Chilling to think that anyone -- even the former president -- can be indicted for falsifying business records in order to funnel hush money to a porn star

Friends can we please actually get back over to Mastodon. Every time I come back here it's like revisiting the social media profile of an abusive ex. I don't want to hang around.

Fun fact: Pentagon confirmed that THREE Chinese spy balloons flew over the US during Trump’s presidency and he shot down zero.
I just spoke with our GREAT America First President Trump. He would have never allowed China to fly a spy balloon over our country and our military bases and assets. Pres Trump would have shot it down before it entered the US. And so would I.

BTW, this misinformation technique – pinning all bad outcomes on vaccines – comes right out of the misinfo playbook. In fact, I predicted its use in Dec. 2020, just as the mRNAs were rolling out. Sad that it works as often as it does. It kills. (2/2) xitter.cf/Bob_Wachter/status/133…

13/ 3rd concern: misinformation. Below: if we vaccinate 10M Americans, how many will develop a serious illness in 2 months after they got their shots. Answer: many thousands (& I’ve only included 4 illnesses, plus death). And the vaccines will have zero to do with any of them.

A quick reminder to everyone that drag has been a core part of anglophone culture forever and that there is absolutely nothing inherently sexual or non-kid friendly about it.

Research reflects what should be obvious: More guns means more gun deaths and violence, not more safety and security. The U.S. leads the world in gun ownership and gun violence. By far. Only Yemen---that's right, YEMEN!--experiences more. nytimes.com/2017/11/07/world…

By acquiring Twitter, Musk got the opportunity to publicly display how good he is at business. Instead, he has made Twitter less profitable, less talented and less functional. he is a petty, unlikeable charlatan with no clue how this company works. ez.substack.com/p/the-fraudu…

At the cusp of puberty, 2 HS boys in a truck catcalled me while I walked home from school, demanded I talk to them, got threatening when I refused and ran, and actually *chased me*. I got home sobbing. Mom called the police to report an attempted abduction. Cops did nothing.
This is a message to men in relationships with women Particularly if you're with a woman over the age of 35 There's something you need to know about your girl:

“Senior devs have an obligation to understand business drivers and be able to put tech debt in the language meaningful for that domain” may be one of the most penetrating, insightful sentences I’ve read on this hellsite in months.

If the numbers are justified with some data, and the PM won't accept them, it's a bad PM. But senior devs have an obligation to understand business drivers and he able to put tech debt in the language meaningful for that domain.

How did I end up with close to 800 followers, most of whom I don’t know? I didn’t think there were that many people into fire and jello. Well, anyway, I’m making a concerted effort to stick to mastodon - go find me there.
