lmao this made me cry real tears because it is legitimately what every day feels like right now my work is like “hey can you make a slideshow to explain this bill?” and “oops looks like the EPA no longer exists”

Watched this. It was quick, easy to understand, nonpartisan, and a good refresher. Great to share. Nice work @politicojoe.bsky.social !

Been wearing #StayAnotherDay gear in public lately. Everything’s been nice. People ask. I’m not letting someone else’s friend take their own life if I can help it. #suicidePrevention

Been doing my best to learn more everyday. Feel like I get beat down by people who are stuck in their ways. I’m pretty tired.

Facebook called #linux a security problem. Naw dog. That's just silly. I hope more folks try linux/OSS and start to see the benefits. No more big brother spyware from these mega companies on my personal machines

I'm tired of the "Manosphere" folks abusing the term #Stoicisim and what it means. It _doesn't_ mean to just push down feels and such. Stoicism is much more. Acknowledge your feelings and deal with them. Push for truth and learning. Do good. Real #stoics are not pleased right now.

Another hot take - things are cool. I get it. Environmentalism, Consumerism, *-ism is bad and we shouldn't want things. But also - some things _are_ cool. Let's stop vilifying this and acknowledge that it will sting sometimes. I truly love my car but I get public transit is better.

Hot take but I think the divide on both sides is starting to show the teeth causing the problem. #politics #weWalkOn

Journal everyday about what you learned. Even just a simple sentence. It makes the day seem worth it. Yesterday my entry was a personal belief I hold. Day before was about an AWS feature. Both matter.

If you find that your uninformed personal opinion disagrees with expert consensus on a technical topic, please consider that “all the experts know something I don’t” is a much more likely explanation than “I alone solved a complex problem that all the world’s experts have long been studying.”
