When people complain Shopify is too prominent, only main company donor in RC, etc.
WTF folks. As if that was their choice!
Where are the other companies pushing Ruby and Rails with real money and resources to be on par?
Talk is cheap.

Last weekend, the 110 St-Central Park North subway station was officially renamed to 110 St-Malcolm X Plaza!
NYCT President Demetrius Crichlow reflected on this historic moment that honors the legacy of activist Malcolm X and celebrates Harlem's history and community.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have revealed a synthetic glycosystem -a sugar-coated polymer nanoparticle- that can BLOCK SARS-CoV-2 from infecting human cells, REDUCING infection rates by NEARLY 99%. Acting as a decoy, the molecule BINDS to the spike protein, PREVENTING it from attaching to real cells.

really striking to see just how many people lack any sense of dignity
CNN data guru Harry Enten calls the Epstein story a "nothingburger" because Google searches have fallen off in the past week, says Trump's approval rating is "pretty gosh-darn good" right now, and commends Trump for having "some of the best political instincts of any politician I‘ve seen."

Vaccines don't cause autism but if they did a bunch of alive autistic adults is much better than polio and having polio and dying of polio

This Cybertruck did not crash. It made a heartfelt and perhaps ill-advised gesture that, in the moment, might have been misinterpreted as a crash, but we should not rush to judgement.

#depression nearly took me in 2024. I was near the end when I was assigned a Family Dr. I didn't have one for 7 yrs.
After the initial meeting she asked if there was anything else she should know.
"I need help"
Hardest thing I ever said.
I'm looking forward to 2025.
It's hard but ask for help.
