here’s what They won’t tell you: get a leather holster for a Desert Eagle but keep half an Italian combo in there. You find yourself wanting half an Italian combo way more often than you want a gun. And many times that you think you want a gun, you really need half an Italian combo.

Every Harry Potter book or shirt you buy directly funds the persecution of trans people. There's absolutely no excuse to support anything Harry Potter anymore unless you hate trans people.

This is delusional and reckless. There’s no way to design, test, construct, and deploy a comprehensive system to reliably stop any missiles launched from land, sea, or space, and do it in “two-and-a-half to three years” for $175 billion. But some of our adversaries may believe Trump—and respond.

The true story behind Sherita, a brutal tale of old Brooklyn and a predatory real estate spree. Debbie Nathan and I dug deep to expose the brothers behind it, who hid behind phony last names.

Transphobic LGB folks need to understand that the predatory bathroom myth used to be weaponized against gay and lesbian folks, too, and in my lifetime there were serious policy discussions about whether gay people should be allowed in public restrooms, especially in schools. NONE OF THIS IS NEW.

Once again, City of Hamilton's finance department lost $274,000 after changing vendor bank account information -- without doing basic diligence to verify emails before making the changes. (Yes, plural. In this incident, the banking was changed twice at the request of fraudsters) #yhmcc #Hamont

Finally finished @madelineashby.bsky.social’s Glass Houses, really enjoyed it! I had to walk away a few times because the tech stuff was so on point that I was cringing out of my skin. (And then to see friends in the acknowledgements is always a bonus :-) )

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: one of the most exhausting aspects of being trans is constantly being called a secret child molester by a bunch of (not even all that) secret child molesters.

Anyway with these AI coding experiments I’ve been doing, it’s good to know my skepticism isn’t simply just being old and cranky for the sake of being old and cranky: my instincts (that they’re being oversold by people who have incentives to do so) is still correct
