@fromjason it’s such a simple rule for explaining oddities in America: “would doing this right have required white people to share?”

A not-so-fun tidbit of NYC sanitation: it has a racist history where well into the 70s, trash was not collected in Black and brown neighborhoods.
It took a Puerto Rican street gang called the Young Lords to change that. They would throw trash from their neighborhood into white neighborhoods up the street until NYC finally caved.
Services born of systemic racism never work well, because what if non-white people benefit?

Of all the conservative political attacks, "buying votes" is the funniest to me.
Yes, Democrats introduced a popular policy. You guys know you can do that too, right? You don't have to keep doing shit people hate. You can literally just do something the public wants. It's not cheating.

Genuinely huge news from the American Psychological Association, which just voted 153-9 to pass a new policy agenda supporting transgender healthcare, actively dismantling the misinformation and lies ABOUT trans people and their healthcare needs, and calling for a complete repeal of all anti-trans bills, nationwide. It isn't federal law, but it is huge and will have a beneficial impact in a number of places in the US.
Well done on the APA, here, doing what they can to protect trans people.

If you have a chance while in Washington, DC, make sure to visit the Smithsonian National Museum of American History exhibit featuring the work of Susan Kare at Design your Own Icon, a hands-on exhibit where you flip black and white tiles to create your own icon on the screen. 😀

“In 2000, Sam Lea converted his once-productive Willamette Valley onion field back into wetlands. The third-generation Oregon farmer excavated several ponds and largely left the land alone. Soon, willows arrived on the wind. Then tule appeared. About five years ago, he noticed wapato had sprouted. The edible tuber, a traditional food for Pacific Northwest Indigenous peoples, is now flourishing. [..] ‘If you look at it now, you’d think we planted it all,’ Lea said”

Threads is built on Instagram. Instagram has an API. Meta, then Facebook, literally invented GraphQL. They're not building an API. They're building a fucking federation protocol lol.
