My mom was listening to a political podcast in Cantonese and it's hilarious to me that they just refer to MAGA as 愚蠢人 (stupid people)as a matter of course. They don't beat around the bush... they just call it as it is.
oh, so you're productive? how much money did you move from your boss to your landlord today, huh? workaholic

Thank you to those who did outreach, UN Umoja shared services are now patched for CitrixBleed 2.

Next problem - 157.150.185.89,*.un.org and 157.150.185.135,*.dev.un.org are both still vulnerable. Could people with contacts do outreach too?

We have got to discard this strange notion that the moderate position is good, simply because it is moderate, regardless of the values it represents. One side of our political landscape is literally - not figuratively - Nazis. The good and righteous position is to oppose them and thwart their goals by any means at our disposal. There is no value in moderation.

You’ll notice the second level of this message as well, once you have enough understanding of the British language. 😏😇😎
@quux Assuming it's outside a pub it's got 3 levels!
@CryogenicIce9 that’s indeed an assumption. Once upon a time you would probably be right, but when you’ve watched the latest series of Clarkson’s Farm you’d know the a lot of pubs went out of business during the last couple of years…
@quux I see the joke 😄
