I can’t reasonably drop off FB—it’s the only connection I have to friends with whom I would otherwise never interact.
But I can indeed begin to minimize my utility to Zuck & Co. by no longer engaging on Threads.
And so here I am! Do your worst.

Gotta say, #HuntingtonBeach residents seem to really love to waste their tax dollars on quixotic, far-right quests to shove it to the libtards. If that's their goal, they're doing *great*.

Good god, #replit, how about an option that requires me to click to submit a prompt? I can't be the only one who accidentally hits plain old ENTER in the middle of writing my prompt. Even if I never did that, it's SO ANNOYING to have to use ⌘-ENTER all the time. UI design 101, folks.

![Me: This property is set using a dropdown in one spot and radio buttons in another. Use the latter in all cases, and also, could we be consolidating here so that both are using the same rendering code?
replit: Great idea you handsome genius, you! [. . .] OK, I’ve consolidated that code, replacing 120 lines of code with 4. We’re using radio buttons now in both cases.
Me: Love the clean-up of the code, but nope: here are screenshots demonstrating the dichotomy still exists.

Me: No. No it’s not.
replit: Hmmm. . . [. . .] OK, now it’s fixed!
Me: No it’s not. The code isn’t taking the path you think it is.

To be clear:
1. Arab nationalism—including Palestinian nationalism—is an imperialist/colonialist project.
2. Zionism is a movement of indigenous return and restoration; to the extent it reclaims land that was taken by imperialists, it is a stunning anti-colonial success story.
Now go and learn.
