“What Goes Around Comes Around”: Justice Breyer Again Warns Against Court Packing
By the time western civilization came to realize Marxism was a failed experiment, the lives of over 100 million had been lost. It was a war supposedly in favor of the working class against capitalism – a road to hell paved with good intentions.
Today’s postmodernists, or Neo-Marxists, want us to focus on the struggle between the oppressed and the oppressors. Identity is their god. They reject objective reality, biology, and the human condition. They have their own book of “newspeak” called the language of incivility. Mothers should be called “birthing people” for example, because men can get pregnant too.
So, when I diss BLM or DEI, or identity politics in general., you know where I come from.

Took and passed my ham radio Technician test on Saturday (6/5/2021) online via Zoom with GLAARG. Testers were very friendly and helpful. They submitted my paperwork the following Monday and the FCC had me registered (KN6PEM) before the day was over.
Looking forward to experimenting with D-STAR and other digital voice modes.
If you’re a sysadmin long enough, I guarantee one of your biggest pet peeves will be people telling you what command to run, rather than what their problem is. Trust me, suck it up. Be polite. Solve the problem the right way.
Just finished watching the Theranos documentary and this was my take-away.
Below is an actual email I received from a technical recruiter. I’ve changed the company’s name to “ACME” to protect the innocent:
Subject: Nice profile!
Hi Kevin,
After reading through your profile 3 times, I couldn’t help but reach out.
We’re ACME, a Los Angeles based tech company shaking things up in the Programmatic Advertising space.
We’re growing at 70% annually and have a new role for an Information Security Engineer. You’re probably not actively looking but so are 90% of the people I reach out to. But once they learn more about ACME, they’re very happy I reached out.
We have a pingpong table, pool table, foosball, and the people here are awesome. Dress code: ties and jackets are not allowed, shorts and flip flops are common.
Come see for yourself, you have nothing to lose and so much to gain. Can we talk?
If I was 30, and it was 1999, this job might have sounded interesting to me. But these days the last place I would want to work is a marketing company with a fraternity like atmosphere.
