Excited to see @lizthegrey.com and @hazelweakly.me speak about Observability Engineering at the SRE NL meetup now

Have seen this Nature piece about the effects of X's algorithm mentioned again and it bears repeating; exposure to a right wing algorithm makes you - measurably and predictably - more right wing, even after you stop using it. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?

Imagine calling Keir Starmer a communist. Lmao www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/new...

Got a similarly simple solution to the Transgender issue. Just let people transition and be fucking normal about it and mind yer own beeswax

There really is a simple solution to migration. And its to be fucking normal about it and stop being a nationalist racist

Do me a favor. Respond or quote this with the most recent piece of media (book, short story, album, painting, statue, game, anything) by a *trans creator* that you loved. Drop a link. Boost their signal.

if you can't embrace the fact that you suck at a thing and keep being bad at it until you get good enough that you stop being bad at it, you'll never get good at anything

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

Tapping the sign

PinkNews has long been a trash bin website. Do not use their materials

couldn't come up with better PR for transgenders than "underground transgender mafia successfully heisted 12 tonnes of Kitkats"

today is Trans Day of Visibility see, you are transgender

this week's post is about how trans visibility is, somehow, a threat to power margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-visibi...

humans are not designed for the amount of feedback being a public figure on social media provides. Whether it's praise or criticism, receiving an avalanche of nonstop attention is profoundly corrosive to your brain.

1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people. This time, it comes from Jesse Singal. I fact check it in my latest piece. End your NYT subscription, and put it towards people doing good work on the issue. Subscribe to support our journalism.

maybe this makes me weird but when someone who irritates me goes out into the world and does a good thing, I find that to be a good thing if everyone i found annoying was standing up to fight this, the enemy would have no chance at all

TL;DR Middle management is hard. Caring is required, but the kind of care you provide matters.

My favorite question to ask in order to learn this is “if you were in my shoes, how would you, as a new hire, go about being impactful at the company?” It’s a great question because it’s disarming and the honest + politically safe answer is still informative. Plus they might not even know!

I'm incredibly proud to announce the Fediverse Security Fund from Nivenly Foundation (@nivenly.bsky.social). It's a time-and-funds limited experiment, where they will pay for the responsible disclosure of high & critical security issues in open-source Fediverse software: nivenly.org/blog/2025/04...

LOL wow a dude just argued in the EU courts that misgendering is a GDPR violation and he *won*. www.wearequeeraf.com/a-trans-refu...

transparency is not just streaming a firehose of BS at someone, it's making sure they can *understand* it.

These are the same picture.

i think an important thing for people outside the US to understand is that elon musk seized control of the government today and most americans don’t even realize it happened.

People keep on saying that GenAI and LLMs are gonna replace us all and unlock all knowledge of the universe, but none of them can tell me definitely who the biggest user of glitter is. Smh.

Loved the article! Well, I didn't read it. Either way, I've got a few thoughts

i love being trans. medical transition saved and continues to save my life every day. the only bad thing about being trans is the reactions of cis people.

Spotify, I know I subscribe to too many podcasts, but you don't have to rub it in by crashing half the time I open "New episodes" 😕

i would happily pay a few dollars a month to keep this place viable.

I should really replace my Reddit doom scrolling with browsing here. Reddit makes me maybe overly suspicious of people being bots in a lot of the bigger subreddits.

any file can be a csv file if it has a comma in it for example:

"Don't make me think" and "Head empty, no thoughts" have a kind of similar vibe, alluding to a top secret being kept from us about the bimbofication of software engineers leading to the ideal developer platform, in this essay I will
