Back in the day, when Usenet and email were becoming popular, we used to have the idea of putting controversial keywords as a signature with the idea that if the NSA (or whoever) were monitoring people's communications, the sheer volume of jokers doing this would gum up the works of the Panopticon.

Glad to see that this tradition is still alive in the so-called "AI" age.

Identical twins with a flair for mischief were in a race against time. Their parents, unsuspecting victims, were engrossed in a particularly dull documentary about the history of doorknobs. This was their window of opportunity. The boys had rigged a bucket of glitter and confetti to tip over when their dad opened his office door. Now, they just needed to #distract their parents from leaving the couch.

As the chess grandmaster sat & contemplated his next move his mind was laser focused. Years of practice & experience written on his face. It was a beautiful day in the park & a crowd had begun to gather as the, at first private, match proceeded. A low chatter & whispers were carried on the wind. Such was his concentration that he was unaware of their presence. Nothing could #distract him not even....

"Ooooh! A squirrel!", he exclaimed as he ran away in pursuit.

What with all the #weaving and #dodging going on as Trump tries distraction after distraction, desperately trying to deflect attention from his long-term friendship with Epstein, and the various related allegations, like the women who have stated Trump groped them as minors when presented to him by Epstein, it seems like no-one has noticed the good that has come out of this mess.

If you listen carefully, you can actually hear Melania re-negotiating her pre-nup again! At least someone is benefiting.

A psychopathic president.

‘Longwell estimated that Trump might be trying to get people to look in a different direction after he backed down on his trade war.
"…like a guy with a laser pointer and the media is a bunch of cats. Is he trying to get people to chase things so they stop talking about the fact that he caved and did a total about-face on the tariffs after telling us for days that he wasn't going to do a pause? And now he's suddenly pausing because the world economy is collapsing. Is he doing this as a distraction?"
She then noted that targeting people like this can scare others away from leaking information to the public.
"And what he's trying to do here, though, is to make people afraid of speaking out against him.

‘Trump is trying to intimidate his staff from speaking out during this administration, she continued

…I mean, this is some of the most insane authoritarian stuff we've seen out of him."

Trump’s Border Czar Tom Homan is complaining that mass deportation is harder than he thought it would be.

In an interview on CNN, Homan whined that undocumented migrants living in sanctuary cities are too “educated” about their rights, and that makes them “very difficult” to arrest. Homans statements are another example of the Republican habit of saying the quiet part out loud, implying that the Trump administration blatantly and criminally intends to violate the rights of migrants, and would rather keep those migrants uninformed of their rights in order to facilitate unlawful deportations.

Homan brought up Chicago, a well known sanctuary city, as a case study. “Chicago—very well-educated,” Homan said. They‘ve been educated on how to how to defy ICE, how to hide from ICE. I‘ve seen many pamphlets from many NGOs: ’Here‘s how you escape ICE from arresting you. Here‘s what you need to do.’ “

“They call it ‘Know Your Rights.’ I call it ‘how to escape arrest,’” Homan said, failing to understand that these two ideas are one and the same. America guarantees human rights protections to citizens and non-citizens alike, protecting from unlawful arrest. These rights are enshrined in the Constitution under the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unlawful search and seizure and requires law enforcement to produce a warrant before making an arrest. The Fourth Amendment has been a part of the Constitution since 1791, and despite Homan’s wishes to the contrary, it isn’t going anywhere.

Thoughts on Leadership- It is important to not let something shiny and new distract from goals and current projects from being seen through to completion. This is important outside of work as well. #shiny #syndrome #distract #business #leadership #goals #new #shinyobjectsyndrome
