My mom was a union organizer for 25 years. I walked picket lines of wildcat strikes with her. We used to run bake sales and trivia nights to support striking workers. You wouldn't survive 3 seconds in her vagina. It would shrivel up what's left of your balls. I miss her terribly.

Nepotism is bad. Hot take, I know. The amount of “but but they would do it too” doesn’t make it less bad. If it’s the wrong thing to do, but the President has that power, how about he does something good for a bunch of people with this power instead of his idiot son.

In case anyone is actually curious what this would do: since the active (or neutral) of each cable’s plug is plugged into the active (or neutral, respectively) of the outlet, there would be no potential difference (voltage) between the terminals and there fore no current would flow.

Jay: Our goal is to give can have fun and feel safe. And so we've already always focused a lot on trust and safety, making sure that users have an ability to have an experience that's free from bots and harassment and spam

On identity: If someone asks your name, you may identify yourself as “Adam”, because you like it. But your birth name is James. Both are correct. One is what you are legally registered as, the other is what you prefer to be called. No one is a “preferred-name exclusionary radical given namer”.

The idea that all manufacturing should be in-country is interesting to me. There’s economy in scale, it is far better for the planet that things that are niche are produced in a few places and distributed elsewhere, instead of produced in small numbers everywhere.

I wonder, this morning, about the impact that cutting financial and medical support to the most vulnerable in a country may have on the civil stability of that country. We’re a few months from seeing the policies enacted, but already seeing increasing distress in the US.

You are up to date.
