Quiet Quitting
this is a concept that is becoming more and more clear to me in the current stage of my career that I find myself in. I work for a Crown Corporation (non-profit that is really for-profit for the government to the tune of bazillions of dollars). Our BOD is full of provincial government heads, and of course, every dime of…

Police Reform (Please Don’t Call It Defund)
This is how democracy should work. This is how grown ups address an issue. Is it overdue? Sure. Is it perfect? No. Will it make a difference? Time will tell. But it’s the start of a dialog and hopefully, a continuing evolution to make policing better and a safer , more livable society.…

Should I stay or should I go? (ya...I'm staying, lol)
Great song, but that's not what I mean. I'm posting this here because other than "Other Music", AMT is where I spend most of my time when here. So I seriously have to ask, is $35, a 75% increase, for which I gain nothing (I don't do downloads), worth the extra bucks? For myself, and I suspect others here, this is big-time…

Balenciaga
Anyone following this? It is gaining momentum on the conservative side. It was a stupid ad campaign and I would be even more curious as to who greenlighted it. I don't think it was to promote pedophilia but it's sure not a good look. https://www.thecut.com/2022/12/what-to-know-about-the-balenciaga-ad-scandal.html

Keystone XL Updates
I just got off the phone with CA Senator Feinstein's office and they are thrilled that the Keystone XL has been defeated in the Senate. This doesn't mean this is over- no way- but it's a big step in the right direction. I want to reiterate to anyone here who does work related to the oil industry that I am never in favor of…

In Defense of Germany
The country of Germany has been maligned elsewhere on AMT so I'm jotting a quick post in defense of that country. Yes, they have a shady past in parts of the 20th century, but Germany is a good example of how change for the better can happen. I have German friends in that country. I know people who have visited and lived…

Avenatti
This is an odd situation. If he actually did abuse a woman then he should rot in jail for as long as possible, but this smells like a really odd frame job. https://twitter.com/NatashaBertrand/status/1063086853606293504

He almost redeems himself. Too bad he didn't have this fire in the primaries, he lost by being boring. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/kass/ct-rand-paul-kass-0209-20170208-column.html

Scientology
I used to think that Scientology was just a tax dodge...a way for wealthy snobs to make tax deductible contributions to a "religious" organization while that organization provided them with benefits like travel/entertainment/etc These people are fucked.... http://www.xenu.net/archive/infopack/6.htm…
