No recent awards. Still making damn tasty chicken soup. Working on drawing my new profile pic
Dan GillmorBy banning (or forcing sale of) TikTok (which I loathe), Congress -- Democrats as well as Republicans -- and a Democratic president just performed extreme censorship of the Internet.
They claimed it was for your privacy, but that is a flagrant and stupid lie.
They believe you have no privacy rights, and deserve none, and have made that clear again and again.
We need public spaces controlled by the public, not rapacious companies and control-freak lawmakers.
Teri KanefieldToday is an important anniversary.
73 years ago, on April 23, 1951, in Farmville, VA, Barbara Johns led a walkout of her segregated high school to protest the unfair and deplorable conditions of her school.
What?! You don’t know who Barbara Johns was?
She led her walkout more than 4 years before Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus, and before MLK, Jr. embraced nonviolence as the way to equality.

@LadyDestinee thank you!
Paging Nerdfighteria! I'm having trouble finding John's video where he talks about the emergence of TB in humans in conjunction with some other major historical development, possibly agriculture? Can anyone find this! Thanks in advance! cc: @NerdfighterNichole
Timnit Gebru (she/her).Maybe one day an article like this would be written about a company that collaborates with local artists and writers to produce these books, and a home grown machine translation company, rather than Chat GPT and Google Translate 🤔

Henry is delightful I spoke with him in YouTube livestreams on multiple times. He is mentioned on DHAJ/Vlogbrothers in a story about one of John's visits to Sierra Leone Please consider helping him build wells https://gofund.me/6f2ec41f

My kid's college accused her of being an overachiever, of having a "grindset." They don't know that we are one of the sleepiest, most stay-at-home families in the country.
RhialtoPSA: Time to delete your Glassdoor account
The TL;DR is: Glassdoor now requires your real name and
*will add it to older accounts without your consent if they learn it,*
and your only option is to delete your account. They do not care that this puts people at risk with their employers. They do not care that this seems to run counter to their own data-privacy policies.

It turns out that when you're no longer overwhelmed and exhausted, you have time and energy to regret all of the things you couldn't do when you were overwhelmed and exhausted.
