Dan Moren"Deescalation" is a weasel word when you use the passive voice and one side is exercising their first amendment rights to peaceful protests while the other side is murdering them.

@gruber the pretzel business you described on Dithering is a unique and iconic business, but it’s not a franchise. I think you should go back and listen to Warren Buffett’s full comments and reconsider your definition.
Louie Mantia, Jr.You know, I could write a whole blog post about this—and I might—but I think we need to start addressing the very likely possibility that the *entire thesis* that “UI should get out of the way” and “apps should focus on content” is wrong.
Apps aren’t just for looking at photos or videos. They’re for navigating through these things, organizing them, editing them. The tools to do those things should not get out of the way. They should be clearly defined and separate from the content.

On this May Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.

BroadwaybabytoBishop Budde made waves this week when she spoke directly to Trump during her Inauguration sermon.
She urged him to have mercy on those who fear for their lives under his administration.
She spoke of compassion for the LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities he seems intent on destroying.
He of course lashed out, demanding an apology and calling her names.
Make no mistake, what she did was an act of bravery. For a few minutes she had a considerable platform, and she used it to speak up for those who can’t speak up for themselves.
She stood up to the bully. She showed us all what it means to be an ally.
Did you know she also provided a final resting place for Matthew Shepard, who was murdered in a gay hate crime at the age of 21?
He was interred at the Washington National Cathedral in a service she presided over after having no permanent resting place for years due to concerns his grave would be vandalized.
Look for the helpers. They’re still out there. They may not be as loud as the bullies but they’re quietly working to protect as many people as possible. To share messages of love and inclusion. To build community. To stand up to hate.

James ThomsonNow is a great time to enthusiastically confirm your support for LGBTQ+ rights - particularly those of trans and enby folks at the moment - and the rights of women, BIPOC communities, and anybody else that the new US administration is actively trying to oppress.
I wholeheartedly support the rights of all of these people.
It shouldn't need to be said, but right now it _does_ need to be said. If you are able, consider donating to organisations that are trying to protect them.
Jon SterlingSomeone should make a browser like "The Old Safari", where there is a damn titlebar that shows the whole title of the website. I am so tired of these "compact" layouts that are completely unnecessary on today's high density displays.
