Btw, I remember there being some anxieties around folks expressing their opinions during primaries.
Besides being nowhere near a presidential primary at the moment, now is in fact the time for people to express certain lines they expect candidates not to cross.
Protect trans folks.
Anyway, I told them, to stand out and get jobs in CS, learn to write. And you aren't going to learn how to write at a professional level without practicing a lot. Just like any other skill you want to have at a professional level.
Maybe that's not what they wanted to hear. But I stand by it.
Imagine hating Black people so much you don't want clean milk or healthy kids.
I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually
If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.
Hegseth, Waltz, Gabbard Private Data and Passwords of Senior U.S. Security Officials Found Online Donald Trump's most important security advisers used Signal to discuss an imminent military strike. Now, reporting by DER SPIEGEL has found that the contact data of some of those officials, including mobile phone numbers, is freely accessible on the internet. By Patrick Beuth, Jörg Diehl, Roman Höfner, Roman Lehberger, Friederike Röhreke und Fidelius Schmid 26.03.2025, 21.20 Uhr
🚨NEW: Major development.
German newspaper Der Spiegel has found phone numbers and passwords for Hegseth, Waltz & Gabbard in stolen data freely published on the internet.
‼️It includes details of Signal accounts.
“It is conceivable that foreign agents were privy to the Signal chat group.”
So. I think it's important to share news about what's happening. But I'm trying to square that with the other reality that it contributes to doomscrolling.
I think we need to start putting these things into context and talking about what we are learning or what we should take away from it.
I live in Michigan.
Elon Musk did this for PR and nothing more.
He did nothing to help Flint.
He was already rotted out.
Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.
Turns out the haters were correct about the billionaires. Honestly great call from the haters.
truly hope no senate dems pay any dscc dues until gillibrand is replaced as chair.
To be clear, the upshot of this decision is that an awful 5th Circuit decision saying it’s illegal for states to count late-arriving mail ballots will stand. It nullifies two such laws, in Texas and Mississippi, though it doesn’t apply in the rest of the country.
It’s SCOTUS-bound for sure.
These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP.
Schumer
Fetterman
Cortez Masto
Durbin
King
Shaheen
Gillibrand
Schatz
Hassan
Peters
Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.
Hearing all these democrats suggesting that trans people aren't worthy of rights, sure screams progressive principles.
It's not like there are any historical precedents for what happens when centrists cave to fascist calls to dehumanize groups of marginalized people.
No, no, none at all.
They are weak, weak people.
Cool so what happens if GOP attach a national abortion ban to a CR? You'll vote for that too?

re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens
Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

The NRA pulled it off with school shootings so this isn’t as crazy as it sounds.
Who would have guessed that Russia would win the Cold War after all?
I think about this headline all of the time.
Don’t be a nice person…
Elon Musk's mother moved to South Africa in the year Apartheid was created, and she and Elon left the year it ended. The last Apartheid Prime Minister, a man who refused to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Committee, was a family friend who stayed at their home. This is not a crazy theory.
My sympathies for anyone affected by the halt on NIH Study Sections. I hope you’re able to pivot your grant somewhere else in time. What an absolute sabotage of US scientific excellence
With alt-text. The Parable of the Talents is a novel by Octavia Butler. It was published in 1998, a sequel to The Parable of the Sower (1993.) Both were award winning books.
Easy you just click the “X” in the top right corner and then click “Yes” when it asks “‘vim’ is still running. Are you sure you want to close this window?”
Well, I was going to work on a side project, but first stopped to tweak my .vimconfig, and what it’s midnight??
