@amszmidt @danwentzel right. Sounds like I’m your strawman for some of your feelings about the US right now, I get it but don’t super appreciate it. I could defend what I have done and my family history dealing with Nazis but that would be me personally, not the strawman you are attacking.

@amszmidt @danwentzel I’m saying “I can’t believe it” rhetorically of course. Like “I can’t believe these shoes are on sale”. Of course I believe it.

Please let me know if anyone knows any temporary housing or support in NYC for a trans woman who has just been outed to her family. She currently doesn’t have a safe place to go right now. She does amazing CSS stuff. She has unfortunately aged out of a lot of trans youth programs.

I want to live in boring times and do interesting things.

People make fun of the “what happens in the booth stays in the booth” election ads, but I know poll workers who have had to keep husbands out of their wive’s voting booths because they had to “make sure she votes right”. When I was phone banking I also talked with a woman who’s husband or boyfriend was clearly around and it almost definitely changed the nature of the call. Voter intimidation by men is a real problem and I’m glad these ads address it.

@anildash They had this (target display mode) feature until 2014. It’s a real shame they dropped it.

Working on a type foundry’s email marketing campaign and I think I’ve cracked 🫠

We need to stop making sci-fi until tech bros can learn the difference between a warning and an aspiration.

🤞🏻 Ceasefire in Gaza

Well shit…

This deal included a ceasefire, path to more lasting peace, a path to humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza, and release of all hostages.

@evan power over what? Education? Trade? Foreign policy?

@zachleat @mia I’m a huge fan of the cascade powdered stuff in the box. Super cheap, recyclable cardboard packaging, and you can sprinkle a little extra in to prewash and the dishes come out extra clean ✨

@anniegreens I feel your pain. I grab 3 boxes every time I see it in stock at Target @zachleat @mia

@thomasfuchs maybe they ran out of TP and needed something really quick.

@evan Hm, I wasn’t saying we have no train infrastructure, I was saying it’s not great. My LA to SD trip is inconvenient and expensive and there is little infrastructure in SD to arrive to.

My DC to NYC trips the train has been ok. A little annoying on the DC side.

DC to ATL Amtrak runs on rail owned by shipping companies, who get priority and almost always results in delays. That said, the sleeper car experience is nice.

@evan I would also prefer to have good public transport at my destination. As a US person taking this poll it was entirely hypothetical and not based in reality. Yes I would prefer the train but that is almost never an option.
