Psst…

Hey, journalists. Yeah, those of you licking boots right now. THIS is how you write a headline.

Thank you, Michael Tomasky.

Whoa. A security cam in Myanmar captured an earthquake fault rupture live. This may be the first ever caught on camera?

Watch the fence-line on the right. And note the power-line tower behind it.

“President Donald Trump…dismissed the top copyright official in the nation, a position traditionally overseen by the legislative branch.

Federal law provides that the Register of Copyrights be appointed by and supervised by the Librarian of Congress. The previous Librarian of Congress, Carla Hayden, was fired Thursday by the White House with no reason provided in a two sentence email. This action once again tramples on Congress’s Article One authority”

To all of the republicans who voted for a lying, racist, misogynistic, xenophobic, ableist, homophobic, transphobic, rapist so they could lower their food bill: fuck you.

Last month we paid $52.99 for our dog food.

This month it costs $97.99.

@cwebber Will this be recorded and posted to the same PeerTube account?

Regarding Meta’s camera glasses (not calling them “smart” because they’re not).

In 2013 I worked on these glasses. Not Meta’s, but an Intel version. We killed the project after generative research. Why? Because it became clear how invasive they would be.

We couldn’t find a way around that. So ethics said stop.

Meta says they don’t care. Of course.

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.
