Dems have a non-socialist mandate from their corporate sponsors. Republicans are fucking up the economy.

They're both sort of hoping that the #EpsteinFiles are enough to pacify us.

We're about to see what happens when the empire is all circuses and no bread.

Learning about the breed of sheep that has evolved to eat only kelp and can no longer abide the grass of its ancestors. Perhaps one day it will return to the sea as a cousin to the seal and the dolphin

[
[![The sheep have evolved a somewhat different physiology from other sheep, due to their unusual diet: their digestive system has adapted to extract the sugars in seaweeds more efficiently. 22] A 2005 study at the University of Liverpool found that they have a greater susceptibility to copper toxicity, when compared with a more traditional breed such as the Cambridge. 145) This is because seaweed has a chemical which inhibits the absorption of copper, so the sheep have to absorb copper more efficiently to obtain the required amount. 122] The levels of copper found in typical sheep feed, including grass, are toxic for this breed. [31][46] Studies at the Universities of Liverpool and Minnesota suggest that they can extract four times more copper from their diet than more traditional breeds. 451[47]]6

Hey #Charlotte, if you want to help businesses resist CBP and ICE, I can adapt this sign specifically for NC. Can also share informational brochure telling businesses their rights to exclude ICE from private spaces.

PSA: despite having Epi-Pens my entire life, literally no doctor ever bothered to tell me the reason they come in 2-packs isn’t so you can keep the backup somewhere else, but because you might get in a situation where one pen doesn’t buy you enough time, and so you shouldn’t separate them.

Positive update on #ChatControl. The EU's member states are set to officially agree to delete forced mass scanning orders (which could undermine encryption) this week!

This puts the protection of civil liberties in a much better situation for final negotiations with the EU Parliament.

However, it doesn't mean that all the proposal's issues have been solved - we're especially worried about the threat of forcing message apps, email services and app stores to perform risky age verification.

Today, showing my daughter — who is an artist — an app I'm working on, and she's noticing this little grocery cart icon (attached).

Her: Where did you get that icon?
Me: I drew it.
Her: Not just found on the Internet?
Me: No, here's the original Inkscape SVG.
Her: What did you use as a reference?
Me: Nothing, I know how a grocery cart looks.
Her: *mind blown*

Feels nice to surprise her in a field where she considers herself proficient, and me usually admitting complete incompetence :-)

The fables of 10x engineers never include:
- updating the docs
- pair programming
- adding meaningful test coverage
- listening to burned-out coworkers
- improving on-call runbooks

The engineers that do these do not seek glory. They plant trees they don't expect to sit under.
