Pay attention. In the next few days, it's almost certain Trump will deliberately say outrageous things. He'll do it to distract attention from his executive orders on things like birthright citizenship, healthcare, trans rights, etc. The story is what he's distracting from, not his fartlighting.

I'm surprised that so many on here seem to "take the bait" with the Musk Nazi salute thing.

I am no fan of Musk- he seems like someone who was more lucky and risk tolerant than smart.

But Musk himself denies that was the intent of the gesture- isn't that sufficient? Wouldn't it be so much worse if he said, "yes, I made this gesture because I believe in white supremacy!" No one is physically harmed by a gesture.

Attention is oxygen for the Musk/Trump fire.

If anyone wants their own personal copy of Wikipedia on their computer, phone or tablet, a copy that cannot be deleted or edited by anyone else, there's an app called @kiwix that makes this possible:

https://kiwix.org

You can use the same app to install offline copies of lots of wiki-powered sites and many others too. I have a copy of WikiVoyage on my phone so wherever I go there's always some kind of info about it without needing an internet connection.

There are many messages in the tech barons' presence at Trump's oath of office (god the hypocrisy), but one you should be clear on is that they are now partners with the regime.

They will sell you out in a heartbeat if it'll make the regime less inclined to hold them to account.

Trump's executive order resumes executions, after Biden dialed them back


The Department of Justice will seek the death penalty for capital crimes "committed by an alien illegally present in this country." Lawyers say the order could be difficult to enforce.

I’ve been involved in software development for awhile but I don’t code. So how am I involved in development? My skillsets:
  • QA
  • Documentation
  • Project management
  • UI/UX testing
  • Product iteration
But I think my superpower is getting people to give a damn about what coders make. And like it or not, that’s what coders need.

CORRECTION: I code, but never in a professional context. I’ve made a few games, mostly just stuff to amuse me.

The reason I don’t code though is because there’s already a lot of coders out there, and I add nothing by contributing my own code beyond a fix here or there.

And also, coding demands you sit there and really focus on solving a problem, and then trying to figure out what went wrong after you thought you solved the problem.

Coders get deep in the weeds. So deep in the weeds it’s hard for them to get a bird’s eye view of their own work. You think you made something common sense, only to discover it’s not.

That’s why coders need people who are not in the weeds to help them out.

For example, the DNC should've had commercials w/ health ins execs around a table talking smack about cancer patients & stamping DENIED in red letters on their forms, saying "No medical care for this schmuck, I want to buy a villa on the Mediterranean." They laugh.

The voice-over says: "Meet the real death panels," - a slideshow of health ins execs & their annual compensation packages appears on the screen.

Strong opposition to Medicare for All from insurance industry An organization called Partnership for America’s Health Care Future, whose members include pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies, and private hospitals, has been running an online advertising campaign aimed at undermining support of Medicare for All, the colloquial term for a single-payer health platform that is popular among some Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Collaboration among industries to oppose health care reform efforts isn’t new, but collective opposition to Medicare for All appears especially strong, according to a March 7, 2019 Center for Responsive Politics article. John McDonough, professor of the practice of public health at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who helped craft the Affordable Care Act (ACA), said that he heard from industry lobbyists every day as he worked on the bill. He noted that the final version of the ACA included many concessions to industry players, but noted that negotiations around Medicare for All could prove to be much more difficult, especially due to opposition from insurance companies.
