Today, Amazon effectively kills support for older Kindles. Not because the screens stopped working. Not because the batteries all died. Because Amazon decided perfectly usable e-readers should be cut off from the services that made them useful. That is not innovation. That is forced obsolescence with a checkout button. Sign PIRG’s petition and tell Amazon to stop bricking working Kindles.

Had a happy thought, lost it from a distraction, now trying to find it again for an hour
I’m off the clock, but I have a work presentation tomorrow morning, so I’m doing a test run while tipsy on cider to ensure it's still easy to follow.
@Alice The people who coded all of the working parts were also tipsy. You're riding the wave.

ProPublica’s board and senior management hide when asked to engage with bargaining. The board meets today, but they won’t meet with us.
We will make our voices unavoidable until they agree to a fair contract, so, today, we welcomed folks to our office with flyers about our fight.

I will say the "paid asset" thing pisses me off because like who the fuck is paying someone to tell you they're ALL corrupt as fuck and we should make hotdogs out of their flesh? Like what rich person is into that? Is BigPoorTM lining my pockets or something?
(Nobody said that this time, but it comes up.)

“We have deluded ourselves into believing the myth that Capitalism grew out of the Protestant work ethic of hard work and sacrifice. The fact is Capitalism was built on the exploitation and suffering of black slaves and continues to thrive on exploitation of the poor - both black and white, both here and abroad.”
