Every day for 10 days I’m gonna share something that brings me joy.

Why? To remind myself why it’s worth fighting fascism. And I hope that it brings a little delight to your timeline as well.

Why 10 days? 🤷🏻♂️

Let’s be joyful together. Please feel welcome to add a delight from your day to the mix.

Day 1:
Multigrain Cheerios with fruit and walnuts, with vanilla soy milk.

@kims then they should have fucking voted for him. Or anyone but a fascist psychopath.

It’s wild how all the ignorant people are waking up now that their own decisions are having a personal impact.

@kims “Dracula.” I laughed. And then I was like “why you gotta do Dracula like that?”

@kims fuck them. Forever. Spineless boot lickers.

@kims I’ll queue this up, too. I added her feed to my reader. So now I’ll see her stuff regularly. Thank you for putting her on my radar.

@kims I’ve never heard of Allie or her comics/writing. I look forward to reading that long essay. Thank you so much for the well wishes and the link.

@kims 😂

I love the camel case vs pascal case debate. Some argue if the first letter is capitalized, it’s pascal case. Others argue that they’re interchangeable. Others argue that the full/formal name “upper camel case” be used when the first letter is capitalized.

In my opinion, camel case is a colloquialism for pascal case, being more familiar to most folks.

More on this ambiguity and why simply saying “camel case” is most likely understood to mirror pascal case:

@BeAware yeah, I keep seeing little things lately that make me unhappy with them. It's really too bad.

I wonder if they thought seas of people would flock to their instance. If that was the plan, I can see an exec pulling the plug. They only have 270 accounts. But with 29k followers, they're throwing away a huge audience. One that really should be their people.

Anyway, this is disappointing to hear.

Hey, Oregon neighbors. If you’re giving NW Natural extra money every month for sustainable energy, you're paying for lies. @ProPublica has exposed their deception. So much for the "less we can" campaign.

Some wisdom from a Japanese gamer. As a designer I thought about it in the context of UX. But, really, it can be applied to most any challenge in life.

Saw this game at the retro game store. Yeah. That price tag is no joke. $1k for an NES game.

Bonk’s Adventure? I had to look it up.

“I just think goodness is more interesting. Evil is constant. You can think of different ways to murder people, but you can do that at age five. But you have to be an adult to consciously, deliberately be good, and that’s complicated.”

@jacklaridian I’ll spend my energy how I like, thanks. If this is of no interest to you, you’re welcome to ignore the poll and move on with your day.

@jacklaridian perhaps this is because you’re he/him. Same as me.

I believe we have a responsibility to consider the experiences of people of other identities. I would call that empathy, not overthought.

Aside from that, there are indeed related variables. For example, women get “cat called.” And there’s also the related vagina slang.

I’m not saying this is an issue. I’m asking the question as a man who wants to be respectful with my language.

30,000 union workers for Samsung in Korea are on strike. That’s 24% of its workforce.

They planned on striking for 3 days, but when negotiations were refused the workers said their strike would be indefinite.

Power to the people. ✊🏻💪🏻🔥

Injuries I’ve sustained this month:

1. Ripped cornea
2. Kneecap bone bruise
3. Bruised palms
4. Sprained wrist
5. Broken arm
6. Broken tooth

The Universe is really taking me for a ride, but I’m in good spirits. I’m whining a lot, though. 😂

NTV Japan hosts a show called “Masquerade.” It’s basically an open mic, but for video. People create performances, make their own props, and everything.

This clip is from a Masquerade skit called “Surprising Karate Dojo.”
