Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
[Mozilla CEO Chris] Beard said the remarks indicated a discomfort with diversity that he would not tolerate…”If that’s not actually hate speech, it’s pretty damn close…We are not going to walk that line as Mozilla. So if and when we identify who this person is, if they are an employee, they will be fired. And regardless, either way, they are not welcome to continue to participate in the Mozilla project. It is not who we are.”
The comment that got under the boss’ skin was…
Frankly everyone was glad to see the back of Christie Koehler. She was batshit insane and permanently offended at everything.
When she and the rest of her blue-haired nose-pierced asshole feminists are gone, the tech industry will breathe a sigh of relief.
To which he said,
When I talk about crossing the line from criticism to hate speech, I’m talking about when you start saying “someone’s kind doesn’t belong here, and we’ll all be happy when they’re gone.”
Another Reddit user had some fun, toying with the irony:
He added that such kind of people don’t belong at Mozilla and if they’re an employee he’ll be happy when they’re gone.
I’m so old, I remember when the venerable and respected part of a so-called inclusive culture had something to do with the emulsification of it. Strong leadership, wise leadership, team-building…whatever ya gotta do, to get the pagan goth kids working together with the Promise Keepers, the vegan millennials and the Iraq War vets who go shooting on the weekends…cool kids and nerds…the organization as a whole took a bow, because everyone grew a little bit, and the leadership was thought to have executed a whole series of wise decisions to make it happen.
Something has changed. It’s different now. Seems to be something like “We’re going to ostracize and ostracize, until ‘inclusive’ people are the only ones we have left.” I’m not sure what is the bigger problem: The constant hunt for the next chunk of flesh, just like sharks circling a lifeboat, or the seemingly complete ignorance of the irony.

- CaptDMO | 08/26/2015 @ 06:39Yeah, like indoor Christmas trees, Gris gris (Voodoo), Beer and tequila on Cinco de Mayo, St. Patrick’s day, and celebration of Christopher Columbus for “inventing ” America. Chinese chop seuy, and Pizza.
How nice that the culture of French rioting in the streets has been “emulsified” into “wilding” and looting et cet. !

- nightfly | 08/26/2015 @ 07:48“I’m so old”, etc. Please. They were never inclusive. We saw the same thing when they admitted to being Communists. Play nice, “We all need to work together”, until you’re in power, then Purge, Purge, Purge! They just seem to be doing it early, since the Republicans have stopped them almost every time, and they get stupid(er) when losing……
- Robert Mitchell Jr. | 08/26/2015 @ 08:08Mozilla/Firefox’s hypocritical “inclusiveness and lack thereof” is why I no longer use their (albeit still superior) product. It’s good to know there are still some intelligent people, very possibly still within the company, that have not been ostracized and discriminated against by the lib-inati. They can see the kind of damage liberal “inclusiveness” does to the company. I saw the exact same thing and the damage it did while I was employed at Symantec, when political correctness became a higher goal than either the product OR the customer.
- P_Ang | 08/26/2015 @ 11:38Well which is it., inclusiveness or diversity? Irony, we don’t need no stinking ironing.
