Glassdoor Meltdown as Users Urged To Flee Site After Posters’ Real Names Added Without Permission
NY Post | 03/20/2024 | Ariel Zilber

Glassdoor, the website that allows workers to anonymously complain about their workplaces without fear of retribution, is reportedly revealing staffers’ real names in their profiles — prompting a viral backlash over fears that their identities could be exposed.

… {{{ That’s a tricky word, “anonymously” . . . }}}

Signing up for an account on Glassdoor required workers to reveal their full name, job title and employer — a departure from its previous practice of just requiring email addresses but no names, according to Wired.

(As content contributors, you can consider this a “workplace,” no?)

I’ll be investigating this further — but I fear that will only add a third leg to the triangle.

I confess this all sounds a little weird, but I’ve also confessed that fact to myself, which only adds #4.

Critic Complains That Show Set in 1500s Japan Didn’t Have Any Black Characters
Western Journal | 3/15/23 | Michael Austin

The reviews for Disney-owned FX’s new hit miniseries “Shōgun” have been absolutely glowing.

That is, apart from one notable exception.

The series, based on a 1975 novel by James Clavell, follows the story of an English explorer in the 1500s who finds himself smack-dab in the middle of an intense political conflict unfolding in the Japanese empire.

Though many seem to be enjoying the show, one critic — writer William Spivey — felt it was failing for one major reason: There is no black representation.

Hey! That symbol doesn’t have nearly enough variations!

Cockpit Mishap Might Have Caused Plunge on Latam Boeing 787: Flight Attendant Hit a Seat Switch
Wall Street Journal | March 14, 2024 | Andrew Tangel & Sharon Terlep

A cockpit seat mishap might have pushed a pilot into the controls on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner that took a sudden, terrifying plunge on a flight to New Zealand this week, according to U.S. industry officials briefed on preliminary evidence from an investigation of the incident.

A Latam Airlines flight attendant hit a switch on the pilot’s seat while serving a meal, leading a motorized feature to push the pilot into the controls and push down the plane’s nose, these officials said. The switch has a cover and isn’t supposed to be used when a pilot is in the seat.

[How about we change that to “cannot be used”?]

Around 50 passengers on the flight from Sydney to Auckland required medical attention, and some passengers were pinned to the ceiling as the airplane suddenly declined. Latam, a Chile-based airline, has said the Dreamliner suffered a “technical event during the flight which caused strong movement.”

Is she . . . busty?

So the pilot wasn’t in a locked and upright position, huh? Rules for thee, but not for me.
