I think we have given hateful and bigoted instances more than enough opportunities to change their ways and not be sources of abuse and harm.

So now they are going to adapt to us.

And expecting people to have a standard of basic decency and decorum is not too much to ask.

It's the bottom rung of the lowest ladder of human interaction.

I'm not a centrist.

I don't believe there are legitimate 'two sides' to the moderation and safety debate.

There are people who believe in safety, and there are those who will not respect the agency and boundaries of people they dislike and try to harm them because of it.

There is no 'middle ground' when it comes to respecting the autonomy and boundaries of another person. I am not 'negotiating' how much harm is acceptable.

If your version of 'fairness' requires marginalized and targeted communities to be 'reasonable' and 'understanding' of places that cause harm, you're in the wrong place.

McCarthy’s debt ceiling plan would slash school funding, impacting 25M kids in schools with low-income students and 7.5M students with disabilities.

Oh, and it could force a reduction of up to 108,000 teachers, aides, and other key staff.

The GOP's priorities are crystal clear.

In case you haven't heard, Red Hat is laying off people today, and I'm one of them. My 'career' as a Hatter lasted just over 15 months, much less time than I had planned or expected.

Many of you know me well, and know that I have extensive background in open source software, project management, open source business, and lots of related activities. If you're aware of any opportunities which may be of interest, feel free to send them my way via any channel you like.

Boosts much appreciated, of course, and thanks in advance!

Did You Know? Animal FactsApr 16, 2023
Penguins are in fact ticklish, and actually enjoy being tickled! They even have a positive response to it, which is similar to laughing! Other animals that like to be tickled–some of which also laugh or giggle–include primates, some dogs and cats, rats, owls and meerkats! Here’s the link to the video, associated with this image: https://youtu.be/2Fbt1fVfi-g

@steventdennis We left our 100k followers behind on Twitter, made the account private, cleared the profile picture, and started from scratch here. No tweet is so valuable that we would fuel a billionarie's hate game.
