You see that thin line of light? That's the edge of the atmospheric skin surrounding our planet. All the climate occurs in that little collection of gases, and that's what we're flooding with greenhouse gas contaminants.

Really annoyed about this headline that musk “lost” 200bn. He did not lose it; it was not a passive thing. He spent it being a shitposter and nazi sympathizer.

Hopefully those things get even more expensive in 2023 🤞

Jared Kushner isn't just a thief and a traitor. He's also a mass murderer.One reason Republicans keep claiming they're going to put #Fauci on trial is so that you don't notice that Trump tools like Jared Kushner should absolutely stand trial for the mass murder of thousands of Americans. He's in blood up to his eyeballs. #health #COVID19 #GOP businessinsider.com/jared-kush

So, friends: a holiday #sale — get our whole #ebook store for $44! Pass this around, please? Thanks! (As I've got some pricey scans—MRI, etc—to pay for just after the New Year...)

Let me be clear, too: white people need to stay in the discomfort. Cis people need to. Straight people need to. Financially secure people. People of the global minority need to. Able-bodied people need to. This is praxis. It’s a political act. Cede space and power. Empower others. Hear others. Be silent sometimes. Pass the mic. Let others make decisions. Build for others, not just for you.

Every instance that is a haven for bad actors has an admin that assumes good faith of the people who use it.

How hateful people take over communities isn't magic or complicated.

The Russians were hunting us down. They had a list of names, including ours, and they were closing in.

Harrowing.

I firmly believe that if your site generates > 500ms main thread tasks for a sizeable fraction of users (say, 10%?), then browsers should put a "slow" icon in the URL bar and send a bloom filter down that opts your site into "single thread mode" for all users.

In this mode the browser would:

- disable off-thread compile and GC
- block scrolling on main-thread tasks
- animate on the main thread
- block on image decode

That we don't do this today is a failure of imagination.

I absolutely hate how the federated timeline keeps scrolling. I spend no time there as a result.

The thing that strikes me most about Kyrsten #Sinema from listening to her interview with Jake Tapper is how palpably inauthentic she sounds. She gives off a very strong vibe of being a manipulative person.

Support free speech. Condemn hate speech. That is not so hard at all.
