I'm gonna keep posting this until one of you fucking boosts it

"Putin bears responsibility for the suffering of millions of people, from Ukraine to Syria to Georgia. But the first victims of Putin’s abuses have been Russian citizens themselves." thebulwark.com/my-friend-the-t

"Sadly, there is nothing broken about what we’re experiencing: The system is working exactly as intended. We are all now living, and dying, with the consequences." @ryandbusse on the long slide toward irresponsibility in the gun industry: thebulwark.com/even-the-gun-in

Cool! @Flipboard is now curating news on the Fediverse with four topical “desks”. They are:

1. @NewsDesk
2. @TechDesk
3. @CultureDesk
4. @ScienceDesk

What’s sold me on this concept is that this news is curated by humans—not bots!

Yay for hand-picked news!

It’s funny when you see people who have tons of followers on social media complain about the bozos who show up in their replies. Some days, their timeline is nothing but call-outs.

I hope people realize that popularity invariably brings along exposure to morons and bigots. You don’t have to spend your energy responding to them or describing them to your followers. The most appropriate response is often to ignore them. You don’t have to turn every doofus into an object lesson.

Anyway, I mute people who do this, and check in again in a week to see if they get better.

To those that say only the privileged can afford to leave Twitter, I argue that it is far more privileged to ask your audience to join you on an immensely hostile and hate-filled platform. This is not ok. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/20

I can sympathise. I think we fast readers tend to look for patterns and gloss over obvious mistakes such as a few missing letters.

Keyboard Pr0n: Ars Technica: New buckling spring keyboards re-create IBM’s iconic Model F for modern computers

I used to use keyboards like this as a kid. We used to play Wizardry on it. We didn't have the internet back then and we still broke the secret codes to his lair.

All because I could type really well. Kids: Learn how to type well.

"Either Justice Thomas is remarkably careless when it comes to financial disclosure requirements that apply not just to #SupremeCourt justices but to large swaths of the entire federal government, or it's worse and that he's actually deliberately withholding this information from his disclosure forms because of what it would look like if this came out." -Stephen Vladeck, professor of constitutional law, University of Texas
