Of all the politicians Navatek’s CEO courted, Susan Collins was its most important patron. The senator’s office steered federal contracts worth millions toward the company while her campaign was pumping its CEO and his network for donations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqyiFFB7Kjg

I won't say the remarks didn't happen, but the INSTANT the word "stop" was uttered (as in, "stop, you're embarrassing me" said lightly, because these were my bosses & I needed them not to dislike me) that shit STOPPED. I assumed that came from above.

If your mom's brother is the ceo, you're probably not going to get fired for making suggestive remarks to the receptionist. Complaints might get it to stop for a while, or might not. Might make it worse. But a the office owned by a large bank...

I 'm curious about what it can do - I like devices that make my life easier: roombas, programmable coffee makers, automatic cat feeders. So far I haven't found it useful. I don't need it to draft email replies or make meal plans, things of that nature. Maybe I'm not asking the right questions.

Even in dark times, democracy can renew itself. That’s the quiet power of voting: every election is a chance to refresh the system, correct course, and begin again.

The most important thing I learned about from my standardized testing is that I'm really good at taking tests. Haven't had much use for that skill since graduation but any time that needs doing I stand ready.

Staying friendly with someone who holds social or professional power over you is a way of managing that risk. Reading it as evidence of consent gets the cart before the horse and doesn't acknowledge that risk whatsoever.

On the texts: in my forthcoming article Gossip, I argue that when formal accountability is unavailable or dangerous to invoke, silence and continued cordiality are often rational responses to asymmetric risk.

Once we force the facists back, we should work for Ranked Choice Voting. Under that system here in Maine, we can safely vote third party without risking handing the election to the worst candidate.

remember: it saved no net money, social services US citizens are getting cut, and left the US in a weaker place geopolitically. none of the debates about fiscal responsibility, obligation to US citizens first, or 'hard choices' actually apply. they're all bullshit. killed people for nothing at all.
