If your government thinks the Pope โ€œdoesnโ€™t know what heโ€™s talking aboutโ€ when he defends migrantsโ€™ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. Itโ€™s suppressing them.

Brian Schatz: "This is not about money. There is enough money to bail out Argentina with $20b. There is enough money to purchase a brand new aircraft for $173m for Noem. There is enough money to renovate the WH ballroom. What there isn't enough money for under this Republican government is you."

If you want a weird but true fact to talk about:

Dexter Holland, lead singer of The Offspring, was instrumental in this. His doctorial thesis in molecular biology was sequencing mRNA in HIV. The paper was also heavily cited in creating the COVID-19 vaccine.

With news that the Corporation for Public Broadcasting is shutting down due to Trumpโ€™s meddling, itโ€™s worth watching Mr. Rogers testifying to the Senate about the real value of what weโ€™ve all lost.

The rescission bill has passed the Senate. Once it passes the House, as expected, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's budget will be zeroed out for the first time since 1967, back when TV stations still broadcast in black and white.

Every democrat in every office needs to be challenged in their primaries. They need to be held accountable for the ways in which they have been complicit in the situation that we are in now.
If they are unchallenged, it's a signal that whatever they are doing is just fine.

A screenshot of Firefox Nightly, with the Codepen https://codepen.io/keithamus/pen/wBaZVaX open. The page showing 6 heading levels, showing the CSS, HTML and the rendered page. Each heading is styled differently using the provided CSS selectors, `:heading` (which styles all headers), `:heading(-2n+3)` (styles h1 and h3 elements), `:heading(5, 6)` (styles the h5 and h6 elements). Another Firefox Nightly window is open, showing the `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag is set to `true`, making the rendered page styled using the new selectors.

Hot off the presses! Firefox Nightly (www.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefo...) adds the new :heading pseudo! Easily style all headings, or use nth-child-like AnB syntax to select a range of headings! Needs `layout.css.heading-selector.enabled` flag enabled. Try it out and let me know your thoughts.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Itโ€™s been nothing short of a disaster.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated

If you, a business, are reliant on an open source project to function it is YOUR responsibility to assess and ensure the health of that project by either contributing to it yourself or by using an alternative if project health cannot be guaranteed.

โœจ Iโ€™ve got a couple of extra General Admission tickets to @renderatl.com and Iโ€™d love to give them to folks who might not otherwise get a chance to go.

If youโ€™re from an underrepresented group in tech and want to be in the room or know someone who should be DM me!

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights.

Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.
