Amber Thurman was only 28 when she died. A routine procedure - a D&C - would have saved her life, but Georgia has made performing a D&C a felony, punishable by up to ten years in prison. Pro-life kills women. www.propublica.org/article/geor...
How far do you think you have to spit a watermelon 🍉 seed to get 5th place at the Indiana State Fair?
Full Disclosure: Top 4 spots were 4-H kids that basically lived there. 😅

Amazon said on Monday it would require employees to return to the office five days a week, effective 2 January.
“We’ve decided that we’re going to return to being in the office the way we were before the onset of COVID"
Andy Jassy, the CEO, said in a note to employees.
Since Covid lockdowns first forced workers home four years ago, employers and employees have clashed over how many days of the work week must be spent in the office.
In May last year, employees at Amazon’s Seattle headquarters staged a walkout protesting against changes to the e-commerce giant’s climate policy, layoffs and a return-to-office mandate.
“Before the pandemic, it was not a given that folks could work remotely two days a week, and that will also be true moving forward,” Jassy wrote.
“Our expectation is that people will be in the office outside of extenuating circumstances.”
I took a class on Career Growth today.
It left me with some insights I feel I must share.
Mostly about the 40 year corporate nut shot I finally realized is happening.
And it's weirdly sad and hilarious at the same time.

Following an apparent 2nd assassination attempt on #Trump, #ElonMusk posted, "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala."
User cb_doge on X wrote, "Why they want to kill Donald Trump." #Musk, the billionaire owner of the social media site who supports Trump, replied, "And no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala."

Users criticized #ElonMusk for his post, saying it could be interpreted as #incitement of #violence against #POTUS Joe #Biden & VP #KamalaHarris, both of whom condemned Sun's apparent assassination attempt.
User LakotaMan1: "Who else here feels that Elon Musk should be stripped of his #security clearance, & US citizenship & then deported back to his home nation of South Africa?"
Elizabeth de la Vega, a fmr federal prosecutor, wrote that #Musk's post would warrant a visit by the #SecretService.
"In all seriousness, as a former federal prosecutor, I can tell you that a statement like #ElonMusk's below DOES require an immediate visit by the US #SecretService. That is the protocol in every similar situation,” wrote Elizabeth de la Vega.
While 2 gunmen have tried to assassinate Trump in the past 2 months, #Musk's claim that "no one is even trying to assassinate Biden/Kamala" is not true.
In Aug, the #FBI arrested a man in VA after he made online threats about setting #Harris on fire.
Legacy Media is largely ignoring it but the Israeli military just admitted it killed 3 more Israeli hostages.
With so many unanswered questions, I have 3 questions that we need answered immediately if we have any hope to uphold peace, security, and justice.

Van Aubel's theorem states that if you start with a convex quadrilateral and construct a square on each side, externally to the quadrilateral, then the line segments connecting the centers of opposite squares will be equal in length and perpendicular to each other.
This is an interesting (pronounced like "frustrating") thread. Talking about widespread failures of different activitypub services to actually interoperate. And people keep talking about specific kinds of Activities, which are not understood by (mainly) mastodon, and then falling back to Note as a lowest common denominator.
cc @julian community.nodebb.org/post/1010…
But, Note is not an activity. It's an object. These are not the same kind of thing. But in AP, everything is anything, so here we are.
@samsethi
And there are solutions to that. But they take real work and coordination. We should have schemas. We should have a schema registry. We should have defined fallback mechanisms. We should have conformance profiles.
But none of these things exist, and it's killing us.
I really want a replacement for activitypub with a simpler and more implementable set of semantics
AP is too flexible and too hard to semantically interpret, and we get interop issues because of it
Stepping away even from things like blocking where the design of the protocol is fundamentally inconducive to having them be practical for a minute, I want something like AP without the linked json or other W3C-ey bits
