Oh, look, a “sensitive” warning! (It’s a photo of Shirer’s book.)

The party of Lincoln is now the party of Mussolini. That’s about right.

Ah. Yes, i thought so. You’re about 15 years late, WaPo.

How about: “After Quiet Firing, Comes Quiet Quitting”?

«But if we’re going to accuse workers of quiet quitting, we should also acknowledge the phenomenon of “quiet firing,” in which employers avoid providing all but the bare legal minimum, possibly with the aim of getting unwanted employees to quit.

They may deny raises for years, fail to supply resources while piling on demands, give feedback designed to frustrate and confuse, or grant privileges to select workers based on vague, inconsistent performance standards. Those who don’t like it are welcome to leave.»

K. I’m out, dude.

«Partisan media serves two masters, the truth and the cause. When they align, all is well. When they conflict, you choose. If you prioritize the truth, you’re a traitor; if you prioritize the cause, you’re a propagandist. One recent example of the latter is the left mocking Republicans who accepted PPP loans during the pandemic for opposing Biden’s student debt bailout. The differences between those two programs would be evident to a reasonably intelligent fourth-grader but the imperative to serve the cause by rationalizing Biden’s giveaway forced liberals to treat it as a smart own.»

Thread. More “political missteps” by the Oz campaign:

Welp… I guess Republicans will hate ranked-choice voting even more now.

«Democrat Mary Peltola has defeated Republican Sarah Palin in the special election for Alaska’s vacant House seat, a big upset over the former governor in the state’s first election under ranked-choice voting.

….

Peltola is a part of the Yup’ik indigenous community and has also served as the executive director of the Kuskokwim River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission, bridging over 100 tribes together in Western Alaska.»

Of course… nothing’s ever permanent.

«Just to make it all a bit weirder, Peltola, Palin, and Begich are facing each other again on the ballot in November in the House general election. The winner tonight will serve out the rest of this term whereas the winner in the fall will get a full two-year term.»

[Update] As predicted:

Ha! Use of semicolons to separate phrases with commas! I thought I was the only one!

«Mr. Ryan; Joy Robins, The Post’s chief revenue officer; and Ms. Buzbee, who joined in 2021, are overseeing a new initiative called “5 by 25,” an effort to reach five million total digital subscribers by 2025.»

Everybody hears about inflation; nobody hears about the recovery.

Ooh, this is good:

«Teams that are passionate about something tend to become more passionate over time. But almost with certainty, the broader organization they’re in doesn’t share the same passion.

As teams get more and more passionate, it isolates them from the broader team. Within the sub-team, the feeling grows and multiplies that the broader team “just doesn’t get it”. And within the broader team, the feeling grows and multiplies that the sub-team is “in their little corner”, focused on the wrong things, and hard to work with (because they insist on seeing everything through the lens of their passion). This effect compounds as distrust builds, and can lead to a point where the team is reorged to “fix it”, which can be catastrophic for passionate teams.»

Seems like things might be settling down:
