the folks:

ignorant, petty, cruel

it's not even some grand political strategy. this is simply who they are and what they do. this is all they know of existence. what calls to them. what fills them with purpose and meaning: weak schoolyard bullying

so fucking pathetic:

"Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in public university employee emails"

did anyone tell these geniuses what "dakota" means?

If you honestly believe that fascism hangs in the balance in the November presidential election, then you should be volunteering to canvas door-to-door, to phone bank, to stuff envelopes; anything to GOTV for Biden. Venting your spleen on social media at those who won’t vote for Biden seems like smug self-indulgence if you aren’t walking the walk.

A fleet of airplanes has been found to have a potential electrical flaw near a fuel tank that aviation regulators fear could cause an explosion.

Boeing 777 liners are at risk of “electrostatic discharge” near its center-wing fuel tank, which could possibly cause it to catch fire and explode, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

drums solos are like sushi and Shakespeare in the park because when they're bad they're revolting, but when they're great they're spiritually transformative

When I talk about digital privacy, there is always some smug genius who shrugs and tells me, "Who cares? We all know we don't have any privacy anyway." Nothing could be more wrong. Convincing you that the fight is already over to the way people in power get you to stop resisting.

Neil Gaiman wrote: "Everything good that happened in my writing career happened because someone, normally another writer, helped me. Suggested me for something, put in a good word, and so on. The idea was always that you help others and they help others in their turn. It's not a win or lose game."

I'm not Gaiman, and probably neither are you (unless you are, in which case hi, Neil.)

But this is true for me and true for most of us.

I'll take "Things I Absolutely Do Not Want My Phone to Do EVER" for $200, Ken.

(And just to be clear, the part I don't want my phone to do is "AI listens to my calls" because PRIVACY IS STILL A THING and I don't need Google or anybody else monitoring every single goddamn phone call I might happen to make. FUCK THAT.)

Do I know any tech writers who would be interested doing some contract work? (The specific project I have in mind is the user guide / reference manual for OmniGraffle 8.)

Feel free to reach out privately, here or via email (kc@omnigroup.com).

    Crossing the Street Shouldn't Be Deadly (but it is)

    Crossing the street should be safe, convenient, and easy, but it isn't. And that's because in the US and Canada, the roads are designed for exactly one purpose: to move lots of cars as quickly as possible.

    Noem constantly whines about "fake news." Unsurprisingly, as soon as she gets caught writing fake news, she refuses to be held accountable. Perhaps she should stick to recounting stories that she has experience with, like slaying animals that displease her.
