If you’ve seen the pictures of the guys with guns guarding CHAZ, read this thread for full backstory. In short, the SPD pulled a Dick Cheney: planted a fake story with some Judith Millers & then cited the story they planted.
So, to recap: - Police perpetrate a hoax about impending racist violence. - CHAZ moves to defend itself and each other. - A far-right blogger makes up a story about e...
So, I've pushed back hard on the whole 10X developer nonsense…but I'm starting to think maybe there's something to it. Here's my take: A 10X developer writes code primarily so it can be understood by others. A 1X dev writes only for their own clarity. What does this mean?
Know any good books about the South African Truth and Reconciliation commission? "... a commission is a necessary exercise to enable South Africans to come to terms with their past on a morally accepted basis and to advance the cause of reconciliation." justice.gov.za/trc/
As a WW2 buff (yes, white guy in his 50’s here), my childhood admiration for Churchill has been tempered as I learned some of these stories through my research. Read this thread. twitter.com/dralakbarov/st…

I just realized that the first few seasons of GoT, as they caught up to the existing novels, were pre-Hayes-Code. The latter seasons are all Hayes Code. Helps explain my disappointment.

This is grotesque. watch the Nassau county cop slam on the brakes to give them an excuse to beat a protestor whose words they didn't like. from Instagram user mike_mo516/

Oh @hbo if you’re looking for something that could be the new GoT, may I point you to Madeline Miller’s Circe? Swords, sorcery, gods, & monsters with a fine narrative drive wrapped in a package that avoids the male gaze as a primary PoV, all nested in classic Greek tragedy
@btopro gonna attend your HaxCamp next week. Give you a real chance to convince to move my website from PHP to web components,

I am proposing a session for IndieWebCamp West Coast: “Keeping Track of Books and Reading Progress.”

I would like to discuss the use-cases and experiences of using our websites to:

  1. track books we want to read
  2. categorize (or “shelve”) books
  3. track reading progress

Most of my personal experience has been around tracking books I want to read. It is probably more accurate to classify those as want posts instead of read posts. I’d like to discuss the differences between these three types of posts and what they look like on our sites. Regarding categorizing books, we should also discuss Library JSON.

This session is broader than indiebookclub but will likely have an impact on it. indiebookclub creates posts with a status of to-read, reading, or finished. The first is probably a want post and the others seem to be reading progress posts.

Welcome to the weekend

At 7:44PM, I clocked out and am officially done with the past 7 months of working 65+ hours a week at 3 jobs without a day off. One week of activism, rest, cleaning the house, @ohmydollar and then I begin to just be ONLY (GASP) a full-time employee with a side business.
