Absolutely brilliant. #TinySnekComics

Four panel comic.

First panel: Guy with a board on a stand which states: How to incite a MORAL PANIC in 3 easy steps.

Second panel: 1. Make outlandish claims against people you don't like

Two people talking. One says: "did you hear about hat people? i think they're eating babies" The other is looking flabbergasted. 

A third person is standing away from them and wearing a hat and is saying to themselves: "i like 2 wear mi hat"

Third panel: Sit back and smile as the New York Times uncritically adopts your argument

picture of a newspaper with a picture of a person wearing a hat in the centre. Headline: DO HAT PEOPLE DESERVE RIGHTS?

Text underneath the picture: A whistleblower speaks out against concerning behavior

Fourth panel: 3. Have fun and legally persecute the people you hate with few consequences!

TIL that macOS ships with a default CLI command called "sips", for "scriptable image processing system" - and it can convert webp images to PNG, but it can also generate entirely new images from scratch using an almost entirely undocumented canvas-based JavaScript API! til.simonwillison.net/macos/si

I signed the New York Times letter about the paper's anti-trans coverage. Wholeheartedly.

As a journalist who has covered the Christian right for decades, and has covered their assaults on LGBTQ people and trans people in particular, I've found the NYT's acquiescence to/bothsidesing of their hateful anti-trans propaganda maddening and intolerable.

Phenomenal essay from a recently departed ex-Googler on the systemic forces that enforce mediocrity within the product organization medium.com/@pravse/the-maze-is

The way I see it, Google has four core cultural problems. They are all the natural consequences of having a money-printing machine called “Ads” that has kept growing relentlessly every year, hiding all other sins.

(1) no mission, (2) no urgency, (3) delusions of exceptionalism, (4) mismanagement.

Musk and Murdoch together at the football game is a gathering of today's most powerful anti-democracy media barons. And it's a reminder that journalists who would never consider working for Murdoch's Fox "News" -- at least he pays for his content -- are still toiling for free to support Musk's rancid trollsite.

Everything Everywhere All At Once should win every single one of the 11 oscar nominations it got, and that's still not enough praise for this movie IMO. Easily makes my top 20 all time. 🤩 youtube.com/watch?v=wxN1T1uxQ2

Sorry, but fuck CWs for this post.

I spent part of the afternoon here crying and talking to my bestie as news hit about the bullying murdered trans girl Brianna Ghey had been subjected to.

I left school 30 years ago. I've been in therapy, and I still fall apart when I hear a story of long-term bullying similar to mine where cops & school were absolutely useless and probably made the situation much worse by their inaction. Abusers become more smug when they sense they have impunity.

Thankful that the violence I incurred from my attackers didn't kill my "sissy, fag, poof, girl" body, but I sure have plenty of scars in my mind, and damn it still triggers me to fall apart and regress back to that scared child and teen.

Justice for

Want real systemic change? No more tinkering around the edges.

No more tiny tweaks to the tax code.

No more half-hearted reforms.

No more slaps on the wrist for corporations.

No more doing things small.

We simply don’t have the time. @SolanaRice and I sat down to discuss.
