This post by Naoko on their experience with the Block layoff (not being cut but leaving anyway) is some hardcore shit. I cannot express how much respect I have for people who have a strong ethical compass and act decisively. 👏

This fucking guy

Ukrainians are angry at a tone in Western #media lately that #Ukraine is losing
#Disinfo from the usual #socialMedia #troll farms and #plutocrat influenced channels shilling a #narrative for a corrupt #agenda
So what does #Zelensky do?
He goes to the frontline in #Kupiansk and films himself there
While the #West repeats #Kremlin lies that #Russia controls it
😂
Zelensky is something else
Tough, crafty, true

The memes declaring "Gaza must be freed from Hamas" miss the critical point that after Netanyahu again broke the January ceasefire, Hamas themselves said they will relinquish all power in Gaza, release all hostages, and leave, on the condition that the Israeli military stop occupying Gaza—and Netanyahu rejected the offer because he refuses to give up Gaza.
This man is a war criminal committing genocide, and people are still focused on Hamas as if they control Israel's military.

Google's latest layoffs on the Chrome team really hits hard. They are letting go of people that desperately want to keep the web open. You can hate on Google on you want (I'm with you!) but the people on the Chrome team were amazing and only wanted what was best for the web.
This was so incredibly short sighted and stupid (and ultimately counterproductive)
Hard to imagine how tossing away the workers who built the things that continue to drive massive revenue for your executives is making your work more effective.
A gentle reminder to the Canadians in my feed. While the polls currently look well for the Conservatives to NOT form the next government, that means nothing if you don't get out and vote. And get out the vote. Complacency because of favourable polls can wreak havoc with the actual results.
Vote this election. #ABC #CanadaVotes
