Via Will: "When a cargo ship took out a #Baltimore bridge, it also demolished the lies poisoning our #immigration debate

The 6 migrant men who died weren't drug dealers or sex traffickers but hero dads filling potholes to give their kids a better life.

This column meant more to me than anything I've written for a while. Here's an excerpt. Please take a moment to read the whole thing."

I gave #linkedin an honest try, for a year or more, in terms of finding #work. It's a cesspool of #toxicpositivity and fake job postings.

Now I'm asking, with all urgency -- to anyone who has anything #tech to offer, please consider a guy who has:

- 30 yrs of exp
- out of work 20 mo
- 3 kids, one approaching her 1st birthday
- a track record for secure systems
- a month before eviction
- low salary reqs

This fitness and lifestyle challenge has its ups and downs. But it helps to consider it on the micro-level opposed to the macro-level. Two workouts a day is becoming a part of day-to-day life. I’m drinking so much water everyday there’s no desire for alcohol, let alone room. Instead of doom scrolling, go out and enjoy the patio and read a few pages. #75Hard

Because I needed another reason to never fly on a 737 MAX.

Full text search has been merged in #Mastodon `main` branch, and will be in the next (and final?) 4.2.0 beta 🎉

It is opt-in, so it will take some time to be filled with people content as they enable their profile to be indexed, but this was one of the most wanted Mastodon features for some time.

We plan to deploy it to mastodon.social and mastodon.online in the coming days to have a bit more feedback on it and see how it behaves in the wild.

Great news: Free KN95 masks are now available from public health vending machines in NYC.

This is amazing work! Not everyone can afford to buy high quality masks regularly. If we want more people to wear masks, high quality masks should be available for free everywhere. Having them in public health vending machines in NYC is a great first step!

if you used to be bad at web design and now you’re pretty good, what helped you get better? I often feel like I’m not improving even though I make a fair number of websites

(asking about visual design/UX design here, NOT html/css/js)

@MostlyHarmless Bruh!

@kurtsh thanks for sharing I had not come across this. I’m a huge Heat fan. Jaime plays hard hope he puts it altogether in the NBA.

Since there's apparently something like 300,000 more users on here, here's some articles I've written about getting started with #Mastodon and the #fediverse.

I love a good vibe. Candle. Snoh Aalegra. Good bourbon. 😎 #GoodVibes

@stephenesherman @colemankane This problem can be solved by following all of them at once: https://mastodon.social/@skry/110646546949221054

Just finished #Barry and I’m very pleased with the ending. It was satisfying in the similar fashion of the Breaking Bad finale. All I can say is, Wow.

@allochthonous Thank you for sharing.

@juddlegum no need to invest into lighting the roadways, the roadways will be glowing on their own. #StayWoke

I’ve been here for six months but have yet to introduce myself. #Introduction. You can call me “Stack”, as others do, the reason why is a story for another time.

I am an IT Professional with 15+ years experience in modern workplace and enterprise collaboration. But you can ask me about #SharePoint #SPFx #M365 #Reactjs etc…

#Steelers fan as Pittsburgh is my hometown. But Florida is home now.

I did at one time enjoy the other site, it’s a shame what it has become. But that is the power of hubris it can be very destructive.

Twitter learned, and Reddit is fast learning, that people are not addicted to the platform, they’re addicted to the community they found there. Ruin the community, and people will leave the platform. It really is that simple.
