@Jason Apple, a company with a looong dev-hostile track record is going to do better because… (checks notes) because meta didn’t court devs properly.

“We will end the woke indoctrination…”

Well one thing about the Republicans, they never deny that this is still all about the freeing of the negroes

How did I know that all the responses would be talking about how salary transparency, would have no effect? Mostly being assholes about it.

❝The price we pay as the EU, as #NATO, is the price we can measure in currency, in money. The price they pay is measured in lives lost every day. So, we should stop complaining and step up and provide support, full stop.❞

What’s it called when a bunch of attorneys and judges coordinate in secret to overturn the rule of law?

[Carlos Ballesteros @ballesteros_312]

INBOX: Judges across Illinois granted last-minute restraining orders to sheriffs and prosecutors who don’t want to abolish cash bail on Sunday, according to IL Attorney General @KwameRaoul’s office.

“To say that this is an abuse of the judicial process is an understatement.”

FYI it's $2.99 for my novel Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits, for the next couple of days or so (in ebook form): https://t.co/e92V7cjHZw

Please talk to your children and your younger siblings and cousins about what they’re watching on Twitch and YouTube. These influencers aren’t all fun and games. Andrew Tate was allegedly trafficking and imprisoning women and forcing them into digital sex work while INFLUENCING

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

It's absurd. The Russian position is to invade Ukraine and kill Ukrainians. The Ukrainian position is not to be invaded and not to be murdered by Russia. Russia can create peace in an instant; Ukraine must fight for it. https://t.co/4t1r8aYBzW

FYI there’s a video going around from a prominent Twitter account (libsoftiktok) claiming to show footage from a looted Walmart in Buffalo, NY.

The footage is from Philadelphia in 2020.

This is purposely misleading info to push racist falsehoods & agendas.

[phughes @phughes]

This confirms my biases, I accept it without question.

My son, who is a software engineer, just told me that people who know software just had their Elon Musk realization.

I have occasionally been asked what the “trick”to driving in snow/ice is, having grown up doing it regularly & now living in W WA.

The trick *here*? Don’t. You cannot outsmart ice, your car is a 2 ton death machine.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

This is a lie to hype the stock.

The quote was “I’m not selling any $tsla shares under any circumstances next year and probably the following year too. Probably won’t sell any more stock until 2025.”

None of this is binding, legally. Musk can do as he wishes.

When we talk about defunding the police and refunding Roc, we mean reallocating parts of the RPD budget so a 120 year old water pipe doesn’t put half the city on a boil water advisory right before a massive blizzard + Christmas

[Eliza Orlins @elizaorlins]

This is HORRIBLE news.

Governor Hochul has nominated Hector LaSalle, potentially the worst of the 7 nominees to be the next Chief Justice.

NEW YORKERS: Please reach out to your State Senators to say the Senate must reject this nomination.

[Brianna Wu @BriannaWu]

There’s no word for this reporting wording but sexism. She’s not “SBF’s girlfriend,” she ran Alameda Research! Do you understand Alameda was 1/2 the scam?

Christ, women can’t even help steal billions and get credit for the accomplishment properly.
