I haven't been so appalled by content on Bluesky as I was last night. Dozens of replies explicitly celebrating attacks on civilians in Tel Aviv. If you've convinced yourself that attacking Israeli civilians is a good thing - you're no better than Netanyahu, and you are yourself a genocidal maniac.
To those citing polls of Israelis showing support for ethnic cleaning as justification for targeting Israeli civilians - there were also polls of Gazans showing support for the 7 Oct attacks. Neither justify targeting Israeli or Palestinian civilians. Advocate peace, not war crimes by either side.
Not trying to be a dick but the Executive Director can take a fucking pay cut.
I found a reddit thread from 4 months ago where he said his salary was $170k/year. I'm not saying he is making obscene money, but if that's nearly 15% of all operating costs he can shave that down to $80k-$100k and still live comfortably if he's willing to accept a more austere standard of living.
I'm not saying he doesn't deserve to be paid well, but he's getting a damn sight better pay than moderators and community managers who seem to make up 50% of the budget for multiple people: the trust and safety team as well as the other employees at the foundation.

I've been accused of using "AI" a few times recently, and I think I found out why — the fact is you will have to pry my em dashes from my cold, dead, probably still typing hands.
I think the people that claim any em-dashes have to be the work of AI have never actually used a word processor, let alone have never actually written anything of substance other than a comment on Reddit or a post on 4chan.
Word even will translate "---" into an em-dash. So will other software.
You can easily type an em dash on a Mac keyboard with the Option key.
On Windows I used to use "WinCompose" to easily insert an em dash.
Maybe I'm dating myself here (53) but when I was in high school and learning how to type we were taught there were three common types of dashes.
A "dash" (-). Used for hyphenating words.
An "en dash" (--). Used for a "series":
The 2nd World War occupied the World's consciousness between 1939--1945.
And an "em dash" (---). Used for various typographical purposes.
@gme @BernieDoesIt Yeah, the knowitall I quoted apparently can't tell a hyphen from an en dash, so joke's on them.
I admit em dashes may be stylistically over the top for a 500 character tweet or toot, but they've crept in from my other, longer writing. That's not an apology, just a clarification 🙂
Funnily enough, I find that en and em dashes are more easily available on my (Android) phone keyboard than on physical computer keyboards. Ive had to setup my own shortcuts for them on my laptop.
@gme @BernieDoesIt Interesting. In Word, --- on a line by itself is translated to a section separator line going the whole page width. -- in the middle of a sentence with a letter directly after with no space becomes what I thought was an em-dash. Is it really just an en-dash? - vs – vs — It's hard to tell. From Word: – Well, dang: it's been an en-dash the whole time.
You can find the option Smart Dashes from menu bar or from preferences panel. When it is enabled, Typora will convert -- and --- to en dash and em dash. And ... will be converted to ellipse (…).
Note: On macOS, if “Convert on Input” is choose, both -- and --- will be converted to em dash, and for en dash, please alt + - to input it. This seems to be a macOS spec which Typora also follows on macOS.
## Escape quotes and dashes
You could use \" and \- to escape quotes and dashes to prevent them from being converted.
Note: Both Smart Quotes and Smart Dashes are ignored in YAML/code/math block or in source code mode. Smart Quotes You can find the option Smart Quotes from menu bar or from preferences panel. When it is enabled, Typora will convert ' and

i really hope shah jr. is sitting next to netenyahu watching both these countries burn. operation dying lion. never again will iran have a dictatorship backed by the dogs of the west.
Any person in uniform wearing a mask & refusing to be properly & reliably identified should be assumed to be the same kind of murderer we’ve seen in #Minnesota.
Vance Boelter, the suspect wanted for fatally shooting a Minnesota state lawmaker and her husband has reportedly been identified, according to the Associated Press.
Iran’s air defense forces have shot down another stealth F-35 fighter jet belonging to the Zionist regime, a day after they struck and destroyed two of these advanced jets along with multiple drones.
Just arrived downtown. It's packed. Already incomparable to last weekend. Not just a single rally or march but many, in different parts of downtown (in this video, two rallies meet)
I'll be documenting the protest and likely police violence in this thread 👇
Just ran up the march to the front. The whole thing might be half a mile long, maybe more. Police only observing and blocking highway entrances so far.
The crowd is staying put. Still a ton of energy. Still 100% peaceful. We're seeing LAPD and the Marines getting busy in the background, clearly planning something.
Down the block, hundreds, maybe over a thousand cops: LAPD, LASD, horses, anti riot vehicles... Even when it's local "law enforcement" and not the national guard or Marines, you can tell they are at war against their own people.
Calm interlude over. They are pushing us out of the park using flashbangs and rubber bullets. But all exits seem obstructed by police barrages. Everyone is confused and unsure where we can go
In addition to celebrating the birthday of President Donald Trump, today marks the 250th anniversary of the Army. There will be a grand military parade down Constitution Avenue in Washington, DC and festivities to mark the celebration.

Had not expected to be pulled into the Boston Pride parade but as soon as a group saw my double-sided LED #NoKings protest sign I got abducted, but in a good, non-ICE way. Happy to Ally Up on a day of inclusion with Liberty and Justice for All. I got my steps in and my batteries held up.
The gallery is just as responsible for this incident as the tourists.
Who the hell leaves a priceless, crystal, chair, just sitting out on the floor with not even some rope and stanchions to cordon it off for its protection?
I mean, the tourist is an idiot, but the gallery curators are fucking morons!
#NoKings Survived the urban hellscape of the SFBA east bay — helicopter gunships, killer drones, wave after wave of cyborg soldiers coming at us, unstoppable 😱😝
Yeahno. It was quite a large crowd in Fremont where I went, but the energy was almost 100% positive. In addition to the large number of people marching, holding signs, etc, there were huge numbers of people driving by and honking. The two major dangers out there were sunburn and dehydration. I took a number of pictures and video

How To Check Disk Health In Linux: A Beginners Guide
“Your computer’s disk drive stores all your important files. Photos, documents, videos, and everything lives on your disk. But what happens when your disk starts to fail? You could lose everything. Worry not! Linux has built-in tools to check your disk health. You can spot disk-related problems early and save your data.”
Smartmontools is a package on Linux that provides tools for monitoring and managing the health of storage devices—such as hard drives and SSDs—using the built-in Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.) system found in most modern drives.
But other tools are also covered such as badblocks, fsck, and the graphical user interface app GNOME Disks.

Cuba, a developing country with inherited disadvantages from colonialism and neocolonialism, faces unique challenges due to the US-imposed economic blockade.
The blockade significantly limits Cuba's access to financing, technology, and external sources of income.
Cuba's ability to sustain itself and advance social development under such conditions is remarkable, considering the goals and actions of its aggressors.
that grease was yucko. looked like milky sludge. the bearings are ok though so now i just need to pull this shaft apart which means i have to pop off this little snap ring on the end, apparently
