The Lost Generation essay
I rejoined "Big Tech" 8 years ago and can 100% confirm I saw what you saw, and pretty much exactly as you described it. At one point I recall thinking, "man, I'm fucked next time I look for a job"- not because my skills weren't top notch but because I'm a white male (50+ these days) and everything I was seeing/hearing during out hiring cycles was going super out of the way to not hire white males. I'm not complaining here, just reinforcing that what Bozo witnessed was/is very much a real thing in some fields.

I feel your pain on that one. Sorry, couldn't resist- I'm a bit high right now 😀.

Getting old sucks
Too funny. I've been hearing the term "glazing" used quite a bit the last 6 months or so- prior to that I'd never heard it before. I've never heard the phrase "gassing someone up" but I'm guessing they're similar.

Compensation & WFH debate ($120K vs 240K)
This is where I land. I certainly enjoy WFH but I'd be fine going back into an office regularly for 2x unless it was some ridiculous micromanaging situation with a shitty commute.

I still go to shows there fairly often. I like that the staff don't put up with people talking through/over shows and will respectfully tell them to stfu.

It was a blast- absolutely fantastic show and the sound system setup at Knockdown Center was well beyond what Emo's had for the Austin shows earlier this year. It fucking ruled. @mycox and I bar hopped through Brooklyn before and after the show and eventually called it quits around 4:00a.m. I just got back to my hotel in Manhattan 😀 The crowd here tonight was noticeably younger than the Austin show I attended back in April. Awesome time

He's massively insecure, in case you haven't noticed.

McMurtry in the Gallery last night. Damn good as always with a decent range across his 35+ years of albums, although a little heavier than usual from the last 3. Heading to NYC tomorrow for LCD Soundsystem and other shenanigans.

There's a good chance I'm in for this. Immamac's Zilker home is stumbling distance from my place and at the moment I have no travel plans.

2025 - 2026 Winter Weather
I left Green Mesquite with a to-go Frito Pie maybe 20 minutes ago... and it's one of the best things I've had this year.

Ken Burns: The American Revolution 11/16
He once held an opponent's wife's hand... in a jar of acid... at a party. Finished it this morning- great series.
