If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about: Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trump’s meddling, it’s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what we’ve all lost.

The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

therapy should not be a luxury

Every democrat in every office needs to be challenged in their primaries. They need to be held accountable for the ways in which they have been complicit in the situation that we are in now. If they are unchallenged, it's a signal that whatever they are doing is just fine.

Hot off the presses! Firefox Nightly (www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...) adds the new :heading pseudo! Easily style all headings, or use nth-child-like AnB syntax to select a range of headings! Needs `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag enabled. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Huge loss for bigots and massive win for equal access to healthcare! Happy Pride everyone 🌈

I drew GitHub's Mona as a Labubu (forgive me) What should I call it? So far the best I've got is "Lagitgit" which is Labadbad

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

If you, a business, are reliant on an open source project to function it is YOUR responsibility to assess and ensure the health of that project by either contributing to it yourself or by using an alternative if project health cannot be guaranteed.

This car ought to be enough for anybody

Did you know? In the earliest FPSes, back in the 90s, Nazi insignia were *how you knew who to aim at*

✨ I’ve got a couple of extra General Admission tickets to @renderatl.com and I’d love to give them to folks who might not otherwise get a chance to go. If you’re from an underrepresented group in tech and want to be in the room or know someone who should be DM me!

Bring. It. Back.

There are a lot of incredibly talented people on the job market right now. Many of my friends in DevRel, OSPO, program management, and engineering are looking for their next role, some have been searching for months. If you’re hiring, please consider sharing a link to your open roles below. TY ❤️

JUST TO CLARIFY…👇 Gotta love BETTY, because she ‘tells it like it is!’ ❤️✨

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights. Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

we will never let you edit posts. you must wear each typo as an albatross. you will bear the weight of your hubris

"If you can afford to send Katy Perry to space, you can afford to pay more taxes." #3E

It is time for Democrats to go on the attack, and take away tax-exempt status for every church that unabashedly campaigned for Trump. Take off the gloves, start to destroy the opposing institutions that fund the fascist movement.

These are dope earrings and if you're a KubeCon, you should go snag a pair while Ashley still has some left!

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

the hard part of software engineering was never the code

Women Who Code is back?????? 😍 @womenwhocode.bsky.social womenwhocode.com

Remember 8 hours ago when we were all mad that the Switch 2 was $500. Jokes on us. It’s going to be like $800 now. RIP consumer tech.

This is inaccurate. There is no known vulnerability with Signal's core tech. The memo was discussing phishing attempts, which Signal has worked to mitigate. And it was hastily reported. It's important not to spread misinfo that can confuse people into moving away from meaningfully private comms.

Today, we are announcing the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, an industry-wide union formed by @codecwa.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social 💪🎮 We're launching at #GDC2025 this morning to build a video game industry that works for us. We're done playing.

for the whole of this month, I'm offering 50% off my book "building git", which teaches you a huge array of software and system engineering topics while learning how git works. use voucher code "SMARCH" shop.jcoglan.com/building-git/

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

All traffic on @github.com goes through #Rails — Joel Hawksley @ #SFRuby

if you’re in DevRel, posting on a platform owned by someone who is pretty openly right wing to the point of doing a N*zi salute at the Inauguration is actually not something you should be doing anymore continuing to Create Content on Twitter, at some point, is endorsement imo we’re past that point

Guess whatttttt I'm hiring engineers for my team (accessibility engineering) and one of my immediate peers is also hiring for Primer, our design system! We are looking for earlier-in-career folks as Software Engineer IIs, to best complement and round out our teams. githubinc.jibeapply.com/jobs/3987

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control. Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

The rollback of major DEI programs in FAANG companies should be a reminder that your company is not your friend and you need a union to protect your rights.

I just realized I have all tactile and zero clicky keyboards, what's the favored clicky switch of choice these days. Obviously there's the classic cherry mx blue, but if I want more stability with a box switch would a box navy be the way to go?

Right so after several recent incidents at work it seems like it's time to tap the sign again: Never apologize to me when your cat crashes a video call. Your cat is perfect. I understand that the begging for attention is not charming to you but it is to me and I wish to see your cat. Thank you.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had the conversation about how perfect is the enemy of good. Ship it now.

We haven't done this before, but this year we saved some of the hackable badges for the shop! There aren't many available, but if you want to have some fun hacking on cool hardware, here you go!

I've made enough puns in the work Slack to get this honorary title. 😄 Ty @mattr.dev, cc @tenderlove.dev
