@Lana Every moral panic is a quiet campaign for just a little more state authority, a little more overt repression, a little more leeway for the police to put "those people" back in the desired social order.

The right desperately wants to return to the type of minority, white, patriarchal rule they enjoyed by depriving voting & other civil rights during Jim Crow.

But they also have to say they "hate government overreach" because Federal civil rights acts banned these racist state laws.

So they covertly campaign for a state that will actively intervene in their narrow interests—but not the diverse majority's interests—by zigging and zagging through all these scare tactics.

society doesn’t see disabled people as people. We’re symbols—either of triumph over adversity or tragic cautionary tales.

It’s easier for non-disabled people to project their fears or fantasies onto us than to engage with complex realities of disabled lives.

every city should have a public tool library and workshop space for people, as well as public spaces for work that requires more specialized tools or spaces

So hypothetically is there anyone who would want to buy me a dog collar.

The idea of an operating system that only has what you need to do remote sysadmin and nothing else is very interesting to me. I should look into it

For centrist elites, it's called a "policy disagreement."

For the working class and marginalized communities, it's a matter of life or death.

Do not normalize extremists.

OK moshidon is ok, I guess I can tolerate this for a non dead app

I love nsfw for people but if you’re only looking at thin white girls who aren’t getting paid maybe think on that

I know I should stop using megalodon, but I hate all the other UIs on the other apps. I'm posting from tusky and its like Facebook and twitter had a baby. I don't like it.

Worryingly, several public health academics and scientists are rushing to sane-wash Trump's nominees. They naively think that trying to place nice with them now will limit the damage. The history of authoritarian governments proves otherwise. Do not obey in advance. It only makes things worse.

TIL: If you want to save yourself the trouble of SSH into a machine and then run some systemctl command, you can also just use `systemctl -H <hostname>`.

I knew there was a `-H` parameter but I always thought it required some special setup… turns out, nope, it just uses SSH.

So if I wanted to be a DBA for scientific databases (preferably biology) is that a realistic job market? And how would I break into that? What SQL variety is industry standard? Are there many remote positions?

Slightly lewd joke 

You can't convince me that LinkedIn isn't a fetish thing for people who enjoy acting like blank corporate drones.

"Settlerism is closely associated with the political project of whiteness. White people tend to think whiteness is about skin color alone, and that prejudices about melanin, and indigeneity, and gender, and ability, are both inevitable and mutual. All of these are political beliefs that gird a universe of policy and practice, and they are taken for implicit fact by ignorant millions. Racism, and all the prejudices whiteness unites, are neither inevitable nor mutual. One finds common the fear that the wronged will simply return the favor. You sweet child, we are not all barbarians. There will be truth, and then reconciliation."
