There’s an entitled petulance at play here on Facebook’s part.
Of course there is. It’s Facebook.

The Marriage Of Talent Acquisition With Talent Mobility
Should someone mention to these corporates that they are not ‘acquiring’ ‘talent’ …. they are simply hiring people to do things.
Nice words about my new book from my friend and podcast co-host Stuart Robbins - he even wrote the foreword … Thankyou my friend.

Daring Fireball: The Talk Show: ‘Giddy With Mac-Ness’
I rarely listen to @gruber any more … life is too short to digest 2 hours plus of rambling … but this one features @danielpunkass - so i will make an exception.
Superb book.
Apparently Halloween is here again.
I particularly liked the basket and pulley system for socially distanced candy delivery.
Stupidity seems to be boundless and ever expanding.
In Trump’s first term, the country was protected to some degree by his ignorance and ineptitude. He kept trying to do bad things, but it took him a while to figure out how the controls operated, where the kill-switches were located. By the time of his attempt to extort the Ukrainian president, in 2019, Trump had achieved a higher degree of mastery. But by then it was too late. Then the pandemic struck, and Trump bumped into a new wall of failure. In a second Trump presidency, however, the burglars will arrive already knowing how to bypass the alarms and disable the locks. He’ll understand that it’s not enough to install an ally as attorney general—he must control the secondary and tertiary ranks of the Justice Department too. He won’t allow himself to be talked into another chief of staff with an independent sense of duty, such as John Kelly, who averted much harm from the middle of 2017 to the beginning of 2019. It’ll be Mark Meadows types from day one to day last. And he’ll bring with them a new generation of Republican officeholders whose top priority will be rearranging their states’ election laws so that Republicans do not lose power even if they lose the vote.
That’s the future Trump is preparing.
Be ready.
