This is honestly not an unreasonable standard

Visit to a Small Planet was released 64 years ago today.

"Jerry Lewis is Kreton, a childish alien who, against his teacher's will leaves his planet to visit the Earth and lands in the backyard of a famous television journalist who doesn't believe in U.F.O's and aliens."

From XKCD

It’s another blow to the #Met police and #Tory party that their attempts to criminalise Greta #Thunberg and other climate protestors has failed because of the sloppiness of police communications.

But what’s also striking is the judge drew attention to the fact this was peaceful, non-violent protest that impeded no one…so why the rush to prosecute?

What's your position regarding consciousness? Broad physicalism (we'll have a scientific explanation one day) or broad anti-physicalism (science can't give a complete account)? Or something else?

Please repost after voting, I'm genuinely curious! 🤔

“Keep this thought handy when you feel a fit of rage coming on—it isn’t manly to be enraged. Rather, gentleness and civility are more human, and therefore manlier. A real man doesn’t give way to anger and discontent, and such a person has strength, courage, and endurance—unlike the angry and complaining. The nearer a man comes to a calm mind, the closer he is to strength.” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 11.18.5b

Congratulations to the IRS, USDS, and 18F teams that worked on this for so long! A quiet launch day is always the dream, and they did it. https://directfile.irs.gov/

The memory of the tech industry for how people abuse their power is so short lived.

Watch who you follow. The #privacy and #SocialEngineering crowd is small.

So is #infosec overall.

When someone causes harm, there is collateral damage.

Watching some of them claim to be about privacy and protecting users when they've done active and public harm is nauseating.

Be mindful. Ask questions. Pay attention to patterns.

And support the communities and collectives you trust. Verify.

Allow me to point out something that is painfully obvious to anyone with a middle school education: If powerful women like Taylor Swift trigger you, you definitely couldn’t handle a civil war.

Can’t stop progress.

what I love is that this government will condemn Palestinians to death because of maybe 10 employees but is unwilling to discuss police reform because *checks notes* it's just a few bad apples.

Tell you what, being vocal about Health & Safety has been a very useful filter.

It's the same way being vocal about Codes of Conduct was 10 years ago.

Turns out, if somebody has an allergic reaction to proactive measures to keep a community healthy and safe, then they're probably not safe to have around in the first place.
