Elon Musk takes to X to beg retired air traffic controllers to return to work: ‘There is a shortage’

I used to work for Amazon in a division I didn't feel grimey for. Spent over 7 years of my life in that division, doing great things and recurringly got top performer review status and was even awarded role model on top of that on several occasions.

Then they laid me off in 2023, after my latest review of "top performer" & award of "role model".

About 2 weeks ago a recruiter reached out to me for a role in AWS and I responded with, "Amazon shouldn't have laid me, a top performer and role model, off if they'd like me to work for them."

ATCs should give this response to Musk.

Do not treat neuro divgerent people with training wheels.

I'm neuro divgerent and it pisses me off when people treat me differently. Yeah, I've got my shit, and I often need things explained to me with clear guidelines, rules, and expectations.

But one thing my neuro divergence doesn't grant me is the ability to act like a shit stain and get away with it while prodding everybody around me antagonisticly.

Harris picks Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz as her running mate

I was hoping it was Kelly or Walz over Shapiro.

To me, as Bernie Sanders flavored "Socialist", Walz is an amazing pick.

However I had a preference for Kelly since I strongly believe that his history as an astronaut and his popularity in a state like AZ could help drive a lot of independent voters to the Democrat's platform come November.

All that said, progressives know that progressive policy is also extremely popular when messaged broadly and communicating the benefits to the invidual and country. Hopefully Kamama & Walz use their experince with their A* campaign team to drive that home. And then fucking deliver.

If it's not broken...

HDMI/Composite to coax convertor if that TV was recent enough to be "cable ready", otherwise you'll then need a coax uhf/vhf/fm adapter in the chain.

IIRC, back in the day, there were even composite-to-vhf adapters, but I can't seem to find any currently sold so either my memory is lying to me or they're no longer produced.
