well, since Sharetron finally came back up I tried to do a follower migration and I guess maybe there were just a lot of dead accounts in my followers on the old domain. But there's also, as far as I can tell, no way to know what happened in Gotosocial's interface. Oh well! Hello to those who made it 👋

I'd been putting off writing this blog post for a while, but finally got around to it--wherein I draw from a film I've always revered to make observations about technology and technologists during these polarizing times...

Israel plans to seize 180 hectares (1800 dunams) of privately owned land in the occupied West Bank, claiming it wants to “develop an archaeological site.”

Haaretz reported on Thursday that the targeted area sits near the town of Sebastia, north of Nablus. It contains tens of thousands of olive trees.

The order covers land in Sebastia and the neighbouring village of Burqa.

"This is part and parcel of historically what white Christian nationalism has always been willing to do, is resort to the most brutal, terroristic acts of violence. … People are, 'Oh you know Christian nationalism is new, 'and [I'm] like, 'Well, no, it's not new at all. I mean we have new iterations of it in our in our day that are really important to pay attention to but I I always use the KKK as an example of a Christian nationalist group.'"

Kristn Du Mez points to what Dias and Graham say in their interview as they note that "Christian nationalism" "was a term invented by scholars and they just do their reporting on American religion these days without touching that term."

Robert P. Jones responds:

"That's the most ridiculous thing ever. … So, you're going to be a science reporter and you're going to write about human genetics without using the terms DNA, right?"

But the Times and its religion reporters think that the term "Christian nationalism" isn't accurate: it's biased. Using it is "taking sides" and not being "objective."

Using it is offensive to Trump and the white Christians who support him. Dias suggests that this is a scholarly term rather than a description of anything real — as if journalists can make up the reality on which they report while ignoring scholarly consensus.

Dias' and Graham's position (and the position of New York Times) is generating a lot of dismay and even anger among well-respected religion scholars who have done everything but stand on their heads to demonstrate the close connections between Trump's agenda and Christian nationalism.

As Jemar Tisby notes, you can't talk about Trump's stepped-up calls for violence without talking about Christian nationalism.

Two days ago, the New York Times published an interview Patrick Healy did with NYT religion reporters Elizabeth Dias and Ruth Graham. In the interview Healy asked Dias and Graham to talk about the term "Christian nationalism" — which both refuse to use in their coverage of contemporary American religion.

Healy notes that readers want NYT religion reporters to be accurate in reporting on religion in the Trump era.

My role at Plotly was part of a recent reduction in force, so I'm looking for something new. I would ideally like to work in education, developer experience, open source, or scientific computing, and I'm open to part-time, full-time, or contracting positions, either in Toronto or remote. There's more about me at third-bit.com/about/ - if you'd like to chat, please give me a shout.

“Canada did not sign the letter, Environment and Climate Change Canada confirmed to CBC News Friday.”

Canada is a problem.

A huge problem.

Our Prime Minister is in the Middle East instead of COP. That's all you need to know.

We're all so screwed right now... the world... all of us.

Our leaders in ‘developed' countries cannot extricate their minds from the Fossil Fuel industry and it's going to kill us all, or at least a very large proportion of us.

Huh. Learn something new every day.

A whole bunch of people block the use of browser devtools, by (for example) killing off page content when it's been detected.

I've just come across one that kills the site as soon as the inner window width is 200px less wide than the outer - but that also kills a site for any users of tabs going down the side instead across the top of a window.

Hm! Not seen it before.

I spent much of the past couple of days running down what I thought was a VLAN trunking issue due to mixing and matching Unifi and Mikrotik gear and moving things around, but it turned out to just be that I forgot that I had adjusted the firewall rules for the VLAN, and that I had neglected to allow DHCP+DNS to the gateway from that untrusted VLAN. I very rarely touch the firewall so I'd forgotten that I'd done that about a week or so earlier.

그리고 그렇기(Perceived attack)에 심볼리즘에 집착하는 멘탈리티 - 타국에서 유례를 볼 수 없는 기괴한 형태의 마녀사냥이 횡행하는 형태로 래디컬 인셀의 행태를 낳았다. 도덕적 추구를 우월지위적 마운팅으로 보고 니힐리즘으로 카운터하는 해외의 양상과 확연하게 다른 무언가. 당시의 '미러링'이 현재 인셀 극단화라는 현상과 인과적으로 연결되지 않는다고 벗어난다고 이야기하고 싶은 유인의 존재를 인지함 (심지어 느낌) - 하지만 대개 그건 팩션의 결백함을 교리적으로 못박는 용도 이상이 되지 못 할 것 같다.

어쨌든, take를 정리해놓자면, 나는 미러링은 그 시대에 필요했던 emancipation을 제공했으며, 그 시점 그 환경에서 그걸 제공할 어쩌면 유일한 수단이었을지도 모른다고 생각한다 (정말 다른게 없었을까 하는 생각을 못 지우긴 하지만, '된장녀' 담론으로 걸어나온 미소지니 앞에서 불가피했던 것처럼도 보임). 동시에, 그런 분출적(거의 통제될 수 없는) 방향은 레토릭을 정체성 기반의 카운터로 조형했고 이는 '남성이기에 받는 무언가' 로 받아들여져서 집단적 기억으로 작동했다. 그들이 꼬나드는 핵심이 '남혐' 인 연유다.

Programmers! Did you know you can fairly choose a random item from a list in a single pass, without knowing the total number of items in advance, and in constant, minimal space? This delightful method has lived rent-free in my head since I learned it from the Perl gods in the 90s: csg.sph.umich.edu/chen/Perl/co
