I used break things and write detailed reports but now I'm management. Rapid Prototyper. Maker. Apprentice Knifemaker. Sometimes I try to help explain social situations to dudes. Trans rights are human rights and Black lives matter. I love you.

This gutter racism is based entirely on ignorance; there's a huge array of literature and science in Arabic going back centuries.but one would think the fact we're using Arabic numerals and something called "algebra" would be enough to show this obvious lie for what it is:

The Bulwark@thebulwark.com

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

Racists think you're too dumb to notice their lies, or will ignore them because their lies will comfort you and give them power as a result. We don't have to fall for this; mock their ignorance and ask them how stupid they think you are and watch them squirm. Make racism embarrassing again.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
@lastweektonight.com

This weekโ€™s main story is about how more and more white nationalists, antisemites, and Nazi sympathizers seem to be integrating into the Republican Party, how some of them are currently running for office, and how old you can be for JD Vance to consider you โ€œa very young boy.โ€

It occurs to me that services like SendCutSend or @pcbwayofficial.bsky.social's CNC are making it possible to do even more expansive open-source hardware that allows people who don't have access to certain tools to participate for a reasonable cost. My next project may have to include this idea.

There are design considerations where "download this STL and order it in steel from your favorite service" can really improve things over a pure 3D printed design. I was looking at a high end HOTAS setup with a friend and some of those high stress parts benefit from metal over plastic.

Yes. I was one of those kids. I spent almost 5 years as a Ward of the State. If you are also a survivor know that you're not alone and I'm so proud of you for overcoming all that.

Do you know how bad the abuse has to be for a judge to remove kids from their birth mother? Just saw Amy Actonโ€™s CNN interview about that Ramaswamy ad and , listen, I lived in NC through the Willie Horton ad era. Iโ€™m not precious. This is so disgusting that I wish I believed in hell. I really do.

I am fortunate to have been able to get a lot of therapy and rebuild a relationship with my parents as an adult. It was not easy, quick, or likely but I'm fortunate it worked out.

No more Mass Effect. The games industry has been increasingly depressing to watch the last few years. I wish I could fix it. Or some small corner of it.

If you read interviews you'll see how expensive and time consuming it is to maintain this sort of shape; most folks simply cannot and should not consider this realistic. I've worked with folks with eating disorders before; we have to push back against the social pressure to do the impossible.
