LEAKER PLUGGED

Pentagon leaks: US air national guardsman, 21, identified as suspect

Jack Teixeira led Thug Shaker Central online group and is facing arrest in Massachusetts, say reports

Bonus info: Jack lives (or lived) in Hebron, CT and I assume comes from a wealthy family. He's a good golfer, having won a tournament at age 18.

He echoes Donald Trump in that he hates big government and law enforcement agencies.

@rbreich they watch Fox and enjoy being lied to because they hear what they want to hear. They do not want to be intellectually challenged

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

Some popcorn-requiring good news...

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 Perry—a white man—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 convicted—& 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.

@tc_morekindness @LouisIngenthron @lednabm @shoq if they can work and get married at twelve they should also be voting

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 😑

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 march—just remember—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 fraud—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 4—they had the same judge

Texas GOP has proudly chosen fascism over democracy. Believe them

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.

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

The future of 44 million Ukrainians is jeopardized because the US gives security clearance to a disgruntled, young gun nut, who wanted to impress his online buddies by posting state secrets online?

Wait… WHAT?!!!!?!
