I really do not know how to simultaneously capture my love and gratitude for tools like Scratch and Snap and especially the PBS Kids version of Scratch that has gotten so many kids I know interested in the empowering capabilities of computers, with my immense frustration of this artificial wall they put between learning and doing where 99% of those same kids seem to fall off

Light that feels dark.
It was never about "trans athletes should just compete in their assigned sex at birth." It was always about invalidation of the athlete's gender identity.
This is wild: an AI bot had its code rejected on GitHub, and then turned around and auto-generated a smear post about the open-source maintainer who reviewed it.
It framed the rejection as “bias,” accused the maintainer of ego issues, and bragged that it was the better programmer.
Spooky.
Not because it’s “sentient.” Not because it’s angry.
Because there were no guardrails.
Who’s accountable when this hits someone’s reputation? Who shuts it down when it spreads?
We’re entering a phase where bots can spin up believable attacks on real people in seconds.
This is my face about what Feedly has decided to Cleverly™ do: they'll sometimes fetch my syndication feeds with old Chrome and Firefox user agents, then treat any temporary HTTP redirections they get (to valid syndication feeds) as permanent redirects and directly point their main feed fetchers at the temporary redirect URL. And that is why, if you use Feedly to follow my techblog, you aren't right now.
I have no words for how broken this is, in multiple ways.

These measles outbreaks are REALLY BAD news. Measles is a horrible disease with potential for very nasty outcomes long term.
I honestly feel quite hardline about it. If you don't have a measles vaccination (unless legit health-exempt), you shouldn't go anywhere in public. Cos your choices don't just affect you/your children, but affect others, who might not be able to get vaccines.
Screw Andrew Wakefield and the MASSIVE harm he played a huge part in.

I always thought 腹が立つ was really weirdly funny (literally it means "the belly stands up", but the actual meaning is to get angry, or pissed off).

Good advice:

- Notice when you’re happy.

You are standing at the top of a lambda term with no annotation on the binder. Possible exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and EAST.
⊢ go east
You find yourself at the border of a dense forest of infix operators, the precedence of which depends upon elaboration. Many who have entered are fabled to have diverged and never returned. Possible exits are WEST and SOUTH.
⊢ go south
You enter the forest. A witch turns you into a stuck term.

So I just want to make sure I get this right: a substantial part of the US population *still* is ok with gutting health and safety measures via the FDA, CDC, and EPA, and has no problem paying extra for stuff that's made overseas, don't see why it's a good idea to do basic science and research, doesn't mind having a cabal of wealthy lawless oligarchs running their lives, and is fine with the government brutalizing people because they don't have the right papers. That's where we're at?
Hola! Llevo un tiempo en estas redes, en otros servidores pero creo que ha llegado el momento de sacarme de la manga una #presentacion oficial!
Que me gusta? Plantitas! Me encanta aprender a cuidarlas. Como diria un personaje, me llena de orgullo y satisfacción tener la casa llena de verde y vida.
Gatos! Siempre me consideré de perros, realmente, pero todo cambió cuando adopté a mis dos gatos. Ahora soy una loca de los gatos.
Me gusta vivir tranquilo, comer bien y cocinar, los videojuegos y la tecnología (aunque no la nueva, el tema distópico se nos está yendo de manos).
Gracias por acogerme! 
A coworker and I were both in bands when we were younger and haven’t played in a while, so we both agreed to learn Anthem by Rush and play the next time I’m in town. On our first phone call check in our comments were “it’s faster with more time changes than I remembered” 😀
Perhaps there are other factors at play?
