#milwaukee If you want to go to the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum without getting wet and without wearing jackets, this is how you do it.

Lucas C. WheelerIt's funny when people tell biologists to get a "real job" in the "real world". The living world *is* the real world. The world of economics and finance, real estate speculators and venture capitalists? *That* is the fake world, operating under the delusion that it isn't embedded in and entirely dependent on the the biosphere and all other aspects of the natural world. The problem is our society, which systematically favors profits in the illusory world over the well being of the real one.
🚲“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”
This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

Mark Ruffalo“Many around the world closely followed the plight last week of five wealthy men who went missing aboard a Titanic-bound submersible. Meanwhile, researchers at the United Nations' International Organization for Migration (IOM) updated the number of migrants who have died trying to reach Europe by sea this year: nearly 2,000.”

Qasim Rashid, Esq.USA Politics today:
•Biden gets $42B for broadband—Trump admits to stealing classified docs
•PA Gov Shapiro repairs I-95 in 12 days—FL Gov DeSantis tries to cancel citizenship
•IL Gov Pritzker signs bill to guarantee breaks & a day off—TX Gov Abbot bans water breaks
Dems aren’t perfect, no, but we are working to be more perfect—and that matters.
Chris TrottierCoding is software development. But not all software development is coding.
Everyone who's worked on a software development team knows this.
Before you code, you have to model out what it is that will be coded. You have to define what it is the software will do.
When you arrive at one screen, what happens next? How do you expect humans to behave when they see something in your app? Will they even behave in ways you intend?
And funny enough, it's people who code that often can't answer these questions.
It's not because coders don't know but it's because they've been operating under a certain mental paradigm for so long, it's hard to get them out of it. That's entirely expected because what makes coders good at what they do is that they follow their own logic for how to execute a function.
But where product dev, UI/UX, QA, documentation, and bug testing come into play is in trying to understand additional paradigms. Namely, what happens when someone does something unexpected? How do we account for the unexpected?
That's all software development. Every experienced coder I talk to knows this They are more than happy to have that discussion, and are incredibly grateful that another pair of eyeballs considers this for them.
Because trust me, it's never just about coding.

Augie RayWe live in the dumbest timeline.
The people who won't get a vaccine because they think it contains digital trackers are cheering Elon Musk's brain implant.
The people who think we need government out of people's lives want government telling us what to read.
The folks who think every life is sacred before birth refuse to do anything about an epidemic of school shootings.
People who hate anything anti-American want pardons for the Jan6 insurrectionists who attacked the US Capitol.

🏳️🌈🖖🏽If you ever think your vote doesn’t matter, take a look at what happened in MN. 321 votes was the difference between nothing moving forward and a progressive triumph this session.
