It looks like, besides being the worst patent trolls in the IT industry (do you know that Oracle still holds the trademark for JavaScript, and they’ve been refusing to give up on it for two decades by now, even though they do nothing with it?), besides pushing competition and innovation in the whole industry behind with their hostile takeovers and endless legal trials (remember when they tried to patent the names of Java classes?), besides what they did to Sun (the way they dismembered one of the most innovative IT companies to ever exist is one of the biggest blunders in this industry), besides being given the American division of TikTok undeservely and on a silver plate solely because of lobbying merits, we now have one more reason to hate #Oracle.

Oracle employees who criticize #Israel may now be referred to mental health support services.

There’s a clear name for those who treat non-violent political views they disagree with as mental diseases that should be cured: Nazis. And if Oracle proceeds with these plans then we should all call it out as the most Nazi company on earth, and boycotting everything it touches (which I guess includes their official JVM and their fat enterprise db, not that anybody gives a shit of either of them anyway nowadays) should be a nobrainer.

The time has come for us IT professionals to be more morally conscious in the choice of our employer.

Companies can’t become isolated exclaves within democratic countries where the rules of free speech don’t apply and where employees can be harassed for their opinions. Companies shouldn’t impose restrictions on free speech that the laws of their own countries don’t impose. And, most importantly, they have no power to refer someone for psychological support on the basis of their ideas when the laws of their countries have no such constraints.

If they do, then it’s up to those who work for them to walk out - and to those contacted by those recruiters to politely reply with a “no, thanks”, with the motivation clearly attached.

You don’t want to work for a jerk. And you also want them to clearly know that they’re jerks, and that’s why you don’t want to work for them. Let them recruit only among the ultra-Zionists, and let’s see how far this rotten technological dinosaur and industrial cancer goes.

Regarding the fascist takeover of DC and why the Big Balls Beatdown is a modern Reichstag, if not an outright setup.

1) Trump has special powers in DC that he doesn't have anywhere else, because DC is not a state. This is why DC makes a fecund testing ground for intranational military occupation.

2) Trump is cracking down on this town after some non-white kids allegedly beat up a young neo-nazi who just lost his job at DOGE. 41% of all adults in DC are black, (compare this to about 13% of the general US population), 51% of all the children in DC are black. 87% of the known homeless in DC are black. Trump and Miller are absolutely targeting vulnerable black Americans —particularly children, just by the numbers— out of legal convenience, because we are in the Legal Phase of fascism.

3) Trump is citing weird data from 2023 to support this action, all while saying unhinged shit about DC, much of which is readily fact-checkable. Also he's invading a piece of America over one dumbfuck kid who his Admin fired earlier.

4) As reported, the whole Big Balls story stinks of politically convenient mendacity. Don't get me wrong: I don’t think he *didn't* get his shit rocked.

But I have also been in enough pretty bloody streetfights and bounced enough drunk, violent assholes to know what a person looks like when they're posing for sympathy. That little shit is fucking fine. He got a bloody nose, a little bruising, and pee in his pants, but then he smeared that nose blood all over himself, randomly, and sat pretending to be in a daze for a press photo.

Look at the picture. Really look at it.

The first thing is: why is there SPATTER and clearly-defined finger-smearing all around his body WITH HIS SHIRT OFF? Did he take it off before the fight? Doubtful in a carjacking scenario. This suggests that he took it off after the skrum and smeared his meager nosebleed all over to appear more wounded than he really is.

Do you see any abrasions on his skin, such as would be consistent with a defensive tumble of any kind?

Look around the elbows for rug rashes or new bruises, even a lump, from blocking blows to the head. Nothing. Just splattered blood. Yo: people don't bleed like this. They just don't.

Look at his forearms, around the hips, on the shoulders. No abrasions, no swelling, no hint of a bruise from a deflected punch or a burn around the collarbone from someone twisting a shirt. Just nothing.

This is DC's concrete milkshake.

Yeah, I think he got his ass kicked. But I think he got off LIGHT. He's milking it, and so is the Trump Administration.

And of course, let's not forget: Trump wants you to forget about the Epstein business.
