As a kid during and after the Vietnam War Era, rumors were flying that the refugees in our neighborhood were stealing and eating pet dogs.
Same shit, different day.
Even as a seven or eight year-old, I had strong suspicions about these racist rumors, and actually had school friends from these families.

If populist political parties campaigning against immigration genuinely wanted to limit immigration, they would make climate change one of their top priorities - as climate change is 100% going to drive migration.

A portion of our planet is going to become uninhabitable in the lifetime of our children, which will drive people to migrate.

like ideally none of this worked this way and I appreciate the public backlash to his boss's ineptitude is probably a bummer for him. still, of course! complaining to the governor is my civic right and duty! and yet. this is such a funny way of telling me to get a job

twice now, when I've called the governor's office to leave a comment urging her to move forward on congestion pricing, the aide who answers the phone "mistakenly" "misunderstands" and offers to transfer me right over to unemployment services

regrettably, i have to concede it's a great bit

I'm getting word from activists at City Hall this morning reporting an excessive deployment of police by SPD and the city council.

During this morning's city safety council meeting council members held public comment about SOAP/SODA legislation which aims to jail and fine sex workers and homeless people $5k for existing in major parts of town.

CM Cathy Moore's loitering laws have caused significant community resistance so council members cut short public comment.

📢 New post: The State of ES5 on the Web.

For years, we defaulted to transpiling to ES5 in order to support IE. But is that still necessary?

I took a look at the data to find out, and I'll just say that the results were *actually* quite surprising! 🙀

• a digital painting of a fantasy sword, with the hilt in the bottom lefthand corner and the tip in the upper right. this sword is unusually shaped, with two bulbous sections along the blade. its color is blueish, resembling ice, but its surface is very cracked and dirty, and a bright crater-like deformation appears in the lower bulb.

• a digital painting of a fantasy sword, with the hilt in the bottom lefthand corner and the tip in the upper right. the hilt of the sword appears to resemble dark clouds, surrounding a bright white disk of the sun. they are outlined in white and orange. the blade appears to be made of rays of the sun pushing through the clouds, that are yellow close to the disk, and fade out to blue at the tip. (remote)
• a digital painting of a fantasy sword, with the hilt in the bottom lefthand corner and the tip in the upper right. the sword appears to be entirely made of a blue crab, with the hilt made up of its body and most of its legs, and the blade itself being a giant oversized claw protruding slightly from the lift side. the crab is painted in blues and greens, with accents of red-orange at the tips of the serrated large claw.

Does anyone know anybody at #Meta ???
They just suddenly closed my account saying it's related to a random Instagram cat fishing account that I never heard of and has got nothing to with me. My main customer base is on Facebook for my small handmade jewelry business. Can you please reblog to help me reach anyone at Meta?

I'm on board with Mallaby's critique that persuasion is important, and that maybe Krugman paints followers with the same brush as leaders, closing off those pathways.

But R "leaders" are not leading, and the capitulations and cravenness was in full view by early 2020. It's hard to imagine a more fated errand than this piece. But you know, presumably it got the author some knowing nods at think-tank cocktail parties for a couple of weeks.
