Trans genocide in the US is not hypothetical, we are past "build up", it is literally happening. The US *currently* has internal refugees because of this. Children are being taken from their families, having necessary medication they already take illegalized.

Little thread: I had a patient today who was a little elderly black woman. She was telling me that she really didn’t want to go to the hospital because her hair wasn’t done and she notices that yt doctors and nurse treat her differently when her hair is done vs. when it isn’t.

Dell BIOS update util, 2017: Flashed latest bios, machine bricked. Service boot not possible. Friend dumps the chip contents: “<html><title>Error 404: File not found…” Floppy-based MS-DOS BIOS updaters had certificate and checksum checkers 20 years earlier. Now it’s too hard.

What I wanted: a web page. What I got: a Facebook page telling me to download an iPhone app that will render a web page in a Webkit view.

California state ballot initiatives are worded like “Vote no if don’t not want thing to do not happen, or will” and if you fuck it up you legalize babies working for Instacart

Autocrats warn that only their iron fist protects us from anarchy. (In this binary view, democracy isn't an option.) So, too, for classroom traditionalists/behaviorists, who justify bribe-&-threat control of kids by invoking the specter of chaos, as if that's the only alternative

Yet again, the media has not learned its lesson from 2016. The NY Times writing about an antisemitic, anti-democratic, election denying, pro-insurrectionist, QAnon believer as if she were an underdog sports figure returning from an injury.

Crime has been going down for 30 years. Crime is at its lowest point in 40 years. Anyone who tells you different is selling something by scaring you. Probably a prison.

If you give the slightest whit of a care about 1980s-2000s computer and software history, your mind is about to be very blown. Some people worked very hard on this, and anonymous credit to them. So, set aside your week, this is going to be change everything for you.

Infuriating: One day after competing without headscarf at Asian Climbing Competition, #Iran’s Elnaz Rekabi has gone missing, phone confiscated, @IranWireEnglish reports that she is being flown to Evin prison. Cruel doesn’t even begin to describe it:
