SBF is out on bail for swindling billions of dollars while people die in Rikers awaiting trial for shoplifting.

A good argument for abolishing the pay-for-freedom bail model which undermines the Constitutional principle of innocent until proven guilty.

To be sure, I don't like Elon Musk either.

But his problem isn't that he's autistic. It's that he's an asshole.

Just so you also know: autistic people have largely been early adopters of the Fediverse -- we came here because Big Social could no longer be a space for us.

Believe it or not, I am everyone on the cover of Castle Risk.

Late in 1985, my dad was contracted by Parker Bros. to paint the cover for the game. I was off for Winter break from my freshman year of college, so he had me pose for *all* the figures in the painting.

I really struggled with the icing for my gingerbread barn and it accidentally became a gingerbread slaughterhouse.

While cleaning up the Lastpass mess, I discovered that, at some point, Lastpass dumped a plaintext config into the unprotected note field for all Wi-Fi Password entries.

This means that all these Wi-Fi passwords were exposed in this breach - no master password bruteforcing necessary. Has anyone else seen this behavior with Wi-Fi Password entries in Lastpass? Perhaps this is just a weird thing that only happened to me?

BLOG POST: Why the Fediverse is Revolutionary https://blog.atomicpoet.org/s/vOcINMxQd#

An explanation for what the Fediverse is, and why it's the biggest communications revolution in a generation.

Sad juxtaposition in my timeline.

A post about survivors of Mariupol right next to one about survivors of Auschwitz. Both about the struggle to live under inhumane conditions.

The biggest threat to democracy is not just Trump, but a Republican Party obstructing all attempts to hold anyone accountable, remaining fully committed to the quest of installing authoritarian rule by a reactionary minority. Did the Committee make that clear enough? 5/
