Watched a documentary about my favourite childhood comic, 2000AD. I've noticed a lot of people are confused about whether Judge Dredd is the good guy. (Something was definitely lost in translation over the Atlantic.) Anyway, this should help to resolve any questions you have...

This is sickening…

It’s ⭐️Jordan Wood,
Susan Collins’ only Democratic opponent.

When Susan Collins confirmed RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard
after expressing her *deepest concerns*
she left Mainers stunned.

But now, I’m learning that days before the votes:

…Susan Collins jetted down to Mar-a-Lago

…she DINED with Donald Trump 

…the MAGA establishment vowed 💥over $400 MILLION would be spent on her race

I won’t mince words:
👉 Susan Collins is incredibly vulnerable.

So she bowed down to Trump
– confirming a vaccine denier and a conspiracy theorist
– because she knew it meant they’d rush millions to rescue her seat.

Hear me when I say this:
𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻,
𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝘅 𝗼𝗳 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗲.

That's why I'm asking for your donation today.
Will you rush in $15 to my Senate campaign to defeat Susan Collins so we can flip Maine blue?

With enough folks pitching in, we’ll take our country back from Susan Collins and Donald Trump

Things I would like every young web engineer to learn:

- anything you can do in CSS + HTML, you *should* do in CSS + HTML
- *framework du jour* is not a platform, it's a high-interest loan against your future capacity. The platform is the platform
- understanding the memory hierarchy *always* matters
- client-side isn't easier than the server, and "generalists" usually suck at client-side. Mind the (packet) gap
- managers who are not technical are not useful
- put users first, always

發明冰皮月餅的香港大班麵包西餅結業
前幾天分店陸續關閉就有人猜到了

幾年前大班母集團接受中共背景文匯報訪問,母集團老闆說自己怎麼在中國擴展生意、為什麼想保存香港品牌,順道說生意怎麼受反送中影響

當時文匯報指大班是「活生生見證香港由治及興的例子」

fedi PSA, spam, mutual aid scam

PSA: there's a new spam campaign hitting fedi, this one claims to be raising money for insulin and usually has a banner saying "black lives matter" or another progressive slogan.

You can recognize it in the usual ways:
1. Brand-new accounts doing nothing but ask for money.
2. Cold-messaging strangers with personal requests for a boost or donation.
3. Identical or near-identical accounts appearing all over fedi, primarily on open-registration instances.

If you see these accounts or get pinged by them, don't panic! Just report the profile and let your moderators handle it. The image below is an example of what to look out for.

Update: the spammers have adjusted their format a bit, see these posts for details:
-

-
https://en.osm.town/@thibaultmol/114745221813651432

Update 2: This particular round of spam also has a new trick, which is immediately blocking remote instance staff after they create an account. Fortunately, this does not prevent them from being reported! Just continue to report as usual, and moderators can view the content through their report UI (on Mastodon / Akkoma) or by switching accounts (on Misskey / Sharkey).

Screenshot of a profile for Loy (transloy@mstdn.social) that is 10 minutes old. The profile is a dark-skinned woman wearing a face mask, glasses, and a flannel shirt. The bio reads:
BLM✊🏿🌈🏳️‍⚧️ KHAEMBA NEEDS HELP FOR INSULIN TO SURVIVE($105/$300
:
:
I'm very grateful for everyone who has interacted and donated so far and I hope to raise the full amount today so I can administer my insulin as time is running out I'm calling for a community aid to help me get insulin because the healthcare system failed me😢
