Only just sat down after returning home from my epic outing this afternoon, and some Mormons stopped by to say 'hello' and give me a book.

So I'm going to stop by to say 'hello' to you folks and give you a birb.

The fact that the deaths of six tourists (all westerners) in #SoutheastAsia (#Laos) is a far bigger story than the 174 #Rohingya who died when their boat sank last week says a lot about how the world values some lives over others.

Both were, technically, groups of travelers. One made up of privileged members, with western passports, whose deaths will likely results in extensive investigation.

The others, nameless, unwanted stateless #refugees left to fend for themselves.

let me tell you something…

what i have learned as a technologist in the last 30 years is that, in the United States, tech CEOs are hired to baldface lie and obfuscate, even gaslight, about their products because there are no consequences to doing so.

in countries with huge markets like South Korea, Japan, Brasil, CEOs end in prison for lying about their products. not so here.

On what is a rainy, windy, grey day here, I can imagine we all want to stay asleep, curled up on a soft bed, waiting for the sun. But Caturday waits for no cat, so wake up little Avocado, it's time to celebrate, for all who do!
Happy Caturday all!

Did some coding and I feel a lot better lol.

It feels good to make something.

Our founders contemplated someone like Trump. They designed coequal branches specifically to check that risk. SCOTUS has long since abandoned any pretense to be more than a rubber stamp, leaving the legislative branch is the last remaining check. These nominees are the test.

Okay, y'all, making an executive decision that I'm going to be doing #uspol stuff without CWs for the next week. Mastodon has a 7 day mute feature, so if you want to avoid the stuff without CWs, probably mute me for a week.

Otherwise my feed is going to be nothing but CWs and that's just painful to look at.

"Hate does something to the soul that causes one to lose his objectivity. The man who hates can't think straight; the man who hates can't reason right; the man who hates can't see right" - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

But in 1994, after the breakup of the #USSR, the newly independent country gave up all of its nuclear #weapons.
