MLP: Pony Life 

And now I've seen the comments. Some like Pony Life, some don't, & some are confused, of course.

Also of course some hate it to the point of begging for a season 10 of FIM, without watching a single minute of it.

I'll tell ya what: If it weeds the more toxic bronies out of the MLP fandom, I'll judge it an even bigger hit.

Zoom acquired Keybase today.

Keybase helped me to identify a trend in the software industry: using a pretty UI to cover up the disruption of an open ecosystem with a closed, centralized replacement. Keybase seemed cool on the face of it - making encryption easier is a laudible goal, and PGP certainly could use the improvement. But, thanks to Keybase, now I ask different questions upfront.

Beware the Keybase formula:

1. Integrates with an existing, open ecosystem
2. May have open-source clients, but server is closed source and does not federate
3. Pretty UI and good marketing
4. VC funded

MLP: Pony Life 

I actually like Pony Life so far, but I've always liked cute silliness, & I can see why most adult FIM fans won't.

But just remember: MLP exists first for Hasbro to sell gendered toys to children, & I have a feeling they'll succeed more with Pony Life than they did with Gen 3.5.

MLP: Pony Life 

So I saw the first episodes of Pony Life today.

The episodes are short & silly, & the characters are as exaggerated in behavior & personality as they are in art style (with exceptions I won't spoil), almost if not full-on to flat parodies of their FIM selves.

I think...

acab, trans, :V 

This seems like a good time to remind folks that "ACAB" does *not* stand for "assigned cop at birth."

SCOTUS, good news!! 

Got it, reading now. The holding is simple: "An employer who fires an individual merely for being gay or transgender violates Title VII'.

This is really good news because it applies nationwide. (Fewer than half of states currently have non-discrimination protections on the basis of gender identity. A dozen or so have no protections of any sort for any LGBTQ+ employees.)

SCOTUS, good news!! 

Quote I got from someone else (because I'm still waiting for the PDF): "Today, we must decide whether an employer can fire someone simply for being homosexual or transgender. The answer is clear. An employer who fires an individual for being homosexual or transgender fires that person for traits or actions it would not have questioned in members of a different sex. Sex plays a necessary and undisguisable role in the decision, exactly what Title VII forbids."

For the next Global Accessibility Awareness day, I hope that Mastodon, or @pinafore at least, has all images only show their Alt-Text and not the image, so at least for that day only, people will at least describe their images somewhat, or just write text. Maybe too drastic, I know. #a11y
