So this evening I find out if my dads prostate cancer which came back a few weeks ago after he beat it once has metastasized or not and the result of probably the future of america and the world generally. I feel kind of numb but also like I want to cry a lot. It’s a very weird feeling.

It’s in the lymph nodes but not the bone. Very positive overall compared to how it could have been. I’ll take it as a win. I’ll be satisfied with the same from bernie.

Also, Brit Hume gloating over a screenshot with Trump at 56.5% to win (it’s because he thinks Trump > Bernie).
Seriously imagine thinking Trump being favored to win is anything but a red flashing warning light. That’s about 500% more important to me than who wins the primary. Unless it’s Bloomberg ldo.
Went to a buffet alone for lunch today for the first time in my life. AYCE sushi. You know… I don’t even feel bad about it…

The bullshit they send us chasing our tails to refute, then they instantly forget and move on.

You’re gonna start hearing a whole lot more about Hunter Biden. How’s the caravan progressing?
There’s currently a Reply All thread going through my firm. Hundreds of emails right now, and I’m wondering if the whole firm is on it (it’s a big company). Amazing to watch, it’s more contagious than the Coronavirus.
Those things are hilarious. We had one at the 35k person company I worked for. It went on for over a month. This was early 2000s when email was still a bit novel, and a lot of people worked in labs and shared a computer for that stuff. It would die down by the end of the week. Then a bunch of people would come back from vacation on Monday, see 800 emails, and start replying-all “Please take me off this list.”
It seems like corporate email systems should have a kill switch for email threads.
one would think
Usually the kill switch is the CEO or a high level VP sending an email to cut the shit. That seems to work most of the time.
Some of these geniuses have changed the subject line, defeating anyone filtering by conversation 
One person responded “WASH YOUR HANDS” which was perfect.
In my case people weren’t doing it wittingly. They thought they had somehow got on some crazy internal mailing list.
So in those cases, replying-all to tell people to stop replying-all - didn’t help at all. In fact after the first dozen or so, half the reply-alls were people telling people to stop replying-all. Then of course we got the reply-alls telling people to stop telling people to stop replying-all.
Reply all is the worst feature of email. I tell my staff if they use reply all every person on the chain better require a real action.
