2 Billion Email Addresses Were Exposed, and We Indexed Them All in Have I Been Pwned

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]

I feel this should be obvious but we do understand the reason for the focus on gender affirming care for incarcerated people, right? The goal is to get people to admit that they think gender affirming care is *not medically necessary*.

WBEZ/Sun-Times are crowd-sourcing a map of ICE raids.
Put aside what they’re doing and to whom and why.
The fact that the people of an American city, including the mayor and governor, have to guess where Federal agents are operating, is itself insane.

Every single day of this administration, Trump finds a new way to hemorrhage soft power from a country that once had more to spare than any in the world.

I hate that the word "poaching" is commonly used to describe workers moving jobs to ensure they're getting paid the market rate for their services. It's corporate speak for "paying workers better than us," another garbage framing by Big Tech that we shouldn't accept. Worker mobility is a good thing.

I want to talk about my friend.
I met him at a summer camp for nerds when I was 12, pre-transition. We hit it off immediately, became SUPER close, and our parents would drive us back and forth for sleepovers for the next five years.
He was the first trans person I met. He transitioned in the 90s.
