Trying to find a better way to track books I want to read than a random spreadsheet. I had used readinglog.info which was provided by my local public library until they shut down the program. Luckily, I regularly backed it up via their CSV export. I've used Library Thing for years, but adding books for "To Read" really screwed up a lot of the other features of the website, like recommendations, etc. I really love Free Software & the Fediverse particularly. My primary social media account is on Friendica @fu@libranet.de for now everything I post here is automatically "re-tooted" there.

I'm giving my employees the tools they need to be masters of their own destiny. And that train runs two ways. A one-star employee doesn't just bring down the average, they're in a position they're not suited for. You wouldn't take a physicist and ask them to blow glass. Or a butcher and ask them to program a website. People have different skill sets and talents. Yes, Cloud is a big employer, but maybe you're not the right fit for us.

Gibson Wells is the perfect example of CEO. He not only says but honestly thinks he is helping the working class by making it harder to feed their families.

Knowing what I know today, I think there's real irony in the fact that Congress spent all that money to create and rebuild Iraq when it refuses to spend money that's needed in our own U.S. prison system——money to teach real life Improvement skills to men who really need it, for example. Not to mention the insane money our country waste on incarcerating people who could be dealt with, punished, in alternative ways.

Courtney had assigned me to the cubicle of Anthony Dorsey, Sr., a heavyset sixty-one-year-old black man from Baltimore. Shortly after we introduced ourselves, he asked me, "Was nine-eleven a conspiracy?" I laughed and thought to myself, "Everything is a conspiracy man."

During my final processing I thought, "Three years of my life wasted and you're giving me a check for twenty dollars for my leftover commissary?" It almost reminded me of Iraq in 2003, where I watched people step over dead bodies, watch people get used to or ignore death, ignore the destruction.

I liked it, but it would probably be better as an audio book red by Red Green than as an eBook. I'd just feel like it would be more like he's pulling for us and we are all in it together.
Otherwise, some good one-liners (though like any good old-fogey his one-liners are longer than one-line).
