Software developer, underperforms when hungry.

Still trying to figure out the world, but I do know that climate change is real, the earth is round, trans women are women, and black lives matter. Undecided on tabs vs spaces, cake vs pie, and cats vs dogs.

BS alert: David Geier, HHS Secretary RFK Jr.'s choice to "study" autism & vaccines, has been charged with practicing medicine without a license, given autistic children a dangerous drug not approved for use in the U.S., & improperly prescribed puberty blockers.

At this point I’m convinced that the entirety of ICE should be dismantled, and every agent blacklisted from law enforcement work for life.

This is just one story of casual evil, and new ones come out every day.

They never, ever explain “what next” because the answer is always “force white women to breed us a new continent” and the social and economic conditions do not yet exist for them to say that out loud.
The right are very good at making out immigration is the issue which affects people's lives. What they never do is talk about "what next". Oh sure, they "reduced the number of migrants", what next? Care sector has about 100,000 vacancies already, NHS struggling etc.

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.
This isn’t some rant saying “Germany has learned nothing from its past” - the reality is more subtle than that. Middle-class Germans live and travel with an incredible amount of ease and comfort, and they just got…sleepy. Many of them dismissed the far-right’s rage as just another set of complaints.
Just filed an article about the upcoming German elections (out on Sunday) and what strikes me is how timid much of the institutional pushback against the far-right has been. Some people have distinguished themselves but for the most part it’s just been really complacent - really disappointing.

When men have anatomical variations that make them FAST or STRONG or give them huge endurance, we're so impressed. They are athletic gods.

When woman have anatomical variations that make them fast....we start to ask if they're "really" women. Why is that? www.scientificamerican.com/article/spor...

Good morning. I wrote an essay for The Guardian about the perilous state of film and media preservation in 2024—the wiping of archives, the deletion of completed movies, etc. I argue that the corporate disregard for cultural history is a growing emergency:

This piece is absolutely lovely and speaks to the power of centering love and a strong commitment to a greater purpose as the shaping forces of your life.
Decades ago, a dozen friends gathered on the National Mall for breakfast. Despite the extravagant scene being captured by a Post photographer, the people at the center remained a mystery.

That is until Joyce Naltchayan Boghosian put the pieces together.
This photo on the National Mall captivated the country decades ago. The real story behind it remained a mystery — until now.
