Rest In Peace, Mamba.

“Two weeks”

[Robert Costa @costareports]

“Whatever the case, Trump is forging ahead. When I asked him how quickly he might turn things around, he said, ‘I don't know. It's probably two weeks, three weeks.’”

"Many of the (Republican) chat members already work inside government or party politics.

"One serves as a state senator.

Sotomayor concludes again with just how TERRIBLE this decision is: "After today, [freedom from arbitrary enforcement] may no longer be true for those who happen to look a certain way, speak a certain way, and appear to work a certain type of legitimate job that pays very little

i work at meta. hr systems. mostly comp processing. quiet job. stable. sometimes i daydream about retiring in portugal.

today a package hit my queue. base + bonus + equity. looks normal at first glance. then i open the details.

$1,000,000,000
over four years.
plus signing.
plus year 1 minimum: $100m.

i stare at it like it’s a typo. check the name. triple check the level. researcher.

coolcoolcool. so now i have to enter this into workday.

i paste the first number, field throws an error.“value must be below $99,999,999.”
lol. okay. i try splitting it. base in one bucket, equity in another. nope. i try scientific notation. it rounds it down.

the system can’t HANDLE a billion dollars.

i call someone on payroll infra. tell them i’ve got a 10-digit comp packet. they think i’m joking. i forward the req. they go quiet.

“we’re gonna need to escalate this,” someone mutters.
“to who?” i ask.
“god, maybe.”

next thing i know zuck’s chief of staff is in the thread. now i’m in a thread with zuck. because of a number.

then i find out the guy declined the offer.
just said no. no negotiation. no counter. just… no.

i’ve been maxing out my 401k for 11 years & this man said no to a billion dollars like he was skipping dessert.

i close the ticket. delete the draft.
go for a walk.

& then i rethink everything.

@PatrickJudis It gets even worse..

[Josh Bowe @Boweman55]

according to cleaning the glass, with luka doncic on the floor this season the mavericks defensive rating is 110.3. with anthony davis on the floor the defensive rating is 112.5 (still good imo). obviously much more goes into this than these numbers, but that's kinda funny.

[Sheldon Whitehouse @SenWhitehouse]

It’s incredibly weird how many people around Trump seem to get an unhealthy pleasure from other people’s pain, distress, and humiliation. It seems abnormal.

a play in four acts

[Tom Dreisbach @TomDreisbach]

As Donald Trump prepares to pardon people convicted for their role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, it's worth looking at what leading Republicans said in the immediate aftermath of that day's violence.
