I’m not clear on why on-air talent for a show wouldn’t be eligible to be credited if the show won an Emmy.

Basically an executive at ESPN wanted the on air talent to get statuettes too, so he submitted fake names, had them re-engraved and gave them to them to the on air people.

Not much of a scandal.

Exactly, just more propaganda. Remote work is the future.

I’ve seen the Joe Rogan and Dr. Phil ads mentioned in the article, as well as George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and others. I’ve reported the ads multiple times.YouTube needs to squash this NOW instead of just pretending they aren’t aware of it.

Any company that thinks remote work isn’t the future is going to suffer dramatically over the next decade unless they adapt.

If that were true, they would have had a better fiscal year in 2023. 2024 won’t be any better, because their management is not adapting, they are blaming others for their failures.

Nobody is suggesting that. The suggestion is that we stop automatically assuming someone believes something just because they are a certain age. We should judge people on their beliefs alone. If someone is a Boomer racist, they are a racist who happens to be a Boomer and never grew as a person. If someone is Gen Z and a racist, they are not racist because they are Gen Z, they are just racist.

I know people in Gen X who claim to not understand ‘anything about computers’ and I’m clueless how that happened. We had computers in the 70s and video games in the 80s. We were labeled the ‘slacker generation’ because of our Apple computers and video games, and somehow there’s a wide swath of people who just made the decision to be ignorant by choice of all of that. Are Gen X people just computer illiterate? They certainly shouldn’t be, so if they are, it’s by choice. If someone is a Boomer and a racist, it’s by choice, not by age. There will absolutely be people in Gen Z who turn 40 years old a in a couple of decades and claim not to understand something that they have right now.

I also know quite a few Boomers who are completely openly accepting of LBGQT people and every race. At the same time, I know a lot of young tech guys who are clearly misogynistic and racist, if not overtly. I judge them on their beliefs and if they are trying to evolve, not their age.

The underlying point is not to march alongside someone who disagrees with you, its that there are Boomers and Gen Xrs who agree with you and they’ve been waiting for enough young people to join them. It’s not just Bernie Sanders and no other Boomers. The same Gen X people who grew up on Public Enemy and Rage Against the Machine and still fight for the beliefs espoused in that music are here. We are frustrated that so many young people just seem to want to check out, when we’ve needed them to help us win these battles for so many years.

When I first became an atheist, only 9% of the US was ‘none’, meaning atheist, agnostic, or no religion. Now it’s 30%. I haven’t gone anywhere, just happily watching the world change and I know a lot of it is those younger than I am.

It’s not an ‘argument’, it’s an example of how divisively branding entire groups is undermining us. It’s divide and conquer, and it’s working.

We need to work together now, everywhere, to enact change, not wait.

Because apparently quiet a few Millennials and Gen Z have no idea that a huge chunk of the MAGA movement is coming from their own generation. There is no safe ‘generation’ free of idiots, racists and morons.

They see a baby boomer spouting MAGA and immediately make the leap that he’s MAGA because of his age, not because he’s an idiot who has always been an idiot.

The protestors who marched for civil rights in the 60s and were beaten by police and set on by attack dogs were Boomers.

Many of the people who shouted racial epithets at them and cheered on the police were also Boomers.

The protectors who marched against Vietnam and who Nixon hired actors to infiltrate and try to discredit were Boomers.

The actors who agreed to infiltrate the peace movement and discredit it by committing vandalism were also Boomers.

Vivek Ramaswamy is a Millennial.

I’m not a boomer, but I’m old enough to know that any generation who thinks ‘when these old people die, then everything will finally be ok’ are going to be stunned when they find out there are evil people in every generation.

Don’t wait to fight them. Fight them now, in every election, vote for the best available candidate even if you don’t love everything they do, because without incremental victories, getting every single incremental victory you can, you will wake up when you’re middle aged or a senior citizen and you’ll realize you should have been fighting all along, not waiting.

Despite what Wall Street thinks, layoffs are almost always the sign of a poorly run company, especially when they do it multiple years in a row, and really especially when they do it during good economic years.

