‘We’ve won for women’s sport’: England sing in the rain to celebrate World Cup success

It appears they are protecting Americans from the devious Antifa film majors at Columbia College Chicago.

God damn the Oregon ducks are good this year

E podemos recrutar os "piores" professores? Os "piores" enfermeiros? Isso é um escárnio. "Se você não paga bem os juízes, você não recruta os melhores nomes para a magistratura, você recruta o que sobrou" www.poder360.com.br/poder-justic...

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

Let’s gooooo!

Greenland “has learned through experience that with difficult geography and a small internal market, it simply cannot trust the world market to provide for its needs. If the state won’t do it, then no one will.” A lot of rural and remote areas could learn from Greenland’s example.

"Our aim is to shift away from informal arrangements toward a model of stewardship that truly reflects the collaborative nature of open source." OSS is literally built on informal arrangements 😂 rubycentral.org/news/strengt...

@gergely.pragmaticengineer.com I’m not on Twitter anymore, but this might help you out in your thread with Rafael. Ufuk is an owner of the RubyGems GitHub organisation.

If you're a UK ruby developer, especially if you're working on services under gov.uk, nhs.uk, etc. you have to consider the supply chain to be more vulnerable to attack now - at a minimum you should enable checksums in your Gemfile.lock: bundler.io/blog/2024/12...

This exchange has destroyed any remaining confidence I have in rubygems.org as secure service. Today I'm going to have fork every gem I use, rebuild them and push them to a private gem server. JFC, I am so disappointed.

I remember the good old days when people operated employment blacklists in secret and didn't splash them all over GitHub (FYI, using this in the UK is illegal - maybe elsewhere as well) github.com/jucasoliveir...

If Justin had left the post at the stuff with GitHub links, etc. that would've been fine but including the unsubstantiated stuff is gross.

Those who are the loudest at shouting down Andre but are radio silent on DHH need to do some solid soul searching on how much they actually care about ethics and leadership. You don't get it both ways.

Even IF every accusation was 100% accurate around Andre it would still not convince me that Ruby Central has acted in good faith here, and that's a heavy if. By your own words if you care so much fork it and move on, but that's not what happened was it?

So let me get this straight: we're now at the rumor mongering stage of "it's about ethics in open source!" coming from community leaders who should feel at least some tinge of hypocrisy considering who's ethics they're suspiciously always silent on. I'm disappointed in you all.

There was just a mass shooting and arson at the church I grew up attending in Grand Blanc, MI.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Well don't I feel stupid

If the Ruby community doesn’t force Ruby Central to fix this, the community of thousands of open source gem maintainers should strike in solidarity. No more `gem push`

📣 PSA I've been wanting to say for a while. Not everyone is an expert programmer or coder, and that's okay. People can still do good, reproducible research without using the fanciest methods or the coolest tools. Low tech tools ≠ You can't do good work

Look I'm not the man to do this but if somebody isn't making a supercut of Rapturetok influencers realizing they have to remain on this dogshit planet right now then I don't even know why I have a computer anymore.

Q: Do you support defund the police A: No Q: Do you support defunding the police A: Yes

Once again, US social media platforms do not care about the negative social consequences that arise from their decisions about what information is allowed on their platforms and how it spreads. The sooner we rein them in, the better for society.

Meiselas: Trump spent the weekend trolling Zelenskyy, basically saying give up your land. Zelenskyy, however, came in with all of Europe — the coalition of the willing — to push back against Donald Trump and to lay down not just Ukraine’s position, but all of Europe’s position.

This is full-on authoritarianism. Free Nicole Collier. #txlege

From Nazi Germany to Trump’s America: why fascist strongmen rely on women at home

On his first day back in office, President Trump signed an executive order ending birthright citizenship, directly violating the oath he made to uphold and defend the Constitution. We took him to court and got the policy blocked, and our work continues to stop the order for good.

dang, they lost the hulk, aunt may, and mr fantastic

underneath all the doom and hideous stuff happening at the top of our country is a more inspiring story: regular Americans are not buying all this crap. and they're still willing to call the government out on it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

OpenAI’s video generation tool, Sora, can create high-definition clips of just about anything you could ask for, but whose data OpenAI used to create its groundbreaking system is a mystery.

they should invent a potato peeler you can find

Dang, that's crazy. Anyway, we moved our annual refugee resettlement fundraiser to Bluesky this spring, after running it entirely on Twitter for over a decade, started with ZERO followers, took our "shrunken" audiences and beat last year's total by $200,000 in a time of massive economic upheaval

Seven years of inaction is long enough. Mayor Frey promised to end homelessness by 2022. It's 2025, and there are still not enough shelter beds or resources for our unhoused neighbors. All we've seen under him is more displacement, more destruction, and more preventable tragedies.

There are a lot of communities that could benefit from the programs Bernie talks about having implemented as Mayor of Burlington in this video.

Media execs have fallen prey to a propaganda and harassment campaign that has completely divorced them from what people actually want right now. Both their insular information environments (group chats, podcasts) and ambient noise (Twitter reactionaries) have put them in a very stupid bubble.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

Juliete impediu o gol de empate do Santos no finalzinho da partida e garantiu a vitória do Corinthians! 😱

currently at record-high search interest for canceling disney plus. pulling kimmel is a bigger deal to the company's bottom line than any of the "woke" scandals of the past 5 years. i think news & entertainment corp execs need put more work into understanding their audience, & get off twitter

"I don't do Ruby but I have all these opinions ..." STOP

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

I wonder if "Accessibility" would be less of an afterthought, and more people would be interested in it, if we renamed it "Best Practices"

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.” - President Theodore Roosevelt, The Kansas City Star, 7 May 1918

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

The summary of the situation is: - the RubyGems and Bundler team had their access revoked, un-revoked, and re-revoked w/o being told why - the Ruby Central board supported this - the Director of Open Source implemented it - it took TEN DAYS to get an explanation - the explanation makes no sense

To me, there is a difference between being nice and being kind. Being nice is avoiding confrontation and keeping the peace. Being kind is grabbing your friend by the shoulders and telling them how they fucked up, and what they need to do to make it right. When being nice fails, be kind.

I hope Ruby Central does better. I hope the new team is supported by Ruby Central, and the community gets the transparency they deserve. I guess I'll close this out by mentioning one of my guiding principles for many years now, because it seems relevant, especially since folks mentioned "MINASWAN".

Today has been... intense. Thank you everyone who's discussed this with me and offered kind words or support. I don't know the intent behind what happened. The people involved aren't villains, and they aren't evil.

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

I don't think you failed, fixing this was not in the cards, so we have to redefine success. I think you did what was right and you tried and that's more than can be expected of you. Thank you again for the inspiration and support around governance. I continue to be in awe of all homebrew achieves.
