@DavidCasselTNS Good article from your interview with Linus Torvalds about Git. FYI there’s a mistake in turning what was “SCM” into “[supply chain management]” but it should be “[source control management]” as in en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?ti…

@pdayton @gopTODD @jlms_qkw I want to let you know that I love that you wrote “delicates” here. A delightful Freudian slip!

@gopTODD @jlms_qkw I hear a lot of talk from Republicans, noting that we are are republic, and they believe that representation distilled through delicates is the best way to be a republic, instead of popular elections. I believe we’re a democratic republic that has elections for representation.

Just to be clear, Phil Lyman maintains that the 2800 delegate votes he received in April should outweigh the 230,000 votes that Spencer Cox received in the GOP primary. #utpol

After Hitler invaded the USSR, were the Soviet people wrong to fight to liberate their country? No. Should they instead have tried (& failed) to swap "land for peace"? No. So after being invaded by Russia, why are so many people coaching Ukrainians to give "land for peace" today?

One of the smaller changes from the recent PostgreSQL minor release round:

#DefeatRussia #PutinIsaWarCriminal

It will be eight months of war tomorrow. Eight months of devastating news and incredible pride for our people. Of horrible destruction and unbelievable heroism. A very difficult winter is ahead. We continue to fight. We are grateful to everyone who is with us. Slava Ukraini!

Excellent analysis of speech affectation. NPR and the flap: tonguesandtongues.blogspot.com/2015/04/npr-an…

You can still find transcripts of these conversations in Ibiblio archive, e.g. * USSR collapse -> ibiblio.org/pub/academic/c… * Gulf War -> ibiblio.org/pub/academic/c… * 1992 Election -> ibiblio.org/pub/academic/c… ^all must-reads for history buffs

Yes, a simple notebook or text file is usually enough! sashachapin.substack.com/p/notes-agains…

I think one struggle with social media is that we only see people when they speak…when a lot of the joy of human interaction comes from just being around each other.

Expelling Russia from the UN Security Council: a How-To Guide: cepa.org/article/expell…

I strongly condemn & reject Russia's attempt to illegally annex occupied regions of🇺🇦 following sham votes it staged at gunpoint. Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia & Crimea are Ukraine. #Moldova's support for 🇺🇦’s sovereignty & territorial integrity remains unfaltering.

People wonder why Jews are neurotic. It’s because the chill ones didn’t make it. Every Jew you meet is the descendent of a Jew 200 years ago who was like “yo, the vibes are off. Let’s get on a boat.”

It is hard to imagine what “transit officials” could do to destroy public transit more quickly than to install microphones all over buses and trams and trains that record what everyone says and synchronizes it with video and face recognition. wired.com/2012/12/public…

Emails with URLs mangled to urldefense.proofpoint.com … so much bloat, waste, obfuscation.

Odd how the realists are not arguing Russia has to make painful concessions for the sake of peace. Only works one way for these people. Kremlin stooges, not realists

I’m not crying, ok I am.. #SlavaUkraïni

Hey @amnesty, don’t play the “Both sides” game on #Ukraine. There is no “both sides” in murder, rape, torture. Ukraine defends her people - civilians and soldiers. #Russia’s people in Ukraine are invaders, murderers. Don’t be their amnesty! #StandWithUkraine #StopRussiaNOW
