I know I bitch a lot about gray winter skies here, but every once in a while, we'll have a clear night where the full moon illuminates the snow and it's beautiful.

Just shot this photo from my deck. The sun won't be up for another hour and a half.

It is true that no former president has ever been indicted, but no former president has done what Donald Trump has done.

The fundamental idea that no one is above the law is only true if we make it so.

“More and more research is defining just how beneficial green spaces can be for human health, especially when woven into urban environments. Now, a new study specifically looks into how the green spaces planned for Barcelona, Spain could benefit the city. The findings show potential improvements in mental health for more than 30,000 people.”

⚠️ Via Sherrilyn Ifill:

This is a VERY SERIOUS situation unfolding in #Nashville. Reps who stood w/their constituents who came to state house to demand #guns safety are facing expulsion from the House. Their Member ID badges have already been turned off. This is how #democracy ends.

Olivia Julianna:

...The Tenn. legis is planning to expel lawmakers who stood w gun control advocates today.

They've been stripped from committee assignments & their member ID’s shut off

THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

imagine thinking cannabis should be illegal, but guns should be unregulated. what a fascinating specimen the uninterrogated human mind can be

@dlupham it would be good to get an introduction to Tainan from someone who has lived (or does live) here…

Today is my last full day in #Taipei for a while… I want to explore more of #Taiwan so I’m heading to #Tainan tomorrow and after that it’s “TBC”.

This would be a great time to get a #remotejob in #dataanalytics or something similar.

A War With China Would Be Unlike Anything Americans Faced Before https://flip.it/aH0uiB

Ukraine issued a postage stamp reproducing a mural by British street artist Banksy showing a boy defeating a grown man in judo, to mark the first anniversary of Russia’s invasion.
We can assume the boy is #Ukraine and that the grown man getting his ass kicked represents #Russia

Important web development acronyms

Billionaires lost $1.9 trillion in 2022.

Elon Musk lost $115 billion.

Jeff Bezos lost $80 billion.

Mark Zuckerberg lost $78 billion.

None of this has any real consequence on their daily lives.

Hoarding wealth like this is grotesque.

This is why I want as little human interaction as possible in my next (preferably remote/online, non-teaching) job… this is not just an opinion, I explain/predict the (potential) mess/problems, then watch it unfold after I’m told I don’t know what I’m talking about… 🤬

One day after quoting MLK on MLK Day, Florida MAGA Gov Ron DeSantis cancels AP African American Studies Program, saying it ‘Lacks Educational Value’

This is literally white supremacist talking points & a reminder how much these people still hate MLK today.

Indeed, DeSantis banning AP African American Studies is a reminder of that old quote -- White privilege is when your history is the curriculum and every other history is an elective.
