If this day continues trending even a little bit in the way it has already, I will need to officially recommend to my clients that we find alternative tools because Basecamp is toast. In my entire 25-yr career as a software developer, I’ve never seen so much destruction so fast.
Let's keep track of the folks who are leaving @Basecamp and do what we can to find them a new home where they're allowed to exist without being told they're divisive:
people be like: only 85% *of the people who actually watched Biden's address to Congress approved of it* so neener-neener and I be like: who cares who disapproved of a speech *they didn't even watch*? lolz 😆
Combatting this type of bad faith campaign is exhausting and distracting from the work of actually reporting. Sadly, it's also often necessary:
I've spent the past few days dealing with @Oracle VP @KenGlueck's attempts to dig up dirt on me. Now let's turn to his lies. @Oracle, delete the false accusations. 1/...
My heart goes out to the top Basecamp lieutenants who are now resigning. 🥺 What makes this even more devastating is the very real threat it poses to the future of Rails-and-adjacent OSS. We need *an independent Rails foundation* and we needed it last week. Who's starting it?
Purchased a silver iMac for my brother in Phoenix this morning. 8gb ram, 512gb replacement for a still functioning 2010 iMac. No refund value. Enjoying the process vicariously.
Tomorrow.
What are the odds we get an investigation podcast that’s going to tear the lid off upstart and other pillars of the debt-cancellation loan industry now that their ads are friggin’ everywhere
I hope it wasn’t onion soup. Probably very painful to get that in your eyes.

Just like anti-choicers are really anti-birth-control in ANY form, and inevitably become violent: Read this thread on the rise of violence among antivaxxers who are really against any form of public health

Forgot to mention. The statement by the leader of "Mamalitia" that ""public health is public enemy #1" is very consistent with what I've been saying about antivaxxers all...

Thanks for the recommendation, @YouTube! I wasn't sure I was going to remember this was happening tomorrow 😅 #FourFriendsAndAPearl @PhotoJoseph @HereToRecord @CurtisJudd @EpiphanVideo
Watched the first episode of HBO’s “The Nevers” last night. Two things are clear: (1) It will be loved by a particular group of people. (2) There is likely zero overlap between that group and TV critics. I hope it makes it. Victorian steampunk sci-fi female superheroes?!
They missed the perfect opportunity to do this on Ford’s private jet so he could use the proper last line.

Basecamp's founders only want to discuss politics that directly relate to their products. OK, here we go: Why can't I report a message in Basecamp for hate speech or otherwise grossly offensive content? I'm looking at their iOS app right now and there's no way to file a report.
