobs.

Gotta say, I think making "weird" into an attack doesn't land well with me. "Creepy" would have been better, but I thought we had reclaimed weird as a good thing.

@jane_coffin @mrrdesign @FU_Berlin Obviously I gave up trying to find the LEO Panelist's twitters but it was Joanna Kulezsca (Lodz University), Berna Akgali Gur (Queen Mary University of London), Jianping Pan (University of Victoria), and Tony Li (Juniper Networks).

This is a long screed for a short story. Democrats haven't lost "tech" they've lost VCs; this is because the incumbant monopolies (Google, Amazon, etc) have achieved regulatory capture of the democratic apparatus and are starting to leverage it.
Why the Democrats Lost Tech
And How to Win it Back 🇺🇸
