The U.S. House passing a resolution condemning socialism is a sign that we're moving in the right direction 🌹

This is a really great post on the origins of @wordpress.org, highlighting the value of creating and sharing for its intrinsic value, not for financial gain.
WordPress didn’t start in a boardroom.
It started with one frustrated blog post that’s still online, and that post kicked off the project that now powers around 43% of the web.

Embrace your ignorance and ask questions relentlessly in the pursuit of knowledge.
The actual secret to why I know stuff is that I ask a question any time I don’t understand literally anything. I don’t care how simple it is. Anybody who makes fun of you for asking a simple question likely doesn’t know the answer either

My first skate sesh all year, which is a shame, though I’m happy I made it out before it snows.
During this particularly stressful work year, I failed to prioritize my physical health, convincing myself that I needed to work when, in fact, the opposite was true.

Just when you thought that the Trump administration couldn't be any more embarrassing, they built and launched a parody MySpace page called "MySafeSpace" in an attempt to blame Democrats for the government shutdown and deflect responsibility.

We must ask ourselves what parts of this technology are truly beneficial to society, so we know what to retain and what to discard.
At some point it has to become clear that this tech exists is to create a more toxic society and enrich its owners. These uses are not aberrations but rather the entire purpose.
