This is important to pay attention to. Trump's saying the quiet part of the plan out loud. With the midterms increasingly looking like a bloodbath for the GOP, he's calling on the Republicans to take over the election. This is what an attempt to end democracy looks like.

In light of Pride month I'm fundraising for Point of Pride, an incredible trans-led nonprofit that provides direct gender affirming care & things like HRT to trans ppl in need. Please, please donate any small amount that you can. Every bit makes a major impact! secure.givelively.org/donate/point...

Rubyists! I'll be co-hosting a SQLite "office hours" with all-around good guy @fractaledmind.bsky.social at the final #RailsConf in Philly (on Day 2 of the conf!) If you've got any questions about using SQLite or deploying it into production, we'd love to help! Get your ticket here: railsconf.org

Man, Bluesky golf feeds are anemic.

Democrats who want to move away from small dollar donors are actually Republicans and no, you cannot change my mind:

51% of Canadians believe the government should approach the United States as a threat or as an enemy. Far fewer now see it as a friend or ally. Canadians have a less favourable view of the US than India, a country which murdered Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.

It's actually amazing how quickly the institutions of American democracy have toppled over. We're watching America barrel into a constitutional crisis of a magnitude of which I don't think is appreciated in mainstream media (Manufactured Consent and all)...

Say it again! Down with platform internet!

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Man, it's so crazy how good PGA Tour players are. A -10 is like T21.

So excited!

Y'all ever check up on previous projects and see simultaneously how much has changed and how much hasn't?

haha I feel personally attacked as well.

We want everyone to just pause, and reflect on this post. Someone wanted a history of chicken nuggets. They GOT a history of chicken nuggets. This is why AskHistorians exist. Human curiosity is a wonderful thing, and historians are wonderful things.

Just posted my first little #gamedev devlog for it: afomera.itch.io/rockshaw-mea...
