I’m not a doomer but it feels like we’re pretty far to the right side already.

@aral It is already a crime, something that many media agencies have been (for what ever their motivation) wilfully failing to report.

Israel is already one of of 127 signatory's of Protocol II of the United Nations 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons,
Protocol II prohibits in all circumstances the use of booby-traps in apparently harmless portable objects

@afilina my rule of thumb here: if your monolith looks like shit, then splitting microservices make it distributed shit.

As a teenager in Neustrelitz (East Germany), I painted small stones purple and left them all over town. Did it for years. It drove the police and Stasi nuts. It meant nothing. It just felt good to do something they couldn't control or understand.

I once visited New Orleans with my French ex and a guy came up and had a conversation with her in French and as we were walking away she whispered, “that guy talks like an 18th century pirate” and I was like, “yeah why wouldn’t he?”

I wish #Apple would sort their keyboard out. The text correction is shockingly bad, especially when swiping to type. It’s to the point where I have to proofread everything I type.

Perfect example - it just corrected “proodread” to “progress” WTF??

I feel like #Android had this solved like many years ago.

Here's today edition of "How is it that only Matt Drudge has decided to be the only big media outlet that covers Trump like he's a Democrat"

A few years ago, I was in Rome, Italy. I actually stumbled upon the ruins where Caesar was stabbed to death. It’s now a cat shelter with over 200 cats. https://rome.us/ancient-rome/largo-argentina.html#:~:text=Largo%20di%20Torre%20Argentina%20is,and%20walk%20among%20the%20ruins

Born in 1885, Clara Belle Williams became the 1st Black graduate of New Mexico College of Agriculture & Mechanic Arts (now NMSU).

While a student, many professors did not allow her into lecture halls so she took notes from the hallway. When she graduated in 1937, commencement ceremonies were canceled bc a group of students refused to walk with her.

Williams persevered despite discrimination, earning recognition as a teacher & lifelong learner. https://libexhibits.nmsu.edu/onlinexhibits/cbwilliams/index.html #HistoryRemix #history

I took this photo of my kid playing with his blocks the other day, and when I realized it reminded me of something, well...I had to make this.

I like the phrase "snitches get stitches" because it suggests that, in spite of its incumbent violence, the criminal underworld is proactive about timely affordable healthcare.
