Just thought that I'd share with you that Glassdoor uses public data to add your name and other personal information to your account, so you should probably deactivate your account.  Not delete your account; there's no option for you to be able to remove all PII from their website (cries in American)

If you don't know why this is bad: Glassdoor is a website designed to collect anonymous reviews of employers, so that people can get an honest idea of how it is to work there.  Linking any personal information means that people can lose their jobs.  But they developed this whole other site called Fishbowl to connect people, which needs your real name, and decided that you have to have the same account for both services, and if they can get your real name from any other service, they should go ahead and automatically add it to make it easy on you.

In any case, you should now consider Glassdoor fully compromised.  You will have to add personal information in order to get to the page to deactivate your account, such as your birthday and real name, but they don't have to be your real real name.  Lots of folks born on 1970-01-01 I'd think.

We're going to be having a general election at some pint before next February. It has to happen because requires by the constitution. And whomever is helming the Titanic that is Fine Gael is going to lose it spectacularly. An implosion that'll make Oceangate seem like a 'pop' in the ocean. It seems to me then that Varadkar has decided it's time to go down with the ship like the Captain of the Costa Concordia.

His legacy includes being Irelands first openly classist Taoiseach. Overseeing the continued successful inflation of housing prices into stratospheric unaffordability. Gutting of frontline military, healthcare and policing services to the point where the State can maybe get one ship to sail. And the creation of a rent-seeking economy that has seen one of the States primary export be well-trained and motivated people who just can't take the sense of being utterly leeched of life anymore.

And, begrudgingly, significant successes in navigating the waters of Brexit and the first few months of Covid.

It seems the final straw was the utter lack of a bloodbath over the Ides of March. Not even You, Brutus?.

There isn't even a fart of a squabble to take over. That seat's fucking glowing radioactive, ready to burn the next poor arse to sit on it to a crisp. Malcador had an easier time on the Golden Throne. The next election will be bloodbath enough. It doesn't matter how great the economy is on paper, everyone's fucking misereable, the gloom-times are getting gloomier and maybe Bertie had the right idea all those years about what we should go do about it. Nobody sane will touch it, lest their career be tainted forever.

I don't give a fuck. I'm voting Social Democrats. They'll never win anything but I can't bring myself to vote for the others.

For the first time in the West a singular platform will become the streaming home of the legendary anime franchise—albeit with some frustrating absences.

The USA gets a four-day work week ... which is likely to die in committee somewhere.

Canada gets legalization of marijuana ... but we actually got that passed.

This shows something about where our two countries' priorities are. I'm just not sure what it shows...

So I was just poking at Google's Gemini tonight, and asked it about a couple writing projects. It surprised me by knowing about Fenspace:

   

And it had a surprising grasp of at least the broad strokes:

Wanted to show off - which do you think is best?

A day late, but...


Happy Pi Day to you

One chamber in the government of the country that takes pride in free enterprise -- the USA -- has passed a bill forcing somebody in another country to sell a business or stop doing business in the USA.

Yes, there's a law in China saying companies based there have to give data to the government. The only difference between that law and the one in the USA is that the Chinese government doesn't need a warrant.

Oh, look: somebody who used to be in the cabinet is thinking of buying that company. It must be nice to be able to have your political buddies force a competitor to put their business on the market.

Meanwhile, no news as to whether China will force Coca-Cola to sell off its Chinese operations in retaliation.

Giving my shoddy drawing a thread of it's own.

Chibi Neph wanna fight!
