People gave a record amount of money to multiple organizations for the people of Gaza and all this money just sat there for the past 2 years because Israel blocked it. I hope this money gets distributed quickly now so that the people of Gaza don't have to beg anymore

okay gang i figured out how to make git work including the auto deployment of pghrt.diy meaning that now it's as easy as a click of a button to publish an edit.

happy to say to all software engineers who were mad at me that i get it now. it's very satisfying. plus version control actually did help.

this exchange so much

I too support the troupes

LA says we will fight you, Chicago says we will fight you, PDX (Portland) says we will make you endure week after week of improv theater. The least Noem could have done was to toss a couple bucks down to the troupe. They're putting in a lot of hard work even now for everyone's entertainment. The troupes. I support our troupes.

The thing I respect about Greta Thunberg is that she understands most people in the Western world don’t give a shit about atrocities until someone white is affected.

So she’s doing what needs to be done to keep up the pressure.

If more white folks followed that example, we’d all be fine.

Standing up to fascism is always the right choice.

Rejecting censorship is always the right choice.

Fighting for marginalized and vulnerable communities is always the right choice.

Both DC and Marvel have expressed that gen AI has no place in their comic books.

That’s significant.

I hope they go further and enshroud that in contracts if they haven’t already. #CreateDontScrape

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.