Data from the last 40 years, when layoffs started becoming commonplace, show that companies who lay off in multiple years, especially at the end of the year, see two things happen: their stock price goes up, and they are out of business within 10 years after starting the practice.

These numbers are just averages, but play the odds if you invest in stocks: don’t buy stocks of companies that lay people off, just as you wouldn’t bet on an NFL team that fires its coach every other year.

This is definitely a warning sign that it will. When your sales are down, and you are incompetent as a CEO, blame the workers, because that’s never worked before in history.

A good CEO would be asking themselves, “what am I doing wrong that I need to fix? Where do I need to change?” Not, “I’m fine, employees just need to work harder and spend more of their finite lifetime on my success.”

Edit because I want to expand on this a bit: What this CEO is doing is not based on metrics, so therefore doomed to fail. There are no metrics that would lead the company to say ‘our workers are lazy, so we need them to not be lazy’.

There are productivity metrics, etc, but - and it’s a big ‘but’ - if those metrics were accurate, they would show specific workers or bottlenecks in your company. If you, as a company, had reliable metrics that stated ‘all of our workers are lazy’ would you really be trying to keep them on, and just get them to ‘not be lazy’? Of course not. This CEO is a fool who lives in a protective bubble.

The metrics they should be looking at: 'what’s selling? what’s not selling? What is our competition (you know, Wal-Mart, Amazon, Target and Costco) selling, because some of them are reporting great revenue numbers (like Costco this week just announced a fucking $15+ dividend and their stock shot up over almost 18% in the last quarter) doing? What are they (our competion) doing that we’re not? Where are they weak that we can exploit?

If we don’t know, why not? How do we find out?

NOT: “Our workers are just lazy, crack the whip.”

Final Edit But This Should Have Been A Blog Post: What this CEO, Niraj Shah, is saying is “my plan is good, the employees just need to execute harder” when in reality he should have metrics to figure out if his plan is actually good since it’s underperforming WayFair’s competitors and determining if they should change direction. A critical part of the CEO’s job is trying to predict the future and steer the company in that direction. When your prediction and plan fail to deliver, you’d better re-assess and quickly change course to adapt. The likelihood that his plan for 2023 was better than his competitors but somehow his employees just didn’t execute is indicative of multiple systemic problems that are all his responsibility: If your plan wasn’t being executed, why did you not know until the end of the fiscal year? If your employees are the problem, what is the flaw in your hiring and ongoing management? Are your metrics focused on ‘butts in chairs’ instead of actual productivity metrics? Is your own management circle reporting correct numbers to you? Do they know what they are doing? Is your competitors’ plan working better than yours, and if so, how in the world woud ‘executing harder’ make a difference?

Track em down and lock em up. They hate America and want to kill anyone who supports our democracy.

They’re also stupid enough to be terrorists who announce their attacks ahead of time.

By ‘crooked’ it means the lettering does not follow the curve of the surface it’s placed on. It’s a dead giveaway of an amateurish photoshop job. Most people know how to rotate a flat image but they don’t know anything about Bezier curves or using displacement mapping.

Yeah, I thought so as well when I first saw it. It’s a pretty obvious Photoshop job - the text is crooked, too small and, sadly, too educated in its prose.

We don’t need to invent fictitious things to find theism hypocritical or logically flawed, there’s plenty of truth out there to prove that.

Google: “Our search results are better than ever!”

also Google: “Publicly pointing out how you gamed our search results will result in us manually deleting your site from our results. Also, nothing to see here.”

According to news reports, he’s already been fired/released.

Not only is this breach incredibly bad - exposing SSN, DOB, bank account numbers, address - the company slow walked reporting what was happening in real time.

The hackers were openly posting about the incompetence of Mr. Cooper’s IT team, so security firms and journalists knew that Mr. Cooper was compromised even though the company stated it was ‘just an outage’ then they claimed it impacted 4 million users, when it turned out to over 14 million. Unreal.

Sidney Powell is one of those people who are incredibly, jaw-droppingly stupid and astoundingly confident that they are smarter than everyone else in every room they enter.

She really has zero awareness of just how dumb the things she says are.

Tickets, yes, door keys, no.

Yet another article that could have been published any time in the past 40 fucking years.
