@b0rkJulia Evans folks like 
@jacobjacobian had, I think, a really strong and positive influence on the docs culture there early on, and they're still the docs I compare other docs to (and other docs almost never hold up)
@Jamessocoljames @b0rkJulia Evans We put a huge emphasis on docs from day 1. Our policy has always been that new code can’t be merged unless it includes docs — we’ve held up major features because the docs weren’t done/good. That’s a virtuous cycle: good docs attract contributors who value good docs. So yeah it’s super intentional, and always nice to hear from someone that it seems to be working :)
Meowing at the snow doesn't do anything! It just means there is snow and sleet and it's also LOUD in here.
Peter Oborne, _Complicit: Britain's Role in the Destruction of Gaza_ (OR Books, 2025)
https://orbooks.com/catalog/complicit/
• 360 pages
• Paperback ISBN 9781682194263
• E-book ISBN 9781682194522
>> In a gripping narrative informed by original reporting, Peter Oborne tells how Britain’s Conservative and Labour parties converged to back Israel’s criminal assault—in the process occupying disturbing common ground with the far right.
>> Rather than challenge this political cartel, British media colluded in its misrepresentations… as British authorities helped Israel set #Gaza as well as international law aflame, almost everything the public was told about this momentous conflagration was untrue…

Being a marketer shaped my progressive politics more than I expected precisely because of this.
Once you see how much effort is being spent on marketing certain worldviews to you and how much of that can be studied, analyzed, and replicated - you can’t unsee it.
And you see the power that’s available for all of us to tap into to push back. The same kinds of marketing and communication tactics used against us can be used to amplify science, art, pro-social values, and progressive policy.
The right has been waging a coordinated campaign of swaying public opinion since at least the birth of the Federalist Society and backlash to Roe.
Their legal influence required creating an information and media apparatus that influenced first elite professional networks, then the public at large.
(For a recent example, just look at how much LLMS and AI have been relying on constant marketing and media attention for anyone to believe that these tools are “inevitable” or even “useful”. Their marketing and PR departments work very hard and are very well funded. For a reason.)

A lesbian love story where two professionals meet through work in a big city, hitting it off, and eventually realising that they also dated long distance, as teenagers, via ICQ, until their parents cut that short, and they lost touch.
They both still remember each other's six-digit ID, and sheepishly admit that they have been using it as their smartphone PIN for years.
Obviously they get married, and live happily ever after.

For my international audience (because i can't believe my #German audience could have missed this).
After the recent #antifascist #antifa demonstations there has been a popularisation of the #antifasticker meme. People from all walks of live appropriate symbols from their lived experience and combine it with the antifascist logo for something amusing. Here are some samples with alt-texts providing a translation/explanation. A thread 🧵1/10 : #WorkerRights

ICE’s lethal brutality
More white Americans are waking up to what the Black and Brown communities have faced for generations— the unjustified, or mostly fabricated, rationale of use of deadly brutality inflicted by so-called law enforcement on American citizens
The “lawlessness” in Minnesota rests squarely with ICE and Customs Border Control

begging you to read The Authoritarians... it's a bunch of research and essays on wtf is going on with the authoritarian mindset, people who operate under this particular type of mindset, and what it means for the rest of us trapped here on earth with them
it's very instructive.
occasionally I do this thing where I think about the operations that occur during a single clock edge, and then imagine what it would be like to be doing all that by hand, and how long you would have to live to have accomplished a similar quantity of work at human-level speeds.
the RAM I bought for my workstation in 2019 has collectively seen around 6.5x10^18 edges. if I took one second to complete each clock edge's work, it'd take me ten times as long as the age of the universe to match that.

We started having wifi issues at home started last week after a power outage.
I called the internet provider for support. They said our modem is too old, so they sent us a new one.
Got the new modem. But wifi is still bad.
Not only that, this new modem is too new that even their own network management app couldn't recognize the model.
💀
Today I got on the call with them for 1h38m. Their "fix" is to upsell and make me subscribe for more services for better wifi range. 😡
