What's actually going to fuck up Microsoft is the US' current enshittified federal government, which has caused many other nations across the world to decide to stop using US-based software and pursue their own (usually open-source-based) alternatives.

Some #ICC members, like the #EU, are willing to do "diplomacy" and enter into "dialogue" with those who want to dismember the court because of an "ally", a regime that promotes and tolerates this. Wake up. These are not and should not be our friends. #Europe #Israel #UnitedStates

This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.

Bosses charging ex- or current employees with theft is weirdly common -- I started looking into it once. It's a way to make a person's life miserable and a weird way to claw back wages (by arguing someone owes thousands of dollars for theft).

One thing we need to be prepared for on election night is that there will be a premature rush to characterize the results from incomplete and early results, and once that narrative sets in, it can be hard to shake even as the numbers change. I wrote about this phenomenon in the 2018 midterms:
