Tylenol and painkillers do not cause autism… don’t believe me, believe the scientists who does proper research on this youtu.be/42gqLIDpYR0?...

"Great," the student said, "another princess coming to learn the sword instead of the needle." "Leave," the swordmaster said to him. "Return when you have learned silence." "I have mastered the needle," the princess said. "I wish to learn the sword as well." "Both?" She nodded. "Both is good."

Lack of sleep didn't stop me from going to #pole class and I ended up flying into the weekend 😁 #PoleFitness #MenWhoPole

Me too :) Come join us

I ran an exploratory ensemble testing session on one of our products yesterday. The ensemble consisted mainly of the developers working on that product. It was amazing and worrying to see how some of them didn't know the most basic functionalities the product offers - stuff our users use daily 😬

CN illness, throwing up My daughter caught the stomach flu. She was feeling okay during the day yesterday but last night she threw up every 30 minutes despite meds. It finally stopped at 4:30 AM. We're both super tired now and I see lots of naps in our near future. #parenting

One of my main issues with AI sales pitches is that it always talks about removing human collaboration. We have such low feelings of connection nowadays this will just make it worse

Being a software tester means knowing that things can be different than they seem. While the Windows file selection dialog may be limited to show files of a certain type - it's still possible to enter the full file name of ANY file and open it by pressing "Enter". Application goes boom 😲😁

CN hospital, sick child I'm glad that we live close to a pediatric emergency clinic and that we're kinda used to going there. Then again I could have done without the visit tonight... When my daughter couldn't sleep due to belly pain we worried about appendix problems, it seems to be a stomach bug

Schrödingers documentation: If there are docs, noone will read them. If there are no docs, everyone will complain.

das wäre echt richtig richtig gut und wichtig. Deswegen ist meine Bitte: teilt den Link, wenn ihr in Hessen seid, wählt ihr das aus und dann das Café Trauma. Ihr könnt da mehrfach abstimmen und bisher sieht es tatsächlich ganz gut fürs Trauma aus, also teilt und voted!

#Followersupport Also es gibt in Marburg das Café Trauma, ein selbstverwalteter soziokultureller Raum der mir sehr am Herzen liegt und wo ich sehr gerne bin. Leider sieht es finanziell nicht so gut aus. Nun ist das Trauma aber für so einen Gema Preis nominiert, es winken 5000€ für den Laden und

The very moment I plugged my laptop into the docking station in the office the fire alarm started blaring. For a second I wondered what my #BugMagnet caused this time 😅

If I am so lazy, why am I always so exhausted?

This was the final slide from my Reasons To Be Cheerful talk yesterday at #DDDPerth and it seems to have resonated with a lot of people so I’m sharing it here.

Gotta love a birthday party with 13yo boys. While four of them started arm wrestling at our table the fifth one started playing dramatic "fight music" on the piano and was a bit disappointed that the wrestles didn't take longer 😁 It made me happy to see that both activities got celebrated equally

The yearly cycle has repeated and passed: planning the kids birthday party of my son, getting increasingly panicked about it the closer it comes, adrenaline all day on the day, in the evening happyness and relief that everyone liked the party. I known this pattern but I can't get rid of it. (1/2)

Look. I'm not mad you bought a Kimmel picture book. But marginalized creators are getting banned and death threats and harassed all the time. It'd be neat to show them that wallet solidarity.

Ich habe meiner Tochter als Gute-Nacht-Geschichte ein Kapitel aus einem drei !!! Buch vorgelesen. Da wird ganz entspannt und gleichberechtigt zu den dort üblichen hetero Beziehungen eine lesbische Liebesbeziehung erwähnt. Ich feiere diese Normalisierung so sehr.

For the 2nd time I had the thought "It's been a while since I heard from this friend, I wonder how they're doing" and reached out to them -only to learn that this friend is not doing great. It's probably a coincidence or because we're all dealing with a lot but phew... Feels like I should do it more

🆘 Klarnamenpflicht? Auf keinen Fall! Ja, Hass im Netz ist real und unerträglich. Doch eine Klarnamenpflicht wäre der falsche Weg, denn:⬇️

There's a petition in Germany demanding that people must provide their real names when using social media. This is a bad idea no matter how you look at it. Not only have studies shown that this does not reduce online hate, it also makes social media inaccessible for marginalized people. (1/2)

It's easy to scoff at Trump designating as a "terrorist organization" something that's not an *organization* at all. I have different view. When you declare an idea rather than an organization to be terrorism, you can declare *anyone* a terrorist. And that is what he will do. This is horrifying.

"Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do good now! Walk justly now! No one is expected to finish the work, but neither may any desist from it." Kindness matters. And it's kindness that's at the deepest root of what makes humans human. That's why I believe tomorrow will be better.

This should be mandatory watch by everybody who has a phone and or email. @racheltobac.bsky.social shows how vulnerable we all are to getting hacked through social engineering and with gAI tools it's only gotten easier.

I had an appointment with my doctor today. Turns out that two of my vaccinations (FSME and tetanus) needed to be refreshed since a while. I'm all refreshed now 💪 Have you checked your vaccination status lately?

I do not know another way to express to people that trying to appease fascists by “being a good minority” or totally deferring to them publicly has saved absolutely no marginalized group or profession in human history. They are coming after us anyway. Even if you scold peers for not being nice.

The government won't tell you that they are fascists, but they will tell you that anti-fascists are their enemies.

Spezifische Frage an Leute, die schon eine Mastektomie hatten: Wie einfach ist es in den ersten paar Tagen ein Buch oder eine Nintendo Switch normal zu halten, ohne die Sachen irgendwo abzustützen? Thank you! (Gerne Reposten)

Hackers is queer culture as much as it is a statement of rebellion, of technological shift into an always-online society, of the utter bullshit nature of corporate & criminal enforcement The clothes, the language, the escapism and fight for identity are intrinsic parts of what make us queer 🏳️‍🌈🤘

Great article! "Trans people exist in a world where [..] the very language that we can use to describe our lived experience, has been annihilated in a grim and calculated way." That's why many people figure out that they're trans very late - and why I try to teach kids about gender diversity.

Why do we expect trans folks to know that they were trans at the youngest possible ages--4 or 5 or even younger--when we know so many of us take so much longer to figure it out? It's time to talk about The Story, as Stained Glass Woman returns with a mega-sized, 5,000-word article!

CN nudity, drugs Saturday night I watched an "old school stripper style pole show" with friends. I knew that the show would be extraordinary but I was not ready. The first act made sure we saw her nipple piercings. The second one lit up and smoked a joint while spinning upside down on a pole. (1/5)

Kindness is punk as fuck.

Me when the dress code says "Men, put some effort in. A suit is appropriate, overdressed is impossible" I had an amazing night with a group of wonderful people, watching an empowering stripper style pole show. I was definitely not overdressed.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

Getting to discuss outift options for either one of us with the femme people in my life gives me massive euphoria. I'm so grateful for getting to do this 🥰

Spinning into the weekend (and probably getting #pole content flagged as "sexual" again) #PoleFitness #MenWhoPole

History students are often disappointed when they learn why the AI take-over failed. They were defeated by human resistance, which was kept alive by libraries and old paper books, and a surprising machine ally. Books had not been replaced, because even the mightiest AI could not make printers work.

This Mattie Lubchansky comic seems topical again.

More depressing Tech in Society news today: people falling in love with their chatbots & similar travesties. I can’t help feeling that we in tech need to own this. A couple of slides from my keynote at HUSTEF 2022.

My daughter is at a "circus camp" in the aerial studio where we both train. It includes lunch for the kids. Yesterday morning the owner of the studio called me to ask if I could lend her a pot - she needed to cook pasta but forgot the pot at home 😅 Of course I did and I love everything about it.

⚠️ The registration for the Open Security Conference 2025 closes tonight! ⚠️ We'll offer a waiting list for anyone missing this due date - yet maybe just register beforehand? 😉 opensecurityconference.org/conference/r... #osco #osco25 #CyberSecurity #Security #InfoSec #AppSec #ProductSecurity [lisi]

CN death, us politics I worry about all my friends in the US. If there's anything I can do to help you be safe please let me know 💜
