Greetings! I am not sure how much I will use this platform alongside others, but I am excited to get to explore it!
I design and program software and games, enjoy sci-fi, and do some political activism.
You can also find me at @ZMYaro on most other socials (especially mastodon.social).

Finally saw Del Toro's #Frankenstein2025. As so many people have said, outstanding and worth seeing in a theater. Confirmed my expectation there is no one alive today better suited to direct a #Frankenstein adaptation.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

This is both exciting and such a good name! 👏💯
Did you know CargoB is working with the @boston.gov to pilot a city staff fleet program called “City Hauls”? It’s true! Excited to play a role in demonstrating the utility of e-cargo bike share for municipal services and resident engagement; this helps city staff put more work on two wheels.

One of the themes of our new police state is the sheer lack of professionalism. They can't do the basics, and when challenged, double down. A dysfunctional organizational culture deeply suspicious of the society they are tasked with controlling.

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern.
They had misidentified the intern.
They had misidentified the intern.
The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

Really good line at the Criminalization Of Self-Defense panel: that one common abusive action is to cut people off from their social connections, and that is also a core part of our carceral system.

Trigger warning.
“In crashes, SUVs are more likely to strike vital organs in the core of adults’ bodies & heads of children. Hitting pedestrians above their center of gravity means they’re more likely to be knocked forward & down and then be driven over.”
Plus more likely to hit in the 1st place.

“They really shouldn't let those small cars drive in traffic. I worry I'm going to kill someone if I hit one! They should have to drive on the sidewalk, safely out of the way.”

Drivers stop at crosswalks in Poland now because they passed presumed liability, and they ran a public awareness campaign to promote it. The driver is presumed to be at fault if they hit a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
The zebra stripes in Poland have magical power that the ones in America don’t. Even on a fast divided highway, a pedestrian in the shadows, well back from the curb, can stop traffic.

I feel as though a lot of people see the amount of volunteer activist work I do, and when I say they should get involved, they think I mean they should also do an unhealthy, unsustainable amount. I don't want 39 new recruits doing 40 hours a week too; I want us to each take 1!

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.
