Alas, no. Fox News viewers aren't victims, they are co conspirators.

Every kid is different. Learn who this one is by talking, asking questions, and observing.

Excellent timing that a 21 year-old cis, straight white guy Air National Guardsman who makes videos of himself shooting guns while shouting racist and antisemitic epithets is behind the massive intel documents leak on Discord while Republicans claim, without evidence, that trans folks are bad for military readiness.

In Texas, Daniel Perryβ€”a white manβ€”posted "he might kill a few people," drove his car past a red light & into a previously peaceful BLM march, shot & killed a protestor (a US Vet), was duly charged, unanimously convictedβ€”& TX Gov Abbott is pardoning him.😳

Texas is announcing to the world that in their view, murdering people for exercising their First Amendment right to peacefully protesting racism is OK.

This isn't democracy. It's fascism. This sets a literally deadly precedent for the future.

Basically, this self-identified conservative, Christian intel leaker was grooming his own little gang of incels, for some strange reason.

I have a strong background in web dev (Node.js, PHP, UX/UI). I have some experience with Python, C++, C#. I have no problem picking up new things.

I have dabbled in hardware design (Bluetooth LE devices, IMUs, PCB design).

I've also gotten handy with Product roles (namely, as a SAFe certified Product Owner)

Looking for a developer role - full time, or preferably, part time employment here in the US. Remote preferred.

If you’ve been treated like a nail, everything looks like a hammer.

How many accidents are you having that you need your insurance company's app on your phone?

Small lottery win, car damaged.
Work bonus, fridge dies.
Tax refund, root canal. (current)
Etc etc etc πŸ˜‘

I have way too many such examples, where any small gain is immediately clawed back.
And while I am grateful for the times I have been allowed to almost break-even by a perceived windfall and I marvel at the timing, as if the universe was looking out for me in some small way..
maybe, just once, let me have the win.

If you're shocked TX Gov Abbot is planning to pardon Daniel Perry for murdering a man at a peaceful BLM marchβ€”just rememberβ€”TX is the state that sentenced a Black woman to 5 years for an uncounted ballot, but not a white male judge for deliberate voter fraudβ€”in the same County. TX sentenced a Black kid to 10 years for punching & killing 1 person, but not an affluent white teen for getting drunk & killing 4β€”they had the same judge

Texas GOP has proudly chosen fascism over democracy. Believe them

@servelan

A prosecutor in (IIRC) NYC previously said Jr was too stupid to prosecute. I hope that isn't the same finding here.

Suggestion: When inviting people, elected officials, celebrities, journalists, news services, public institutions, etc., to Mastodon, be sure to include a link to #Mastodon or an instance you recommend. It may sound like spoon-feeding, but making it as easy as possible for people in the moment they are thinking about it does help.

Raised by Birchers in Utah, and probably would still be one, but I had the great luck to be born gay, which forced me to re-examine everything I'd been taught.

All work meetings should be scheduled at least one week in advance because it takes that long to properly ramp up the meds.

I was horrified when I read what Sonequa Martin-Green got dished up, when she landed the role as Michael Burnham. I think she's been excellent, and I've loved Discovery.

It takes time and experience to shake off the brainwashing they received growing up. Sadly, some of them never will.
