no child should fear being shot at school

That means you support a robust system of social safety nets to treat the root causes of violence: poverty, homelessness, unemployment, and mental health, right?

That’s not coded language for, “We’re going to pass a feel-good ban that’s logistically unenforceable and only applies to citizens, not our over-militarized police force, further entrenching the police state, and declare the problem solved, regardless of whether it actually stops the violence,” right?

Right?

Was talking with my sister tonight and explaining why I left Big Tech to build again. I've had roles people would kill for, but I've always had to squish myself into someone else's shape to fit into them. Meanwhile, with Mima, I'm able to just go raise a nerd army and ship the right thing. Natural.

Goodnight Fedi. You are - whether you like it or not - a collection of the most disparate and interesting sentient arrangement of atoms in this stupid thing we call life. For what it's worth I happen to think you're the most pleasing collection of nonsense to my fractured mind. So.... that's maybe something? I'm trying to say I love you and think you're terrific. Big love and power to you. You're gorgeous. Goodnight fam. Xx

@scottjenson this feels like one of those situations where a backend requirement develops separately from the frontend design. You end up having users get to the final step that actually submits the request to the backend, and the backend returns an error that wasn't checked by the frontend.

Dearest Martha. Day three of my home HVAC repairs has come to a close. Day four looms ahead. If I shall survive this trial and live to see you again, I know not

NO ONE, ESPECIALLY VETERANS, SHOULD BE HOMELESS

Would be better without the ‘especially veterans’ part. WTF makes veterans so special? Why is a homeless veteran more concerning than any other homeless person?

I am a veteran, by the way. But fuck this shit.

Here's what I think is absolutely possible:

- We won't need oil in 20 years
- We can have solar, batteries, wind energy in decentralised ways and will never need fusion reactors
- Trains are better to move us around, individual traffic solutions only for the last 10 miles
- We are continuously progressing on the quality of life and it will only get better
- We can tax the rich.
- We can move towards a cooperative and social capitalism that helps the many

It's not revolution, it's evolution :)
