The more I see from the Trump disadministration, the more convinced I am that we are in the _dumbest_ timeline.

So let's play a game. Try to predict the dumbest course of action moving forward and see how well your prediction fares. To qualify, predictions MUST include a deadline date.

I'll start.
Still my favorite movie, not just because it's witty and hilarious, not just because it's endearing and heartfelt, not just because it barely existed at all, but because it's all of this and rated G.

This is an EVERYONE movie.

This is what America voted for last year.
For the First Time This Century, Child Mortality Is Likely to Rise.

"For the first time in 25 years, child mortality rates for preventable diseases are projected to increase, after having declined for 25 years."

I wonder who at @microsoft.com approved this useless layout for Media Player (formerly Groove)'s mini mode.

Until this is fixed, I hope all of their chocolate is squishy.

RFK Jr.'s medical expertise does not even rise to the level of quackery.

He's the equivalent of a flat-earther heading NASA or Donald Trump being president.
This is all-hands on deck. RFK Jr. wants to destroy vaccination in the US. COVID and HBV vaccination were the first step. These diseases WILL come back. And your personal vaccination status is important, but so is the coverage in your community. So up your game and fight. www.vox.com/2015/3/25/82...

Contrary to everything Republicans have ever told you, immigrating to the US legally does not actually protect you from deportation.

The actual anti-merit is HIX — Homogeneity, Inequity, and Exclusion. Always has been.

Guys, do not use the Discord Checkpoint thing (Discord's attempt at Spotify Wrapped).

It requires enabling them access to scrape your data, and has an alarming amount of private data being used for it.

Make sure you have these disabled.

As a tabletop game designer, mine is "Oh, like Monopoly?". And I have to say no, nothing like it at all.

But even worse is the comment "You've got way too much free time!", as if making games isn't work.
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

"Religious liberty" doesn’t protect your child from measles.

Vaccines do.

But a West Virginia judge just threw out the vaccine policy that kept public schools safe.

Pretty convincing evidence here that the Trump administration was planning to jailbreak and provide asylum for Bolsonaro -- and that Trump inadvertently revealed the plan.

And this, as the now-cliche goes, would have been a paralyzing scandal for any other administration.

Similar to #keming as a term for kerning issues (in particular between r and n), I dub this #Threeinois .
If you're designing (or choosing) a typeface and can't tell the difference between I and l, you're doing it wrong. This goes double for professional applications and triple for multinational conglomerates.

Funny how in banning items 1-9, they themselves are doing item 10.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
