This is kinda how we got Linux BTW.
The Helsinki University just kinda let Linus tinker with rewriting Minix on the clock. I don't actually remember if they (the uni) didn't like Minix or if it was just... what they did.

Neurodivergent folks should all be paid a stipend to do things we like to do, and the world would end up benefiting from it.
The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this.
I don’t view it as a Me problem.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

I took a shower after aikido practice and is that enough reason to post a selfie? A reasonable degree of cleanliness? Or is it just narcissism? I feel like I’m far too insecure to be a narcissist, but maybe that’s what all the narcissists think

I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable.
We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina.
A vote for this bill is a mistake.

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Teen Vogue was seriously committed to diverse and inclusive journalism and their disability coverage was extremely good. This is a big loss and someone better snap this column up!!
It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.
1. This morning, California Governor said he was in "complete alignment" with anti-LGBTQ+ hate-influencer Charlie Kirk of TPUSA on transgender sports.
He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office.
Democrats swept all 13.
That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular).
They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.
