👀”At least 66 members of an anti-govt group founded by far-right militia figure Ammon Bundy have attempted to win local positions of influence in Republican party in #Oregon.

The candidates stood for GOP precinct committee person (PCP) slots in 3 central Oregon counties in this week’s elections, w some facing no opponent & thus winning their positions by default. The role of PCPs includes electing the executive of the county-level GOP apparatus”

This article on #Workday makes me think that I want not to work for any organization that uses it.

If well-informed self-respecting potential applicants turn away from prospective employers because of such an impediment, might this self-selection also decrease the average quality of candidates for those organizations?

If--as an applicant--I happen to see that yellow arch over the W frowning at me, I'll surely know to turn away, not just because I'll know that applying to the organization sucks, but because working for the organization will suck too.

Cory Doctorow ( @pluralistic ) receives a nice mention.

My friend got a tattoo on his arm that says "comparison is the thief of joy" and I'm really debating getting the same tattoo on my arm but a little bit bigger

Possible interesting trend...

I am subbing in a high school class that, since it is the last day of school for seniors, has nothing to do. Everyone is on their phones, of course.

But the guys in the class are using their phones to interact...they are showing each other stuff and laughing, etc. The girls are intently staring at their screens thumbing alone.

Not sure what to make of this, but I don't think it can be good.

Not linking directly because I don't want to shit on projects I believe are genuinely trying to make the web better, but every time I see a post about "the small web" or a more "humane" web or whatever that includes phrases like this about content: "created without the motivation of financial gain" I sigh so deeply lol

I am begging ethical web enthusiasts to understand what an extreme privilege it is to spend time working on something without worrying about money

I'm not sure it's ever going to be a "thing" like #mosstodon but here's my contribution to #moosetodon.
