why don’t computers have these cupholders anymore… they were so useful

Few things are better for your career than being known as a helpful person

Closure of northern Minnesota camp is ‘the greatest story.’ Here’s why. Willow River, Minn., camp One Heartland is for sale after serving kids there for nearly three decades.

After nearly three decades, a Minnesota summer camp for kids with HIV/AIDS is closing and up for sale... because retroviral drugs are so effective that there aren't enough campers.

Science works, y'all.

I'm glad that I'm not the only person that does this < _ <

From experience, the key to maintainable codebases is

```
find . -path '*/node_modules/*' -prune -o -type f \( -name "*.ts" -o -name "*.tsx" -o -name "*.astro" \) ! -name "*.test.*" ! -name "*.mock.*" -exec wc -l {} \; | awk '$1 > 100' | sort -nr
```

I'm using TypeScript as well as someone that also usually uses Python for these kinds of things. I haven't regretted using TypeScript just yet, though I'm super used to it at this point, but we'll see what happens when the problems get more complicated.

I don't know who needs to hear this but you are important, you are loved, there is an opossum living in your attic which is why your socks keep going missing, you are valid & you matter.

Repost this if you too would like a small modular nuclear reactor in your backyard.

There is a push among some orgs, "moderate" legislators, and even trans people to "give up the sports issue" in hopes that will stop hate.

I have watched moderates try this in 23 state houses.

It doesn't work. There is no amount of give you can offer that will stop them from taking.

Yep, I was massively confused when I saw they picked him for AG. I didn’t even know he was eligible.

There will definitely be a bunch of comprehensive guides going around, but I also know ppl are scared and overwhelmed and prob won't read them.

So here's the most basic things I think every activist group / advocacy nonprofit / etc should be thinking about.

The Future of Public Health—or Lack Thereof—Under Trump Any significant influence of RFK Jr. in Trump’s orbit would represent a recklessness never before seen in America’s public health history.

My latest for The Nation on public health under Trump, whether or not RFK Jr. takes a formal post or remains as an unofficial advisor. Reckless. Conspiracy-addled. Know-nothing. We need to get ready. www.thenation.com/article/arch...

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.

We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Bluesky is in the midst of a permanent shift as professional content creators realize it’s reached critical mass and embrace it as a social platform.

Change is the only constant.

Let’s hope we learned from the bird site and are a bit more prepared to stave the dark side of the engagement economy.

Could your iPhone cost $300 more in the Trump administration? Apple avoided tariffs on most of its products during the first Trump presidency. No one knows what happens with Trump 2.0.

If President-elect Donald Trump follows through with sweeping new tariffs on anything made in China, your next iPhone could cost roughly $300 more, economists estimate.

The Nintendo Music App is a resounding failure.

When I told my parents about my depression at age 15 my dad bought a gun safe. I really can’t imagine the mindset of parents who have the exact opposite impulse.

Greece legalized same-sex marriage on Thursday, becoming the first Orthodox Christian country to do so. The country’s Parliament also extended equal parental rights to same-sex couples. nyti.ms/3T02d0d

CDC plans to drop five-day covid isolation guidelines People with covid will be able to return to school, work and society if they have been fever-free for 24 hours and their symptoms are mild and improving.

CW: Death

My late partner died at his office working late because of the societal pressure to work through sickness & health issues. This and past decisions by the CDC irresponsibly cause unnecessary grief and heartache and to say I’m pissed off doesn’t even begin to describe the anger I feel.
