Yemeni women activists escape war with the help of a global, underground network

Targeted with arbitrary arrests and detentions in Yemen, women activists escape through Peace Track Initiative, a coordinated network of support that takes referrals on a case-by-case basis depending on the gravity of the threat. 

Look GitLab, when I say "remember me", I don't mean "log me out after two weeks", I mean this is my fucking computer just let me stay logged in for god's sake

I gave myself years to really get the hang of this garbage and now I'm sure it's really garbage:

Systemd sucks. I am unclear what problem they were solving. Sure, the init system was archaic, but the need to replace it was not so pressing that we needed to turn to just any port in a storm!

I like unit files, but I'm sure a similar functionality could come from something less invasive or something better architected.

The ACLU has been doing great work on this front. However you feel about "toughness" on crime, we should all agree on an upper bound to punishments.

I Spent 16 Months in Solitary Confinement and Now I’m Fighting to End It

I was just 17 years old when I was sent to solitary confinement in “Camp J,” one of the most severe lockdown units at one of America’s most brutal prisons, the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola. I languished in solitary for 16 months.Back then I didn’t know that Louisiana was the solitary confinement capital of the world. All I knew was that I’d been convicted of a crime I didn’t commit, and I had to maintain my humanity in one of the most dehumanizing places on earth.

Observed: Captain Marvel was inches away from being awesome, but made a left turn at dull. Why pick such an awesome property and make it suck?

Larson's poor acting was only part of the problem. Danvers' origin story is a confused hodgepodge of modern empowerment tropes instead of a cohesive story line. Were the writers even trying? I look forward to whenever they reboot Marvel with good writers and a decent actor.

Marvel deserves better.
The music was great, though! #captainmarvel #movies
