The Labour party will ask it's MPs to vote with the Conservative Government on their policy to remove Home Office recognition of gender certificates from other countries.

The Labour party has abandoned us in their attempt to court Conservative voters. This is so painful... 😡

Why is there no opposition in this country to anything that the fascists in government do? First they came for us. The question is: who will be next?

So I've been building a 100% analog polyphonic synthesizer with an unique twist. To use only vacuum tube era technology from the 1930s.

Over 300 neon gas diodes create the sound you hear. Pretty awesome for technology from 100 years ago.

Still a work-in-progress, but I wanted to post a video of it with the innards spread out across the workbench. : }

I call it the "Neon String Machine"

When electronics importer Cara Leon goes missing, private investigator Sam Mujrif is hired by her sister to investigate. Cara is 8 times taller than Sam, but evidence soon points to players much smaller than either of them.

As Sam and his cross-scale colleagues pursue the case, it becomes apparent that Cara’s disappearance is linked to technology with the potential to reshape their whole society, and radically alter the balance of power between the scales.

Moving out of Ohio to keep my #TransKid safe and my current employer won't let me take my hybrid job full remote, despite the reason.

Anyone got any full remote #CyberSecurity jobs open? I'm a blue teamer with experience in incident response, endpoint protection, email security, and SIEM engineering. Can probably settle in to #ThreatHunting or #ThreatIntel pretty quickly too!

[Edit 2/19/23: I got a job! Fully remote, and they know I'm moving to a different time zone. Better title and a significant raise! Thanks to the DOZENS of people who responded with tips and leads.]

[Edit 7/10/23: We've relocated to Oregon and are getting settled into a lovely Portland suburb with more pride flags than cars. Cheers to a new life!]

Gotta say, I'm kinda shocked by the number of responses to my "so I was laid off too" post on LinkedIn. 1000+ reactions and 22 comments in 5 hours.

I'm not really a fan of LinkedIn as a general social network, but for sharing employment-related things with former co-workers it seems to work pretty well.
