If judges can refuse to officiate gay weddings, gay defendants should be able to refuse to be heard by those judges. If they can’t be compelled to perform the most heteronormative of functions, why would anyone believe they are capable of putting their biases aside for something with higher stakes?

I absolutely hate how every US media outlet will do this every time a cop shoots someone. They'll make the headline vague to imply an officer was shot by a suspect, then abuse passive voice to absolve the officer of any wrongdoing. "the agent’s weapon discharged". BRO, HE SHOT HIS COLLEAGUE.

got to experience autechre live for the first time, it was an incredible audio experience in total darkness. they played banger after banger for 90 minutes. the openers played stellar sets too, kudos to cygnus and mark broom for creating an amazing atmosphere πŸ–€βœŒπŸ»

Would be a good time to shut down Dreamforce. If I have friends who are still speaking there, this is a good reason to cancel.

Ah yeah, I miss my coffee ritual too. I noticed when I started taking stimulants for my ADHD I stopped getting caffeine withdrawal headaches, and coffee became occasional rather than a daily necessity

It might be worth looking into L-Theanine supplements as a way to smooth out the energy rush from caffeine. I think it's why green tea is said to provide a more relaxing caffeinated state than coffee

I thought libvirt's Virtio accomplishes the same essence of paravirtualization for QEMU/KVM, but maybe it doesn't have full feature parity? wiki.libvirt.org/Virtio.html

We Have to Stop Using Facebook and X to Warn People About Disasters In the early morning hours of July 4th, as the Guadalupe River reached catastrophic heights, city officials in Kerr County, Texas turned to an all-too familiar mechanism for getting the word out to ar...

More natural disasters are hitting the U.S. than ever before.

But too often, our crisis warning systems depend on Facebook and Twitter/X, social media platforms that are fading in popularity and have been engineered to hide vital information from people when they need it most.

This needs to end:

my praise for in-n-out is not for quality food, but because i can order a burger and coffee after midnight to fuel my goblin lifestyle. it's one of the last bastions of the late-night diners; a third space for younger millennials and gen-Z to socialize at

Urgent! Every Dollar Counts! We grow science with words, and are the only Asian American-run science newsroom: independent, nonprofit, led by Gen-Z! The Xylom needs to raise $7,500 by the end of the month to stay afloat. Please…

Time for some real talk: @thexylom.com, the only Asian American-run news outlet covering science, climate, and the environment, will run out of funding in July if we don't secure $7,500 by the end of the month. I might lose my job at a time while waiting for a visa extension -- a nightmare scenario.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably β€” first in uniform, then in public office.

Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.
