Attached: 1 image I just got the news that Andre Braugher died on Monday. I loved him in Brooklyn Nine-Nine so much that the series became one of my comfort shows. I have no idea how many times I saw the series, but Captain Holt was always one of my favorite characters. He will be genuinely missed. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/andre-braugher-dead-brooklyn-nine-nine-1235835771/

Executive dysfunction really sucks ass on some days. I simply can’t get shit that will take 5 seconds done. I know how to do it. I know what needs to be done. I know it’ll not take a lot of time. I just can’t get it done. @actuallyautistic@a.gup.pe

in a cost of living crisis - where all the food we buy has at least doubled in price over the last year - to force people into trading their privacy for food, to then turn around and do this, is next level evil shit: https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/dec/13/sainsburys-boss-sell-customers-nectar-card-data-tesco

I really dislike the common line of reasoning that "being gay/trans isn't wrong because they were born this way/it's not a choice". That's not why it isn't wrong. It isn't wrong because it doesn't cause any harm to anyone. If being gay was a choice it'd be just as okay morally! This is important because sexual attraction and gender identity can naturally change over the course of one's life. Under the framework of "it's only ok if they're born like this" that can be seen as problematic. It forces people to stay quiet about their experiences if their identity changes at all and especially if some external factor is a catalyst for that. And so what if it is? What if some experience "made you bi"? There's still nothing wrong with that!

lot of "technically correct" going on in my API design over here which is of course the best kind of correct

The only legitimate use of privilege is to help bring about the kind of world where you would not have had it to begin with. #privilege

I'm open to being wrong, but for my money, "identify as"/"identifies as" is almost always a useless phrase. "She identifies as a woman" => "She is a woman." "They identify as Catholic." => "They are Catholic." And so forth. The only utility I can see is to distance the act of identification from actual belonging (as in the classic journalistic twist, "Name Lastname, who identifies as non-binary, [proceeds to misgender them]"), or to discuss the fallibility of survey results ("well, 50% of the cohort identified as sanitation workers, but it's possibly because you said 'garbage people' instead"). In my opinion, it's just not a phrase you should use, unless you can articulate why a simple "is" or "are" doesn't work.

For a long time I had trouble with the concept of unionizing programmers, because it felt like we're already so privileged compared to blue-collar workers. What I realize now is that all that privilege vanishes like a mirage the moment people start talking about unionization. Or the moment interest rates go up.

You know what they say: Mostly words, usually in sentences

I think about this quote from @andy@bell.bz a lot: ‘P.S if you think “no one will want to read my posts”, you’re wrong, because I do.’ It’s just a sweet sentiment. It’s important to remember—someone will read your website. A tweet is dead on the vine. No one is gonna read your old Facebook note from years ago. But your website is timeless and someone will eventually read it. Making your own website is rewarding in a way that a corporate social media profile never will be. https://andy-bell.co.uk/just-post/
