Shaming people for their weight is always part of a pattern that does harm to many millions of people.

Trump sucks for many reasons, none of them are because he's fat.

Lots of people misrepresent their weight, and that's because we live in a world with power imbalances viciously skewed towards "thin" and "fit." That power imbalance is the problem, not any individual manifestation of it which is all we're seeing here.

the experience of being linus torvalds has gotta be so crazy. just think one day “i need some system to manage software versions” and then code something so good (and, tbh, free) that it just becomes the industry standard

Skimming through random midi files from years old downloads and found this one that has... lyrics.

it's an instrumental song from a video game.

In 1975, Icelandic women earned 40% less than men; today it is only 10%. A "Women's Day Off" strike was held in 1975; 90% of women refused to work. It shut down the country. In response Iceland passed a Gender Equality Act & elected a female president.
