Older than the internet. A nerd before it was cool. I've spent 30+ years programming in languages from C to Javascript. Now chasing an MS in Data Science, primarily to learn Python. And maybe somehow leave things better than I found them.

This is absolutely the case. Also, he will take credit for many of the actually impressive economic realities that Biden made happen. All of that infrastructure investment, many of which is just now starting to flow, which the GOP sought to block? Trump will take credit. Don't let him.

This is how Trump is going to conquer inflation (to the extent it hasn’t already been): By announcing he did it. Same with jobs, the climate, foreign affairs. He’ll just say whatever he wants to be true. I plead with you all: protect journalism and journalists. They’re the last defense.

“The new ‘inverse vaccine’ removes the immune system’s memory of one molecule. While such immune memory erasure would be unwanted for infectious diseases, it can stop autoimmune reactions like those seen in multiple sclerosis, type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn’s disease, in which the immune system attacks a person’s healthy tissues.”

New Vaccine Can Completely Reverse Autoimmune Diseases Like Multiple Sclerosis, Type 1 Diabetes, and Crohn’s Disease

Researchers from Pritzker Molecular Engineering, under the guidance of Prof. Jeffrey Hubbell, demonstrated that their compound can eliminate the autoimmune response linked to multiple sclerosis.

Vol. 2 No. 69: Musk Shut Down Ukraine’s Attack on the Russian Navy

It’s as brazen as it sounds and what many have feared. Last September, after talking to an unnamed Russian government official Elon Musk either turned off or refused access to his Starlink satellite…

Please
please please
please please please
People of the Fediverse,
use the Content Warning feature when talking about a show you’re watching and revealing some spoilers, even mild ones.

Especially if you’re
showing screenshots of an end scene❗️

I don’t want to Mute you just for this.

Content Warning is a
fantastic feature to discuss shows, movies, books, and games.
Please use it! 🫣

Here’s how: https://infosec.exchange/@Em0nM4stodon/109282181601490676

Tiny Mastodon Newbie Tip 🐘: Content Warning (CW) is used quite liberally here. It’s an amazing Mastodon feature! Use it as often as it might be helpful. You can use Content Warning to hide a toot (post) your are writing that: - discusses or displays topics that might disturb other users (ex: violence, nudity, mental health, food, etc) ⚠️​ - discusses or displays topics that you think could be annoying or irrelevant to other users (ex: twitter, local politics, very long post, whom-who-shall-not-be-named, etc) 🔕​ - discusses spoilers of a tv show, movie, video game, or book 🤯​ - hides a joke you want to create a special surprise for! :awesome:​ HOW TO❓​ 1. On desktop, below the toot writing field, click on “CW” in the menu. The button’s icon and label may vary for mobile apps, but it should be there! 2. This will add an extra title field above with “Write your warning here” (or similar label). 3. Write the warning (what people will see) for your toot (ex: “Spoiler Star Trek Discovery Season 10!” or “Discussion of violence:” etc). 4. Write your toot normally in the field “What’s on your mind?” (or similar label) and Publish! 5. People will have to click on “Show More” to see the content of your toot. 6. Magic!✨ #TinyMastodonTip #Mastodon

A teacher in Georgia, U.S.A was just fired for reading the book, My Shadow Is Purple (video of the book being read), to her 5th grade class. It uses colors to convey the fact that people are not all the same and that life is better for everyone when we all get to be who we are.
