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.

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)

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.
