I'm officially looking for new work! Contracts are great as they'd allow me to be a bit more flexible; but full time work is most ideal. Remote (US). My resume lives on my site at https://jacky.wtf/work. I'm open to Ruby, Rust and JavaScript roles currently. (https://jacky.wtf/2023/10/Mh0p)
Substack may have an easy to use platform, but its leadership has become a liability to all the non-Nazis who use it.
I’ll have more concrete details on my migration plans for Disconnect soon. It’s not something that can be done overnight, especially during the holidays.
Who Investigates the Sheriff? In Mississippi, Often No One.
The state ignored or was unaware of allegations of jailhouse rape, brutal beatings and corrupt acts by sheriffs and their deputies, even when there was ample evidence to examine.

MORE IMPORTANTLY . IT'S WHY THE GOP WILL LIMIT HIS DEBATES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!. THEY WANT THE VOTES! NOT THE MAN!

@flexghost 💯 You know a republican is lying if they’re talking. What’s scary is how many Americans prefer the lie to the truth and would rather pretend there’s no problem than to Just deal with it.
Fake Taylor Swift Quotes Are Being Used to Spread Anti-Ukraine Propaganda
A disinformation campaign led by a group linked to Russia's GRU is using images of celebrities like Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Justin Bieber, and Oprah to lambast Ukraine.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @julieofthespirits I remember that moment in time! We all owe you a debt of gratitude.
Did you know Monopoly was invented by a woman named Elizabeth Magie in 1903?
Originally ‘The Landlord’s Game,’ it was designed as a protest against the big monopolists like Carnegie & Rockefeller.
But it was Charles Darrow, an unemployed salesman, who eventually sold it to Parker Brothers after playing a version.
Parker Brothers credited Monopoly with saving their company. Magie died in 1948 without recognition. Darrow became very wealthy & his legend lives on. #history
@jeffowski @admin On it.
@admin I reported this guy for about a couple dozen obvious offenses to your rules, including specific threats. Please terminate this troll at your earliest convenience.
Like a lot of creators, I was enticed by NFTs and the promise of a new creator economy. To me, it was an opportunity to assign value to digital goods, to sell digital copies of my books and art prints. After engaging with the space for 4 years, losing my life's savings in a hack, being doxxed, receiving death threats and being abused by speculators when they couldn't flip my art and books for a profit, I can tell you now: my best advice is to stay away from it all.
I just agreed to have a documentary filmmaker come film my farm and my sky full of satellites in February. This'll be interesting!
(I've done this before with a CNN crew https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/04/world/satellite-pollution-night-sky-view-scn/index.html, but I think the documentary aspect will be very very different)
I hope this documentary will be a powerful tool for telling people how the billionaire space race is destroying so much: the atmosphere, the environment around rocket launch sites, and of course the increasingly bad mess in orbit.
Twitter elites are dopamine addicts. I get plenty of good information here, from full-fledged journalists, to the people I would have 'friended' on Facebook 15 years ago (yourself included). If the 'elites' aren't providing it, someone else will. There is still excellent journalism being passed along on Mastodon and the fediverse, in general.
Bluesky and Threads will have their place. I trust this place will continue to grow, too.
It's only been a year since the first big migration...
+ From the beginning our heads have been stuffed with lies, lies about beheaded babies, lies about babies stuffed in ovens, lies about Hamas bombing its own hospitals, lies about journalists working for Hamas, lies about fabricated casualty figures, lies Hamas using hospitals as command-and-control centers. Lies that seemed transparent at the time, yet were embraced as fact by politicians and media elites. Lies that took weeks to fully unravel, by which time their purpose had been served. Lies which led to the deaths of thousands.

Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
