  • Robert F. Kennedy had posted this video narrated by Woody Harrelson where he was “setting the record straight” about his reputation and his views. I didn’t know him very well at the time. (I’m Canadian. I don’t follow everything about US politics and the various candidates.) And he had me convinced he wasn’t a bad guy at all. He presented himself as someone who fought for the environment. Someone who cared about working class Americans by defending some people against large corporations, etc.

    However, the more I read about him, the worse it got. His position about the war in Ukraine. His position on the COVID vaccine. His past actions, like dumping a dead bear cub in central park (WTF, for real) among other things. He made some dumb decisions and took some positions that I didn’t agree with. And I realized he was too dangerous to be a world leader. But, I didn’t consider him as someone as fucking crazy as Trump.

    But now… Him supporting Trump and saying he will “make Americans healthy”? Fucking hell. I didn’t think he’d drink the fucking Kool-Aid.

    Like Obi-Wan said: “Who’s the more foolish. The fool, or the one who follows him?”









  • I don’t ever remember Bill Gates or Steve Jobs being good people. Or Jeff Bezos, trying to kill bookstores.

    The guys behind Google seemed okay at first and I think they really wanted to do good. But the way the company culture was built was toxic.

    But in the end it’s all about the greed. As soon as a company becomes public and whose stocks become available on the market, it turns to shit.

    Look at how Steam is going well and actually helping personal computing progress. Gabe Newell is doing a great job because he loves that he does and ensures the people who work for him do too.
