A reminder that the “trans lobby” is just trans people going about their lives, and the “fight” being referred to is JK Rowling using her money, power and influence to endorse policy that is killing trans people. I’m amazed she could move to type a new essay with the layers of blood on her hands.

i’m on vacation this week and am not generally paying attention to social media, but i feel obligated as a member of the technology industry to say that i want absolutely no part of a “Technological Republic.” what a puerile, ahistorical and amoral set of aims. twitter-thread.com/t/2045574398...

"I'm just calling to see what the Senator is doing today to prevent war crimes?" is not a phone call I had ever planned to make.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Since this is the last social media site I use I don't have anywhere else to brag about my Thanksgiving brisket cook.

All I'm saying is, if you're someone who has to go to tons of meetings, you should set "meetings" just for yourself, to book time for getting things done
