Combine Angelou's "When someone shows you who they are, believe them" with the truism that in politics, "every accusation is a confession" and you get: "Every time someone accuses you of a vice, they're showing you who they are and you should believe them."

Randall Munroe, creator of the online comic strip xkcd, is publishing a print book -- you know, dead trees, ink, no text search, nonadjustable font size.
My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

Quick note: There's a link URL near the bottom of the "Bosses" article which isn't hyperlinked 😊
Also, quick question: I've noticed that you never set links to "open in a new window/tab" & since I know you know what you're doing, I was wondering why you choose to do this? I always set links to "new window/tab" based on my own behavior of reflexively closing windows but I don't presume to be right that this is how it should be done 😁
@jwcph Because users who want to open links in new tabs can do so (right click/middle click) that way, while people who don't want new tabs just have to click. If links are set to target a new tab every time, then users can't choose.
@mnemonicoverload @jpaskaruk oh they know. That's why they've built those bunkers and invested in a police state. They are not afraid of workers that way anymore.
