I have challenged my own job title throughout my career whenever I feel my role has outgrown it. More often than not, the response wasn’t that my role hadn’t grown, but rather that that job titles shouldn’t matter and that making any issue of it is vain.
“Job titles don’t generally matter much to me, but in this case, having a title represents opportunities…”
A phrase I use is “job titles don’t matter until suddenly they do.”
“There’s a whole bunch of people like me out there that are screwing it up for people like me” is one of the best truisms I have ever heard on a podcast. @RecDiffs
Speaking of 1984…

Today, we celebrate the first glorious anniversary of the Information Purification Directives. We have created, for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology—where each worker may bloom, secure from the pests purveying contradictory truths. Our Unification of Thoughts is more powerful a weapon than any fleet or army on earth. We are one people, with one will, one resolve, one cause. Our enemies shall talk themselves to death, and we will bury them with their own confusion. We shall prevail!
This antifa Seuss comic from WWII seems particularly apt for how staunch capitalists respond to a pandemic.

So he’ll be around when eyes turn toward Kansas City’s racist team name after Washington gets rid of theirs.
I truly miss seeing format icons, especially for file formats that can’t preview anything useful at small sizes.
While I eventually realize this ad is showing someone climbing, at first glance all I see is someone in the midst of devouring various misshapen loaves of bread.
