@aaron.rupar Trying to think of a word for this, Paltering seems like s good fit, i.e. telling some truths in order to paint an untrue picture with specious reasoning.
@jacob Congrats, that's amazing!
I just donated US$150 to the Python Software Foundation. If 9999 other people do that, then there's their grant money. https://fosstodon.org/@ThePSF/115446659188615376

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-funding-statement.html 🧵 https://www.python.org/sponsors/application/

@frank Well, congrats friend. I hope the new space treats you all right!
@frank Where did y'all move to? Please tell me you took over 'Lil Red, next to LJW...what a full circle moment that would be.
@jezdez You're absolutely right, veins of fascism run through most cultures, including here in the US. The Nazi rally at Madison Square Garden in 1939 is one stark reminder, but over the last 10 years it's been increasingly and uncomfortably prevalent in our modern culture. It's truly sickening, but I hope our overall decency will stem the rise of this tide.
@jezdez It's such a dark time here in America. I hope our leaders prove to be impotent in meddling in other countries' elections. I love what Germany has become and I'd hate to see the far right gain any sort of foothold in your country.

@jacob I haven't cried laughing in a long time, but that episode had me in stitches.

@ericflo I totally agree. I've never experienced a time in my lifetime where the need for an amendment was more clear and urgent.
