"A Mississippi slaughterhouse that supplies chicken to Chick-fil-A is directly to blame for the death of a 16-year-old worker who was sucked into equipment in July and killed within minutes."

I work with teens every day and can't get this story out of my mind. Despite this the push to weaken labor regulations continues.

This is where all those "right to work" for teens laws lead.

Children should be in algebra class, goddamit.

Hello, I am #newhere
I am not from Twitter, and I don't like the culture that arose from that site.

I do understand the lure of the shitpost, but I don't think it does anything good for anyone.

I like philosophy, although I am wrong about everything (from your perspective).

I believe that people who like logic don't tend to understand logic.

I believe there are bullets that must be bitten, but not at any cost.

I am opposed to fascism, and believe there are natural limits to all freedoms, including the freedom of speech.

Do no harm might not be the whole of the law, however, it is a good start.

Gentle reminder: Whenever someone is trying to sell you a story about welfare fraud, they're actually just trying to make it harder for deserving applicants to get the help they need.

Stories about welfare fraud are 100% about making it hard for people to get help.
Measures to combat fraud all amount to making the walls higher.
There is absolutely zero effort made to check whether it reduces valid applications, and also zero effort made to check whether it reduces fraudulent applications.

So, next time someone wants to tell you about "social scrounging" or whatever fancy-ass vocab they've made up for their bullshit, just tell them to go fuck themselves, in the nicest possible way.

Sometimes I still sit here and think about how 3 years ago, scientists pulled off a fucking miracle of developing 3 brand new vaccines for a novel virus that had never had a vaccine for it before in like 6 months, scaled it out to produce billions of doses, and then like 40% of the country just said "nah".

"All that remains"

2/2

Netanyahu "has never been a partner for peace with any Palestinian faction.

"His game is to play them off against one another in order to frustrate the Palestinian national struggle.

"Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas", he said in 2019.

“This is part of our strategy—to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”

‼️🇺🇦Archer is the most automated self-propelled howitzer there is. We’re honored to film one of the eight Archer systems delivered to Ukraine by Sweden, and they have finally arrived for their first real battle test in the harsh conditions of Eastern Ukraine. We ask what the crew has to say about it. (VIDEO) #Ukraine #Sweden #Press #News #russia #russiaUkraineWar #9yrInvasionofUkraine #BoycottMusk #AxisOfEvil

@rgulick The choice is clear. Democrats put the money in. Republicans take the money out. The last four Democratic Presidents have created 65 million jobs combined since 1977. Donald Trump lost 3 million jobs. Democrats believe in civil rights. Republicans want to go back to Jim Crow. Democrats believe in protecting allies like #Ukraine. Republicans oppose. Democrats believe in science. Republicans don't.

@Jaden3 The way I see it, you have to stay safe, & as a young Black guy, you wouldn't be safe taking some asshle racist's bait. But that's where allies come in. I don't let that sht go anymore. As a white gramma, I'm much safer calling out another white person for their bs. So I fcking do. I won't sit by quietly anymore. @DoubleTreble @Christo

Nikki Haley's family could only immigrate because Black civil rights leaders reformed America's racist immigration laws in 1965 to allow Asians to immigrate. Her father then taught at an HBCU.

For her to ignore slavery as the root of the civil war & now claim America was never at all racist is a level of anti-Black racism we typically only see from actual Nazis & KKK members. Truly horrifying.

If you are coming on to this thread to reply because you are triggered by something. I suggest you re-read and think. And if you are still triggered, possibly re-evaluate your anti-humanist ideology.

German law is making security research a risky business.

Current news: A court found a developer guilty of “hacking.” His crime: he was tasked with looking into a software that produced way too many log messages. And he discovered that this software was making a MySQL connection to the vendor’s database server.

When he checked that MySQL connection, he realized that the database contained data belonging to not merely his client but all of the vendor’s customers. So he immediately informed the vendor – and while they fixed this vulnerability they also pressed charges.

There was apparently considerable discussion as to whether hardcoding database credentials in the application (visible as plain text, not even decompiling required) is sufficient protection to justify hacking charges. But the court ruling says: yes, there was a password, so there is a protection mechanism which was circumvented, and that’s hacking.

I very much hope that there will be a next instance ruling overturning this decision again. But it’s exactly as people feared: no matter how flawed the supposed “protection,” its mere existence turns security research into criminal hacking under the German law. This has a chilling effect on legitimate research, allowing companies to get away with inadequate security and in the end endangering users.

Can we please talk more about the #Republican US House member from #Florida who is sitting in a seat gerrymandered away from Democrats in 2020 in a map so illegal Republicans tried to stop #DeSantis from using it who claimed to be Jewish but in fact has a grandfather who fought for the Nazis wants forced separation at the border because the children there are traveling with their "quote unquote parents"?

Please? #USpol #politics #immigration
