I don’t think we should instantly assume everyone who hung out with Epstein or his friends are raping babies and eating people and should go to jail without trial.
But I don’t think they should be in charge of anything either.
There’s more than a little bit of space between sending someone to the firing squad and picking them to be in charge of your institutions.

Both Green Day and Kid Rock performed as part of Superbowl LX: the former as an official opening act and the latter as headliner of the MAGA alternative halftime show.
One is "punk rock" and "antifascist" and the other is "country rock" and "white nationalist."
Only one betrayed their values. Guess who. While Kid Rock proudly stood up in support of his bigotry, Green Day pulled punches and self-censored their most political lyrics. Punk rock my ass.
yeah I was wondering what they were going to do when they started playing “American Idiot”..
Didn’t take too long to get my answer
Question for #php devs based on a conversation on the PHPC discord:
Do you think it makes sense for PHP projects to include a templating language (twig, plates, blade, etc)? Or is it foolish to do that when we have a perfectly good template language at home, in the form of PHP itself?

Seriously, lads, it has been uncool since BEFORE the middle ages.
Bit by bit a huge shift is happening in europe, even in highly americanised countries (holland, germany) and it's amazing to see.
Countries forbidding US social media for children, universities switching from the big 5 to open source, forums popping up with EU substitutes, governments creating their own EU clouds and much much more.
People actually start to change their behavior.
I hope a lobbying-ban follows soon.
This is so good. 😊

Avec ses questions de vocabulaire et de femmes girondes, @lanuisance m’a rappelé l’existence de l’expression “il y a du monde au balcon”, qui est quand même assez rigolote.
Je me demande s’il y a beaucoup d’autres expressions qui assimilent une personne à un édifice.
Je vois l’expression validiste “il n’a pas la lumière à tous les étages”, mais j’imagine qu’il y en a d’autres, non ?

“The Washington Post’s decision to cut a large share of its climate and environmental reporters is not just a newsroom story…
cuts to environmental journalism thin the information infrastructure societies rely on to recognize risks and respond before harm becomes harder to reverse.”

So while they had us arguing over which bathrooms people are allowed to use and which basic school subjects are racist they were sacrificing to demons, raping children and eating people.
There have been more consequences for the people who went on the unauthorized fed-guided tour of the capital than there will ever be for the Epstein clients and connections or the COVID criminals.
We are obviously gonna have to vote REALLY hard to fix this.

It’s funny, I used to wonder about students who use ChatGPT to cheat because if ChatGPT can do the work then why do they need you?
Now I realize that question applies to the entire workforce from CEO down to intern.
I believe that the upper management and C level executives can and should be replaced by ChatGPT. They lie, hallucinate, obfuscate, and infer from incomplete data, and are apparently suffer no consequences for their mistakes.
Just like ChatGPT.

‘The Epstein class's commitment to destroying "The Economy" makes sense when you understand that trashing civilization is "much easier than finding the next bargain." They want to buy the dip, so they're creating the dip.’
It's hard to talk about the Epstein class without thinking about "The Economy" - "The Economy" in the sense of a kind of mystical, free-floating entity whose health or sickness determines the outcomes for all the rest of us, whom we must make sacrifices to if we are to prosper.--

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !
I'm still not talking about Black history. I'm still talking about white US history.
Q: Why do Black kids not do well in school? Is it because their dads are uninvolved and uncaring parents? Bill Cosby and Herschel Walker told me that, and they are good and wise men that we should listen to! It's Black dads' fault! Boo Black men!
A: No. Black kids only do poorly in school *in extremely racist countries.*

Feb 9: Education
Q: Why do Black kids not do well in school, or in subjects like Math and Science?
A: This is only true in extremely racist countries. A racist person cannot teach a Black child effectively. It's not race. It's racism.

Related: Many of you were horrified to see that a kindergarten teacher would call ICE on her own 6 year old Hispanic student.
hachyderm.io/@mekkaokereke/116…
For some reason this is more shocking for US folk than the fact that there are cops stationed *in elementary schools*, to quickly arrest Black children at teachers' requests.
30,000 kids under 7 have been arrested. Of course they are disproportionately Black. Because racism.
Kindergarten teacher called a prank ICE hotline thinking it was real. She called to report her 6 year old student to ICE to try to get them and their family deported.6 years old.
She does not enjoy hearing her own words and actions played back to her.
