"I've always felt like I don't fit," the young woman said.
"Fit where?" the witch said.
"In..." The young person gestured at their whole body. "Can you ..?"

After the Supreme Court issued its Dobbs decision overruling Roe v Wade last year, each state was left to make and enforce its own abortion laws. Many red states had already put abortion “trigger” laws in place that would leap into effect the moment Roe was overturned, while many blue states rushed to pass additional protections to guarantee the right to abortion access.

Then there was Wisconsin, where a law essentially banning all elective abortion procedures has Democrats in the state fired up and ready to fight back. They get a big chance to do so next Tuesday. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p

WHOA whoa whoa whoa hold on there bucko, you've changed it from illegal in Florida to illegal in Tennessee

If you tell me to fear your god, you worship a monster.

@trinsec If you were a genius I don't think you'd want to be crazy.

If you were considering, as you should, buying a paperback version of Cory Doctorow's and Rebecca Giblin's keep in mind that the font is very small and hard to read, so if your eyesight isn't 20/20 you may want to get an e-book instead.

A difficult to predict issue that matches specified business rules and results in failure - is that a bug or a feature?

@pluralistic @harwell That is true, you seem to be an absolute beast when it comes to productivity, kudos.

@borisschapira @hazardius Salesforce is earning 2x profits as compared to 2020. It's all about share price and dividends. They really don't give a fck.

@ramsey Large corps pay better but care less, I think.

The trolley problem: your imagination versus the even sadder reality. (Just got this from a friend who also collects trolley problem variants.)

@lcamtuf I would possibly pay a one time fee for verification and maybe $1/mo for no ads, but presumably this is aimed at people who get impersonated, so influencers, YouTubers and such..

From: @pluralistic:

"To understand the future of Mastodon, we have to understand network effects...a product or service that gets more valuable as it attracts new users.

The people who stay...make it a busier, more exciting place...the next surge will find an even higher equilibrium as users who try Mastodon find more fully acclimated users who can hold their hands as they get settled in, and also provide the vibrant community that presents a good reason for doing so."
