When you see protestors wearing masks, a big reason is COVID.
The right lies that it's only to hide identities, so they can ban masks and make protesting illegal.
Leftists need to stop repeating right-wing talking points. Always point out mask wearing is also due to COVID!
When we look back at this globally critical election year in 10 or 20 years time, will we remember the individual absurdity of right-wing politicians or will we acknowledge the truth of what #Vonnegut said in one of his final pieces of writing?
“We’ll go down in history as the first society that wouldn’t save itself because it wasn’t cost effective’
Is it actually worse than that?
It is very cost effective..
...but we still won't do it.
The idea of "rugged individualism" is so absurd when your food is grown by someone else, your home was built by someone else, your roads were paved by someone else, your electricity is generated by someone else, your illnesses and injuries are healed by someone else, and virtually everything you know was taught to you by someone else.
We depend on other people. That's an enormous strength, not a weakness.
Thank you @actupny for this amazing COVID-safer Pride Guide!
It's incredible seeing so many organizers stepping up and centering COVID, public health, and accessibility, as part of their events and protests. More of this please!

I posted a video on YouTube 8 years ago that uses clips from Star Wars to Michael Jackson‘s Smooth Criminal.
The shots are in story order, match the lyrics, and are cut on beat. It was so high effort. And I often feel it doesn’t get the attention it deserves, but then I see comments like these and I feel okay about it. Real people know.

Apparently the SORBS DNS blocklist has closed down for good. There was an announcement to that end on the mailop mailinglist recently, and I've seen articles on various tech newstickers today: https://jort.link/www.mail-archive.com/mailop@mailop.org/msg22064.html
(I wasn't aware that SORBS was sponsored directly by Proofpoint.)
If you still have references to dnsbl.sorbs.net anywhere in your mail server or antispam configuration, now is the time to remove them.
UwU, finally a new summoning for the nyaa.

THIS. This is why 'I don't want to put a label on my child' is harmful. If you don't know you're not neurotypical, you end up thinking it's a personal failing that you don't fit in/keep up, and that you're not trying hard enough even though you've been trying hard all your life.

The Santander e-bikes are a game-changer in London. I use them all the time (even as someone whose default travelling mode is my own bike) - they're fun, you still get a bit of exercise, you don't arrive sweaty, and you get to see what's going on in the city.
And for June, Santander bikes are free and e-bikes are only £1 per journey (cheaper than any other transport method) on SUNDAYS. See here for details and give them a go:

A colleague asked to see the code he's going to write the next version of. I plastered it with apologies and statements that it's awful before showing him and *still* got a response of "are you serious?!" This is why I don't show people my code very often. It's a disaster and I know it. :p
(Yes, it's been in production for 5 years, and yes, it does use a sed program full of complicated regular expressions to transform XML messages into SQL procedure calls to update a database. Yes there have been some bugs, but only in my Python code, where the STOMP library I'm using to stream the XML from an activeMQ server does weird *weird* undocumented things regarding threading and error handling I've had to try to code around. I think since it went live I have not found *any* bugs in my sed/mysql code - or the shell script that generates the sed code. The one big problem it's had is simply performance - unsurprising given how regexp-heavy it is.)
back in the 90s, stacey lindburg taught me that when deleting from the prod db to always write the statement as a select first then edit it to be a delete after auditing it.
this advice has saved my ass at least once a year since.
ya cute, don't try to deny it

"I increasingly think it's not helpful to say of someone, "They have been canceled." The passive phrasing of "has been canceled" feels very Orwellian. Pro tip: when people insist on using a passive phrase, it usually means that somebody is trying to evade responsibility for their actions. The phrasing I prefer is, "They have disgraced themself." This clarifies what has occurred, and has a nice active verb."
