Yeah, it's funny. I work for a global consulting firm and the number of colleagues I see with an iron ring like me who studied one of the engineering disciplines in post secondary makes it seem like we're actually an engineering firm when we're not. While my studies helps me for some clients and definitely helps me pick things up quickly when it comes to emerging technologies like Generative AI or automation, my work certainly doesn't require me to leverage any of the knowledge I learned (and forgot) during my studies. I agree though - I always say to the young bucks, one of the most valuable things I learned during university was my ability to push through when times are tough towards a long-term goal (i.e. getting a degree and graduating).

Pretty good summation by Jon Stewart.

I mean, Cliff could have just said "Porsche and Volkswagen" and we would have all begrudgingly said "-sigh- Okaaaaay, fiiiiine." You're always making it harder on yourself.

A bad thing the Nazi’s did: created Puma
A good thing the Nazi’s did: created Adidas

It’s all about finding the balance, my grand audience.

A few of the usuals along with Trump in the unsealed indictment........Rudy (of course), Sidney Powell, Jenna Ellis, Eastman, Mark Meadows with 2 counts against him, etc.

I'm just so sad that Lindsay didn't make the grade.

Just spent an entertaining 20 minutes over at Truth Social. They’re predictably outraged. My favourite sentiment is that Trump should start a new party. Yes please, split the Republican vote. Idiots!

Lindsay has to be one of the 30 unnamed, if he hasn't already the weasel will roll.

good. Throw the book at the whole lot of them.

What Rudy and others did to Ruby Freeman and her daughter was so ####ed up. Imagine being a part of the democratic process as a poll worker, only to be viciously harrassed for it based on stupid lies and conspiracies.
