@netflix you ruined the video player in your Apple TV app. Please revert to using the system player. (While you’re at it, integrate with the TV app too. You’re the only platform I can’t see in “up next”)

The "anti-woke" forces on a Texas school board have a new target: A poster that implies interracial friendship is possible.

This isn't a one-off. The long term agenda of the "anti-woke" movement shows that the goal is undoing a century of progress.

Souvenir hunters are haunting the Beetlejuice II movie set in Vermont. Police are investigating two thefts, one of a large lamppost topped with a distinctive pumpkin decoration and the other a 150-pound abstract art piece. https://t.co/UcwJEZJCD8

@TweetDeck Oh, and @tweetdeck dropped Teams support? WTH?! How am I supposed to tweet as @gevent and @relstorage now?

[Jason Madden @ossmkitty]

Well @tweetdeck officially sucks now. Not only is the UI worse in every way, but the functionality is broken. No more real-time streaming columns, no more "Activity" column. Real-time tweets about, e.g., weather warnings matter!

Same-sex sociosexual behaviour is widespread and heritable in male rhesus macaques: It is frequent, can evolve, and is not costly, indicating that SSB may be a common feature of primate reproductive ecology

This is a real place.

It's a village in the Netherlands called Bourtange (population: 430) built in and around an 18th century star fort.

How and why does it exist? That's where things get interesting...

From Sotomayor's dissent: "Today, the Court, for the first time in its history, grants
a business open to the public a constitutional right to refuse
to serve members of a protected class."

"Don't ingest the alpha source!" was a running gag among us kids, and became the camp motto printed on our T-shirts. (Ingesting an alpha source is really bad.)

[Jason Madden @ossmkitty]

From a science camp: You have an ɑ, β and ɣ source. You must hold one, put one in your pocket, and eat one. What do you do? A: Hold the ɑ (can't penetrate skin), β in pocket (can't penetrate fabric), and eat the ɣ (if it's that close, you're !#$! anyway)

If you're unable to create a majestic monolith with basic programming tools like encapsulation and namespaces, you don't have what it takes to improve upon the situation with a distributed swarm of microservices. Your spaghetti code will just be on five different plates.
