Mississippi is America’s Blackest state. It’s mostly white MAGA Govt annually rejects $1B in Federal $ for Medicaid. Now the last hospital in a rural part of MS is about to close—devastating Black & low income people.
MAGA racism & cruelty on full display. Like the old saying goes. Republicans claim government doesn’t work—then they get elected and prove it.

A thing I like about the Mastodon app is that it doesn’t put my head behind the static peninsula in my profile photo.

I will never understand why people are so averse to diversity.
I like seeing trans people speaking to each other with idioms I don't get, cute girls speaking a language I can't recognize, or gay dudes priming and posing in random pics.
Seeing shit that is not for me makes me feel like I'm part of a much bigger world that still has space for me to learn and grow.
That's a big place of comfort for me. The bottomless nature of the human experience means we all have space to be fully who we are.
That's pretty cool.

The #UnitedStates roadway system sacrifices over 40,000 souls per year, and so many of our transportation agency leaders chalk it up to the cost of a functioning economy.
This is not a functioning economy. This is a complete lack of humanity.

Well, I drew a line in the sand, and it’s been crossed, so time to figure out how to best extricate myself from Twitter entirely. First step, have put the Mastodon app into the place on my home screen where Twitter normally lives, so the muscle memory will push me to post here first!
Ok, I’ve gotten enough set up now that I’m checking Mastodon as much as Twitter, and I can imagine a day when Mastodon is the norm.

Fred Brooks, author of The Mythical Man Month, has died at the age of 91. This classic was my introduction to managing complex software projects. Its many insights and lessons still apply today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Brooks
Two books I recommend to everyone, but especially if you are a new manager: https://www.powells.com/book/managing-humans-biting-humorous-tales-of-a-software-engineering-manager-9781484221570 and https://www.powells.com/book/radical-candor-fully-revised-updated-edition-be-a-kick-ass-boss-without-losing-your-humanity-9781250235374
Really enjoyed answering developers' watchOS questions today. Kind of makes me wish we could keep that channel open all the time... tho I'd probably never get any work done that way. :-) Developer forums are still an option! https://developer.apple.com/forums/ Tag with watchOS (and SwiftUI/Watch Complications/other topics as appropriate) so we'll see them.
Workout app developers! Make the Action button on Apple Watch Ultra work with your app: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/actionbutton
I am not liking the idea of "tooting," but here goes.
