This was the first women's event she ever played! The woman who got 2nd made her debut tournament appearance at this event, and usually plays cash at MGM. & they played it until 2:22 AM- NO CHOP! #TeamNoChop #WomenPlayPoker #Poker
PS Thanks for calling it "Women's Event", MGM 💜

Many people seem to want to join the mastodon.social instance but it is not currently accepting signups except through invitations.
So here's an invitation link that is valid for the next 24 hours and can be used an infinite number of times:

If you have a daughter in year 8 in England and Wales, year 9 in Northern Ireland, or S2 in Scotland, you can still sign up! The event runs for the rest of this week and part of next – it's free to take part, and a lot of fun. Find out more here: teapawt.net/NCSC/status/1594988421…
It's great to see so many schools taking part in the #CyberFirst Girls Competition online qualifiers.
But don't worry teachers, you've still got time to sign up⚠️

If you're having a hard time grasping how recent this was, Ruby Bridges is younger than celebrities than Jeff Goldblum and Liam Neeson and world leaders like Putin and Xi Jinping. She is a dozen years younger than Joe Biden and 14 years younger than Nancy Pelosi.

Amazing that he managed to reject free speech (activism), free markets (advertisers choices), and personal responsibility (it was all him) all in one tweet.

When men refer to themselves as "alpha males", I hear that in the context of software, where alpha versions are unstable, missing important features, filled with flaws, and not fit for the public. – at Stavanger, Norway

There are now 250,000 diary entries added to Mezzanine. Now if my calculations are correct, that is A QUARTER OF A MILLION flipping diary entries 🤯
Thank you to everyone who has found and used Mezzanine, and especially to the Mezzanine Patrons who support it directly 💕

I lost my job because I spoke to a man the way men speak to me.
This is why women leave the tech industry.
