The real story about the Google layoffs is less a story about Google & more about how broken the US immigration system is. How is it that people can be working in a country for 5, 10, 15 years without being granted any kind of stable immigration status? As an American immigrant to Canada, we had permanent residency within a few years. At 5.5 years landed now, weβre in the last steps of the citizenship process. It should not be so hard to get status in a country you live, work, and pay taxes in.
A friend sent this:
βOur six-year-old handed us a note. His teacher had called my wife and I in for an emergency meeting. We asked our son if he had any idea why
and he said, "She didn't like a drawing I did."
We went in the next day.
His teacher pulled the drawing below out and said, "I asked him to draw his familv and he drew this. Would vou mind explaining?"
"Not at all." my wife said. "Family vacation. Snorkeling off the Bahamas.β
Additional searching led me to this tweet from from βRob OβDonnell,β which is the first appearance Iβve been able to find of the supposed βantifa posterβ online. The Daily Mail article was published about an hour after the tweet.

@ScottSoCal @fonecokid I just said something similar. I also referenced the Darwin Awards, because why not.
Zelensky shows sports facilities in ruins: Olympic principles and war fundamentally oppose each other

Many people are prepared to get infected with #covid19 for a meal or a fun event.
I'm not even prepared to get infected with #covid for a family meeting with people whom I haven't seen in more than a year.
People take that very personally very quickly.
But why do I have to give up a part of my health to show my care and love for them, while they refuse to isolate and wear masks to show their care and love for me?
The #pandemic has shown me how one-sided much of my care and love has been.
So... me. Work in aerospace, more space, not as much aero. Can fix my own car, choose not to. Can fix the random appliance of your choice. Hardcore introvert in person, which is why I love online. Lifelong science fiction fan. Read constantly. Scalzi is my favorite author, because he mixes exactly the right amount of snark into his writing. Together with a guy 30+ years, married since it was legal. Own a home in CA and don't plan to leave unless I immigrate to another country.
