It’s easy to feel pointless to fight for gun control. But us Mainers have to try.
Maine gets an “F” rating for gun control regulations according to Giffords Law Center. https://giffords.org/gun-laws/states/maine/
The suspect apparently threatened to shoot up a military base earlier this year. But we’re going to learn that he still had his gun legally.
This isn’t a mental health issue. This is a guns issue.
I posted about how the iOS development space is very white, male, and straight. A lot of white, male, straight people seemed to think this was me telling them they’re doing something wrong.
I said that I don’t see a lot of people like me in my field. If your immediate reaction to that is defensive in any way, you’re the problem. You need to examine why that makes you react defensively. That’s my advice on how to improve diversity. Interrogate your own bias.
We’re playing checkers while this guy’s playing chess.

I bet Elon is none too happy about Apple Messages getting rich previews for Mastodon links.
GOOD. 🎻

@gruber I’m curious, has the overall volume of your @ mentions on Twitter fallen vs. pre-Elon?
Using Twitteriffic’s numbers, which I think are probably the real ones.
I think the thing that bothers me the most is the lack of communications. If you are going to kill people off, own it. Don't just do it and act like nothing has happened.
Even during the darkest Twitter 1.0 days they were pretty open about what they were doing. I remember getting a call prior to the 4 quadrants token limit where they explained what was going to happen and answered questions. I wasn't happy but at least felt there was respect.
Before the violent attacks on Brazil's Congress, Elon Musk fired nearly all of Twitter's staff in Brazil, including all the workers in São Paulo who enforced rules around incitement to violence and misinformation. There are no teams actively moderating rule-breaking Twitter content in the entire country
