Yes!
I stopped drinking alcohol in most social settings. And try to be first to ask for a non-alcoholic drink, esp at business social events. Just in case. It's my personal choice. I'm socially awkward anyway so I seldom get those follow-up questions. Can also take the pressure of every one else.
Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

The question isn’t "why does Signal use AWS?" It’s to look at the infrastructural requirements of any global, real-time, mass comms platform and ask how it is that we got to a place where there’s no realistic alternative to AWS and the other hyperscalers. 3/

Serious take: the solution to Safe Browsing false positives like the Immich one is passkeys.

Phishing regularly upends people's lives. The Safe Browsing cat-and-mouse with all its opaque false positives will be necessary until we roll out phishing-resistant auth.

i will never not be amused by how the conservative world is governed by the kind of “affirmative action” they say happens in mainstream institutions. totally unqualified dipshits are handed the keys to institutions because they say the right thing and have the right look.

(4/X) The president of the United States calls Jews "shylocks" and had a close advisor gives Hitler salutes, but the real antisemitism problem is a mayoral candidate who has worked on campaigns for Jewish candidates, and has been endorsed by many high-ranking Jewish elected officials.

What Sanders has been doing recently is highly instructive—and Democrats don’t need to be die-hard enthusiasts of his particular policy portfolio to extract the key lesson and act on it: Identify the victims of Trumpism, give them a voice, and get their stories told.

The thousands of victims of Trumpism are out there. Democrats just need to find them—and be their champion.

Welsh rugby is not known for smart #marketing.

But between 2004 and 2009 the jersey sponsor, Brains Beer, had to deal with the issue of not being allowed to advertise their products during matches in France.

The way they dealt with it was, genius. Here's a #rugbyhistory thread 🧵

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
