Congrats to @avilewis on the #NDP win.

Obviously there will be much “B-b-but he’s a *socialist*!” pearl-clutching on all the legacy and new-right channels. Also, screaming from the Prairie fantasists who think they can build a prosperous future on fossil fuels.

There is a huge vacant political space to Carney’s left. There for the NDP to pick up if they can message effectively, as the UK Greens are.

“When Israel commits a genocide in Gaza, we call them out. When the US and Israel start an illegal and reprehensible war against Iran that sets the world on fire, we say Canada should have absolutely no role in it whatsoever."

Congratulations to #AviLewis, newly elected leader of the #NDP! #cdnpoli 🇨🇦

"Nobody in the open source community talks about this because the survivors go quiet & the ones who don't survive aren't around to write essays.

I am tired of the silence around this. Open source culture celebrates intensity … the all-night hack session, the prolific contributor, the person who maintains 50 projects & keynotes 10 conf's a year. What it doesn't celebrate, what it actively looks away from, is what that intensity does to people who are wired differently."

How (racist/sexist/whatever) harassment on Mastodon works:

1. Harasser replies to their target's post, with the reply set to "followers only", saying the most vile stuff you can imagine.

2. All the harasser's followers join in on the harassment, posting more vile stuff.

3. Nobody but the target and the harassment crew can see the vile stuff that was said.

4. Target is traumatized. Nobody else can see why.

5. Everybody says "I don't see it so it's not happening."
