An open letter already signed by a coalition of more than 180 New York Times contributors is calling out the newspaper’s repeatedly, biased and harmful coverage of trans, non-binary, and gender nonconforming people.

GLAAD is also doing this ⬇️ outside the NYT offices today:

quick thread, retweets of which would be most welcome. just got off the line with a recent CS/math grad and Ukrainian woman who just got laid off seven months after starting her career in tech. she's on her own here and supporting her family there.

It’s insane that the government is literally shooting spy balloons out of the sky & yet we still don’t have the technology to unsend a text

Activision plans to end remote work and require people to be in the office 3 days a week. This is another stealth layoff as there's really no reason to be in the office every week to code or discuss video games with coworkers versus being on Zoom.

I sat down to #meditate this morning & evidently #Bo wanted to join me. He sat THIS CLOSE, licking my face. So actually it was laughter meditation at our house. #dogs #dogsOfBayArea #DogsOfFediverse #Doodles #DogsOfMastodon

Elon Musk says Twitter will have a new CEO by 2023.

I have my doubts.

In “social media world”, that’s a long time.

But even if he does find a CEO, that new boss will probably just be a rubber-stamping yes man who obeys Elon’s every whim.

Also, his comment about needing to “stabilize the organization” is so funny!

New studio painting based on a plein air study I did last year. The view evoked the woodcut 'Sudden Shower over Shin-Ōhashi Bridge' by Utagawa Hiroshige, prompting me to do this reimagined painting. Oil on on oil primed linen, 70 x 60 cm.

A little something.

Does anybody remember these "magic pencils" that can draw in 3 colors? They were this super exciting novelty when I was in elementary school. Turns out I still have one of those.

Obviously this drawing has some touchups in dark blue pencil as well because it's really hard to bring out the dark blue exactly when you want it, but it's still mostly done using the magic pencil.

holy shit, Elmo Mush is even more needy and broken inside than we thought

Jeff Tiedrich accuses Elmo of pouring gasoline on a pile of 44 billion dollars and setting it on fire.

@CrimethInc Nicely done. My wife knew her peripherally going back decades. What a loss.
