I collected my thoughts on why mutexes suck; and what we can do about it.

Ditch your (mut)ex, you deserve better
Mutexes are unreliable tools, let's explore better alternatives.

a couple of years ago, whenever i'd say that joe biden should be doing this or that, i would get responses from his supporters explaining that the president can't just do whatever he wants. he has to follow all these rules and norms and laws and such, apparently

Wasn't thrilled by the box art for the Sekhetar robots when they were released, but the livery has really grown on me and I think they turned out really well. #miniaturepainting #warhammer40k #paintingwarhammer #minipainting

Zionists are desperate to criminalise anti-Zionist speech because they realise that, after 630 days of live-streamed genocide, everyone can see it is a violent extremist ideology and people are turning against it in a massive way.

Not a big fan of this helbrute model. It just looks so small next to a primaris dreadnought and the pose is too static, but I think I did it justice. The skin came out really nice 😄 #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k #miniaturepainting

Recall the Strategic Response Group (SRG) was originally sold as a specialized “counterterror” squad that could quickly respond to ISIS-style attacks and since its inception in 2015 has only been used to harass Black Lives Matter, anti-genocide protestors and striking workers.

Today the NYPD deployed the Strategic Response Group (SRG) to harass and arrest striking Amazon workers.

As Mayor, I will disband the SRG, which has cost taxpayers millions in lawsuit settlements and brutalized countless New Yorkers exercising their first amendment rights.

Ok so this was a lot more terrain than I was expecting... and I still have a couple of Scarab Occult Terminators and Ahriman to paint. My grey pile of shame is set for at least another 6 months and I'm kinda tempted to paint the owl first 😅 #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #warhammer40k #wh40k

not to turn everything into a giant game of smash or pass but the way tom morello posts is extremely attractive to me
screenshot of a tweet from Tom Morello @tmorello Gracias. Apology accepted. Your cattle rancher fascist death squad Batista apologist family crybaby problems are perhaps a conversation for another time, but nice pivot. he’s quote tweeting: Robby Starbuck & @robbystarb Deal, my assumption was wrong, I still think your communist views are disgusting but at least you're not voting for a warmonger. Also, Fidel Castro stole everything from my family of cattle ranchers so i’d appreciate an apology for calling him a hero

absolutely fucking unreal
tweet from the onion saying, "Dying Gazans Criticized For Not Using Last Words To Condemn Hamas" with a picture of a building blowing up tweet from Michael Eisen saying he's been fired as EIC of eLife for retweeting the onion piece from the first pic, and then a reply from a person named Acaydia saying, "If Palestinians would be demanding the release of our hostages, it would be much easier for me to advocate for peace. Instead, they are celebrating."

so many of you making it clear that you only support palestine to the extent that palestinians remain victims
tweet from @Remroum: Too many people only support Palestinians as victims. Talk about freedom, but want an occupied people to sit on their hands in perpetuity. Liberation isn't easy and resistance to oppression is often messy. Palestinians didn't ask for this, it was violently thrusted upon them.
