@augstone My ears still hurt from that show

“All these things were really important to me. I’m surprised by how much of my real life went into a book called ‘The Ballad of Buttery Cake Ass.’”

[Radley Balko @radleybalko]

This looks bad. Really, really bad.

@RexChapman Did not apply the brakes. Says so much.

@halfline @hadessuk @ebassi @carnagemode_ @sethnickell And as I recall there was no message tray yet because Marina was being characteristically smart, generous, and patient with me as I struggled to refine the idea. I think of this often.

@ebassi @carnagemode_ Oof the preflorian shell. :)

This is absolutely, 1 million percent, bat-shit fucking insane.

[Alan MacLeod @AlanRMacLeod]

What stage of capitalism is this?

You're going to hear that we can't fault this officer for making a split-second decision under volatile conditions.

Remember: The police created those conditions. They deliberately created chaos and confusion, then killed Amir Locke for being confused.

Volunteer firefighters and EMTs play an enormously important role in rural America. But many departments are struggling right now to retain staff and attract new recruits. We talked to some Vermonters about how we can begin to address the crisis.

The recitation of facts is increasingly viewed as political, and even offensive. That is a grim omen.

Been trying for two years to correct an error in Google Maps where a road is identified in the wrong place. All my edits/contributions are “not applied” because they couldn’t be verified. Apple Maps also in error. OSM is correct. Any ideas? A and G use same data source?

I sometimes try to imagine rms applying for a public facing leadership position and going through an interview process. What would the interviewer’s notes say?

[Jon McCann @jonmccann]

@ebassi But also that same ethic could be applied to tasks and needs for which there are currently no paying jobs available. Ironically these are often the most important and rewarding roles one can play. “Charity” has not served us - inequality, privilege, and subservience to capital.
