Software engineering pro-tip (originally from Chris Albon sometime in 2017):
Do not, I repeat, do NOT deploy this week. That is how you end up debugging a critical issue from your parents' wifi in your old bedroom while your spouse hates you for abandoning them with your racist uncle.
"History will judge them harshly."
Do you really think that matters to them? They'll be long gone when History--which can't judge anything, it can only be recorded and people learn/remember what took place--"judges" them.
And it'll be too late by then anyway. And they don't care. At all.
Can we maybe choose a different phrase? Like, say, "These vile fascists are total assholes who are destroying democracy and need to be stopped STAT"? How's that?
You're welcome. #ImPissed THREAD🪡 1/…

The charges here are terrifying and, given the kind of toxicity that Rick and Morty spawns, entirely unsurprising

An ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING message from a teacher in Duval County, Florida who is being forced to make her classroom library inaccessible as a result of @[email protected]'s policies
(via @[email protected])
The problem is the increasing radicalization and emboldening of bigots, PLUS easy access to guns.
Both of those problems need to be addressed.
As California grappled with a mass shooting in Monterey Park over the weekend that left 11 people dead, within 48 hours, another gunman went on a shooting spree in Half Moon Bay, just under 400 miles away, killing at least seven people.
Every worker in every industry deserves a union, and tech right now is having a clear demonstration of how our lack of unions hurts us.
I just heard an exec say that it was "unfortunate" that we couldn't fire people faster in other parts of the world because of labor protections. Sit with that for a moment.
In the US unions are one of our very very few tools to give us any chance at all.
We need strong unions to push back against this sort of callous insensitivity backed by unchecked greed.
1. Florida teachers are being told to remove all books from their classroom libraries OR FACE FELONY PROSECUTION
The new policy is based on the premise that teachers are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.

Teachers in Manatee County, Florida, are being told to make their classroom libraries — and any other "unvetted" book — inaccessible to students, or risk felony prosecution. The new policy is part of an effort to comply with new laws and regulations championed by Governor Ron DeSantis (R). It is based on the premise, promoted by right-wing advocacy groups, that teachers and librarians are using books to "groom" students or indoctrinate them with leftist ideologies.
