We have been trying to replace coders with some technology since at least COBOL.

Two of the most valuable things I learned studying psychology came from an Intro to Social Psychology course I took in 2006.

The first is the Fundamental Attribution Error, which is people's tendency to attribute other people's behavior to their inherent traits, but attribute their own behavior to circumstances.

In other words, I tend to believe that other people do bad things because they are bad, but that *I* do bad things because reasons.

So the US recently forced the Dutch to remove a memorial to America's own Black soldiers that died liberating the Netherlands from the nazis? On brand.

Towards the end of WW2, the French were shocked when the US refused to let its own Black soldiers join the celebration of the liberation of Paris.

The 761st Tank Battalion was an all Black tank unit that served with distinction as part of Pattons 3rd army. They killed a lot of nazis, and liberated over 30 French towns, and much of the Netherlands.

If you saw their Black Panther logo? It was all over for you. Black Panther beats German Panzer.

These elite Black soldiers racked up victories.

But they weren't immortal, and they didn't have superior weapons to either the Germans or white American soldiers. They were just brave. Many Black soldiers died freeing Europe from the nazis.

Europeans were grateful.

Racist Americans? Not so much.

Essentially, the government shutdown represented a Democratic Party effort to present itself as opposing the Republican agenda despite lacking the political power to halt it through the instruments of the state.

It was always performative.

As Donald Trump consolidates autocratic control, real opposition will require grassroots forms of outright resistance. No one is coming to save us.

So here’s a different proposal for how to address the shutdown of the US government: make it comprehensive and permanent.

Still thinking about this story. Imagine how cooked your brain has to be on Fox News -- how terrified you have to be, every day in your isolated suburban castle -- to start *shooting* when you see brown people at your door, before the door is even open. We're such a nation of terrified cowards.

I want to try this again with more reach.

I want to help my employer #fedihire you, and get you #fedihired.

Do you want to teach ICT/CS/IT/etc in Japan?

Because I am currently stepping in to take these courses but I am the head of IT, no longer an active teacher.

The school uses the UK curriculum, does help with residency for those outside of Japan, has a union.

Teaching credentials preferred, but how they factor in can be variable.

Take my work... please!

This is your periodic reminder that if you think the Democratic Party needs younger and more progressive leaders, there’s no reason that one of those leaders can’t be you.
