On Saturday, health insurance premiums are projected to double for millions of Americans and 42 million working families will lose the benefits that keep them fed.

This weekend, join the No Kings Alliance and millions of Americans, from rural farms to suburban neighborhoods to city centers, who are coming together to provide mutual aid and care for our communities. https://www.nokings.org/alliance

Me, six months ago: "This is elegant, maintainable, future-proof code!"

Also me, today: "Who the hell wrote this shit?!"

It's funny how code apparently decomposes even though not a single byte has changed.

Once again arguing with myself over whether I should wait for the “better” MacBook Pro M5s in a few months, or whether an M5 MBP with 32G of RAM would be more than enough. (The Mac Studio has an M1 Max in it, which means it has over 2x the memory bandwidth of the M5—but how much does that matter?)

This is your regularly scheduled reminder that susceptibility to authoritarian, fascist and/or populist rhetoric isn't determined by 'intelligence', or education.

There are plenty of university-educated assholes out there who, despite being perfectly capable of reaching the logical conclusion based on the data available, reject that truth because it is inconvenient to them and their underlying convictions.

That is how a hate preacher with a Hungarian wife campaigns on closing the borders and a 'This is YOUR land' slogan, a Turkish refugee who came to this country as a child tries to outcompete him as the leader of the VVD, framing the party she once worked for as 'the radical left', and a gay man with an Argentine partner decided to move to the right for this campaign, and start waving Dutch flags at a time when they are very much a symbol of nationalist fervour, and hate.

People aren't being snookered into this. It is not because people aren't being 'heard'. It is a CHOICE, plain and simple, and one they keep making, over and over.

I am in live chat with two different insurance companies at the same time, because they both have me listed as an active customer, which is making it impossible for me to schedule a doctor's appointment. American healthcare, woo!
