Gaiman: " If you really can't figure out which political party or which politician to vote for, just ask if they're on the side of libraries. Are they voting to fund their libraries? Are they voting to keep them free? Then vote for those guys. They're probably the good guys. And by the same token, the book burners, the book banners, they're probably the bad guys."

Don’t supersize me: The case for small electric cars instead of big SUVs

Small cars are good for us but bad for business.

Trump wants his D.C. trial put off until April 2026.

The judge should agree, but only after ordering pre-trial detention.

@briankrebs sort of related-- I haven't used it yet, but goblin.tools has this "Judge" tool that I've seen recommended: enter your text, and it tells you how it comes across qualitatively. The whole site is tools to help neurodivergent folks communicate better with the normals online, avoiding misunderstanding, bad assumptions about intent, etc.

Apple needs to add Mastodon to the list of social profile choices in Contacts. Adding a custom Mastodon field does nothing when an address is clicked in iOS 17 beta. Overdue. cc @pschiller

Sadly, over 2/3 of us were laid off from SuperHi yesterday. I’ll miss being a part of that team, wish them all the very best! More context: https://piperhaywood.com/a-long-overdue-work-update/

I’m looking for new opportunities that would suit a design-adjacent front-end engineer who is passionate about accessibility, documentation, and building maintainable codebases. Ideally looking for a remote role at a USA- or UK-based org, or in-person at an NYC-based org.

Boosts appreciated! 💙

Sharing for visibility would be much appreciated.

August marks two years since the Taliban took over Afghanistan. But this is not the only time they have held power in the war-torn country. During the first period of Taliban rule from 1996 to 2001, the people of Afghanistan suffered extensive hardships, many of which are repeating today. https://projects.voanews.com/life-under-the-taliban-tale-of-two-eras/ #voanews #voiceofamerica

KeePassXC 2.7.6 released https://keepassxc.org/blog/2023-08-15-2.7.6-released/ #opensource #password

Idea for a subject-specific Fediverse account.

1 - 3 times per day, post a brief summary of a criminal defendant, on charges as close to what Trump is charged with, and how they were treated (i.e. mugshot, jailed while awaiting trial, dependent on public attorney, etc.) to contrast with the favorable treatment Trump gets.

It would be a running comparison of real-life consequences for regular people and how Trump is treated differently. Incorporate the "two-tiered justice system" framing as well.

🤷‍♂️

It's hard to be sure exactly what is happening, but I'm certainly getting the vibe that I need to be looking for work again.
