My wife has been HIV+ for 34 years. She’s alive today b/c work of activists who destigmatized the virus, pushed medical science to adapt & find ways to treat it, & advocated for gov health programs that helped fund her care. The current U.S. regime may want to go back in time, but we won’t let them.

What level of comprehension/and fixing we want to expect from people, in order for them to do certain kinds of work, is such an interesting and important question! And has been a bit ignored in software so far in a way that isn't helping us now, imho.

Engaging with more and more non-PhD-scientist groups and it's so wild how science gets deployed. Just, "here is a fact and here is a study that supports this fact." Sounds reasonable on its face, but a lot of studies suck.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

In case you weren't aware, prior to the ACA, it was functionally impossible to get health insurance as a trans person. I mean flat out. They considered being transgender a "pre-existing condition" and would simply not issue individual insurance. So either you had employer-issued insurance, or nada.

It's blatant vindictive prosecution and everyone involved from Halligan to Bondi to Trump need to be sued.
“This case presents the unique, if not unprecedented, situation where an unconstitutionally appointed prosecutor, exercising ‘power [she] did not lawfully possess,’ acted alone in conducting a grand jury proceeding & securing an indictment,” Judge Currie wrote about the Comey & James cases.

Software engineering needs a reckoning and a professionalism. It needs actual teeth with which individual workers can use to push back and say "no, I won't put my name on this work". It needs the structure in place for software to be held to a standard of quality befitting its societal criticality

if there's a reason to keep up the "tribunals for all involved" discourse one such reason it is to put in stark relief how far away some of the Dem politicking is from the mood on the ground
eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient
