This is an important video on a lot of levels, but specifically it’s fascinating how the level of global complicity and support required to prop up apartheid has increased in the digital age. And how distributed and diffuse the infrastructure is. youtu.be/Ybj10537yi4?...

Mindblowing courage. He might have turned around, he might had a belt, he might have actually known how to shake someone off rather than falling over like the tragic idiot he is. But there's no knowing that in advance.
Video, I believe recorded off of local TV, of a bystander disarming one of the two killers.

This time last year, I didn't know whether this book would have a future. I was also realising I wasn't going to be paid what I was owed for it and feeling extremely scared.
By buying a copy this Christmas, you'll be saying "Fuck you" to my ex-publisher. Why not treat yourself? Swearing is fun.

Since this post, nearly 300 of you donated about $11k and I just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. The union shared photos with me today of food being distributed. Remaining money will be evenly distributed among the 160 union members in the form of gift cards. Thank you. ❤️

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Somehow or other, someone has decided that we need less human involvement in human services.
Possibly because computers are so compassionate.
Disability has always been costly it's just that the biggest service was mostly provided by women - for free.

The article is well worth a read; this information would never have come to light were it not for Steam's AI disclosure policy, and the game looks to be a rushed cash grab not involving Grasshopper studio.
