Because of the rise of anti-science thinking and conspiracy theories I have been dreading a day when, if you want to tell a ghost story while camping you must first soberly explain that ghosts aren't real.
But ghosts ARE real. They are real while you are telling the story, that's the whole point to let them be real for a little bit and then... to let it go.
It's real in the way that myths are real. Are we too deep into the age of nonsense for wonder and fun to survive?
@juddlegum I would, but it’s on telegram.
@ClaireCopperman I could not teach in Florida right now. Education is being gutted.
@RHW So many adjectives for what they’re doing to public education here in the U.S.

All Tyre Nichols wanted to do was go home.
All Trayvon Martin wanted to do was go home.
All Amadou Diallo wanted to do was go home.
Breonna Taylor WAS home.

Hi friends, I was laid off from Google last week and I'm looking for new opportunities. I'd like to find a role where I'm directly working with people to address their infrastructure needs.
A few of the types of problems I'd love to work on:
- building internal platforms
- on-prem/hybrid cloud
- cost optimization
- ops/infra tooling
But I'm also open to many other areas of focus. If you're looking for a senior engineer with an ops/infra focus, please get in touch.
I talked to a friend who’s a middle school ELA teacher in FL. She has no more classroom library. For the last 20 minutes of each class, instead of doing DEAR (Drop Everything and Read), the students take out their mobile phones.

CLIMATE HEAT!
The largest glacier between the high peaks of Mount Rainier and Glacier Peak has melted away after a long battle with global warming.
For thousands of years, the Hinman Glacier graced the crest of the Washington Cascades in what is now King County.

Out doing errands today when I noticed a large crowd gathered for an anti-abortion rally outside the State Capitol building in Salem, OR. I decided to walk by and get a sense of who was in the crowd and spotted these Oregon Nazis standing in the back handing out fliers for a Holocaust denial film. You'd think "Nazis against genocide" would be a tough PR to pull off. But intellectual consistency and fascism rarely go together.

"The state calls it's own violence law. But that of the individual crime"
@MattHodges @nlowell Alors, c’est quoi?
@PeggyJoan @JaneGray No waiting. It’s already there.
@Melody@masto.ai @deannapizzuti There is no “pro-life,” only pro-forced-birth.

After raking in record profits, Chevron has announced that the company will buy back $75 billion of its own shares.
Oil and gas companies jacked up prices to line their own pockets at the expense of the American people.
@yoused Oh honey, there are so many kinds of crazy these days!
@brndnpink@hachyderm.io Which suggests it’s not just me. But sorry ‘bout that.
Dear @ivory, It may just be me, but the “boost” icon looks like a little penis.
