Lover of music, design and other things I'm no good at. Readercon and Typecon were my ideas. Some think I take a decent photo or video now and then.

I know that it’s commonplace nowadays to accuse the other side in a political argument of being Nazis, but it’s hard to argue with that characterization here.
Comments made by Trump in the past few weeks echo statements from Adolf Hitler nearly verbatim.
This has to be intentional. It should be on every front page:
Hitler: I will get rid of the “communist” “vermin”
Trump: I will get rid of the “communist” “vermin”
—
Hitler: I will take care of the “enemy within”
Trump: I will take care of the “threat from within”
—
Hitler: Jews and migrants are poisoning Aryan blood
Trump: Migrants are “poisoning the blood of our country”
—
Hitler: “One People, One Realm, One Leader”
Trump: “One People, One Family, One Glorious Nation”

I'm a retired musician/teacher but, back in the day, I had another life coding mainframe training systems. So, I GOT RID OF THE DOG that is plucking our nerves.

This could be interesting. Full disclosure - there's an 80K plus waitlist, and this is a referral link that might help me get in sooner if you join that waiting list. It *sounds* like the kind of place Twitter was aiming to be long ago.

NYC was my first stop after leaving home, and I went 5 times to this. After a month I ran out of money and spent my last $10 on a ticket to Boston.

In theory, we knew repeated COVID reinfections were bad, but a study out today in @Nature of 5.8 million people shows that each reinfection significantly increases the risks of complications, like diabetes and kidney problems, hospitalizations and death.

These are Arizonans from all walks of life – and they are doing their duty without drama and without ranker. We can learn a lesson from them.

The anti-abortion law that just got resurrected in AZ was part of a code that also said no Black, Indian, or Asian could testify against whites, forbade all marriages between whites and non-whites, and defined the age of consent to be just ten years old.
