Actual causes of burnout, an infographic. There are several examples of various causes of burnout. Here they are one by one, for a total of fifteen: 1. False Urgency: There are constant fire drills, with unrealistic and unexplained deadlines. 2. Unfair Treatment: There is unequal treatment or favoritism that leads to resentment. 3. Relentless Change: Changes in leadership, policies, and the ways of doing things are frequent. 4. Excessive Workload: Work keeps piling up, with no sign of relief or support incoming. 5. Limited Growth: Employees feel stuck in their roles with few opportunities to move up 6. Low pay: Compensation doesn't keep up with hard work and strong performance 7. No balance: Days off, time for family, and time to recharge are hard to come by 8. Micromanagement: employees feel like someone's always watching them. 9. Pressure to perform: Leaders set unreasonable expectations and overreact to mistakes 10. Toxicity: negativity and hostility, including bullying and gossip, go unchecked 11. Lack of support: leaders give little support, leaving employees isolated and stressed 12. Bad communication: communication from leadership is limited, leading to confusion 13. No recognition: leaders rarely say thank you, celebrate wins, or recognize hard work 14. Monotonous work: tasks are repetitive and unchallenging, with no signs of changing. 15. Fuzzy Expectations: the company lacks clarity around goals, roles, and responsibilities.

There's a word for the process: Gleichschaltung "Some officials have referred to the newcomers sent by the White House to federal agencies disparagingly as “MAGA commissars," a reference to Communist Party officials from the former Soviet Union. They are generally young and many do not appear to have particular expertise or background in the portfolios of the agencies in which they are working, according to three U.S. officials, who, like others, spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. They said the screeners seem to be looking for even the slightest divergence between candidates and Trump’s MAGA movement and “America First” policies. A negative social media post or a photograph with a Trump opponent has been enough for some applications to be rejected or put on hold for further review. One official said he and several colleagues from various agencies had been told that even if they passed the initial vetting process to be admitted into the applicant pool, they would still need to prove their bona fides and convince interviewers of their “enthusiasm” to put in place Trump's policies, including by providing references from people whose loyalty had already been established. This official said one colleague who made it to the interview stage was asked when that person's moment of “MAGA revelation” had occurred." #USPol #MAGA

 day 1 executive order of a trump presidency: all VFPs (very fine people) are
 hereby deputized to hunt down the illegals and transgenders. They shall be
 restricted by no law nor act of governance, and their word is compulsive to
 all citizens of the united states. If a person is found guilty of resisting,
 impeding, avoiding, or otherwise contravening their intended justice, they are
 to be treated as enemies of the state and marked as targets for law
 enforcement. From this day forth the old democracy will be dissolved, and in
 it's place we shall serve the new republic empire. long live palpatine, long

 I believe that every address should have a raspberry pi (or other similar
 device) hosting a webpage that is controlled by the person who lives there. At
 a minimum.
 
 They should also be able to host videos and share files easily, in a way that
 anyone who understands a desktop-and-file-folder style system can work with.
 
 This would require serious reform of our internet service provider
 infrastructure. Or perhaps it'd be as simple as flipping a switch, who can say
 
 (engineers working at comcast for example could say, gee sure would be nice if
 this was a tech community)

║ │ NEW YORK—Admitting that they had been working for several years without any discernible success, FBI agents confirmed Wednesday that a local left-wing political group was too disorganized to infiltrate. “We’ve had a few guys in there posing as members and trying to manipulate them into committing acts of violence we can arrest them for, but these people don’t ever do anything violent—they don’t ever do anything at all,” an undercover FBI agent told reporters, adding that the agency believed they’d made headway with turning the leader of the Liberation Socialists group into an informant until the guy didn’t show up to a meeting for months. │ ║

║ │ “These people are incredibly disorganized. We try to attend their meetings to get them to unwittingly work on our behalf, but half the time no one shows up but the undercover agents, and the other half of the time the meetings are so confusing it’s impossible to follow what they’re actually trying to do. We also tried to sow division in their ranks to ensure that they couldn’t become powerful, but that didn’t work because these people already all fucking hate each other. They spend all their time arguing about minutiae, and most of the time when we try to talk them into doing something violent to the communal spaces in their community, they don’t even know where to go. They’re just a mess.” The FBI agent added that he was worried the left-wing organization was on to him, as he’d already aroused suspicion by interrupting a meandering discussion of principles with a straightforward plan of action. │ ║

Person 1: We need a "Children's Video Game Network" with sesame street philosophy but for games. Not creaky educational games. In fact, I don't care if they are educational as much as I care if they are of a high artistic caliber, thoughtful, fun and both free and free of advertisements. I'm not saying such games don't exist, but there isn't really a plan to make them. Really all modern content forms are weak in this area. Ambitious to say with PBS gone? Yes. But also it can't just be TV. Person 2: what if we hired the people who used to work at PBS at video game studios creating specifically games for children

The response says "Possession of the cactus is legal but cleaning, removing the spikes, and blending about 18 to 24 inches of it to boil for about 4 hours until it's a gelatinous brown liquid you then strain through a cheesecloth or tee shirt before consumption is not, so, definitely DON'T do that."
