relieved that in a work call today when I asked "does everyone else feel completely insane?" the response was pretty uniformly yes

new level of loathing unlocked when I learned the person trying to primary my Brooklyn city council rep grew up in Atherton, California

@eldang like, he's a citizen so in theory I should not worry but I had thought that green card holders were safe so who the fuck knows is the thing

oh my god it sucks having to say something so vulnerable to a congressional staffer to be understood, but I think telling my congressman's office that I'm scared they'll do nothing if my Lebanese Muslim partner (also their constituent) is disappeared made the staffer more sympathetic

Was thinking about getting the audiobook of some Cory Doctorow novels--light nerd listening for chores etc--but not sure I can take this much Wil Wheaton

If you dislike the state of Firefox, please recognize that part of the way it got there was by becoming dependent on the gravy train from Google.

It will still be years before it’s usable, but one thing you could consider is to help fund https://servo.org — it’s a fully independent rendering engine with some really great next-generation tech that is going to make the web a more secure, and a very large % of its contributor base comes from a worker cooperative’s members who happen to be some of the finest minds in browser technology.

The project is flourishing, and you can help it continue to chug along and even accelerate. There’s no telling if it’ll definitely become a full alternative to the current triad of chrome/safari/firefox, but we won’t find out if we don’t try. The future is what we make it.
