@azuresupport#azhelp: ID: 2510250040001693 - why does it let me cancel a subscription (abandoning live resources) without creating a new one or *confirming* I don't need them...holy crap the CX is anxiety inducing.
As a former employee, I want to love it - but not this.
We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.
I miss the Grand Old Party (GOP) and long for the day when we can return to healthy and principled partisan debates. (We idealistic hippies sometimes need to be reined in by practical conservatism.) But this election is different… and much deeper than D versus R and left versus right. It’s a clear choice, and the survival of our democracy is on the line.
The world needs not the chaos of Trump but the stability of Kamala Harris. The world needs America.
All languages covey information at a similar rate when spoken (39bits/s).
Languages that are spoken faster have less information density per syllable!
One of the coolest results in linguistics.
I worked with folks at NAMI MT to pass the John Scott Hannon Veterans Mental Health Care Improvement Act and expand rural vets' access to mental health care, including alternative treatment options. By getting vets more options closer to home, this law is working to save lives.
According to the FEC, this election, at the federal level, has raised 20 billion dollars so far. That's enough to give every homeless person in this country $30,000.
@resistbot Is getting silenced. This is a sign it's working - Twitter/X DM's gone; WhatsApp gone;
We will not be quiet, we will not let Democracy be controlled by social media (or the news) - use your voice!
