As someone with extensive IT experience, I can almost guarantee the AT&T outage yesterday was over some certificate expiring somewhere and nobody knowing how to regenerate it because Carl got laid off seven years ago and the only machine with the keys decommissioned in 2019.
I don’t care how old Biden is. I’m not voting for the guy who wants Russia to invade Europe.
Happy to announce that @hnetafrica has published a new review by @MirceaLazar1 of "Queer African Cinemas" by Lindsey B. Green-Simms. Available on @HNet_Reviews h-net.org/reviews/showre…

I think we can all use some good news. While plenty went wrong in 2023, here are a few amazing things that happened: 1. We just reached a new record for the % of children around the world that live to 5 years old. It's now 96.4% - up from just 73% in 1950.
Next time someone tells you Trump was "the most anti-war President of our lifetime" ask them what wars he ended, then show them this chart.
Astonishing (and perhaps under appreciated): No. of U.S. commercial airline crashes by year: 2010: 0. 2011: 0. 2012: 0. 2013: 0. 2014: 0. 2015: 0. 2016: 0. 2017: 0. 2018: 0. 2019: 0. 2020: 0. 2021: 0. 2022: 0. 2023 (so far): 0.
Lost for words......
This is very, very grim and very bad.
Hamas used rape as a weapon of war. They intentionally raped and murdered Israeli women on Oct. 7th. The refusal of some to acknowledge this completely undermines the cause of Palestinian liberation. Hamas is not synonymous with Palestinians. Stop rationalizing their brutality.
Tonight in Philly, we saw a blatant act of antisemitism — not a peaceful protest. A restaurant was targeted and mobbed because its owner is Jewish and Israeli. This hate and bigotry is reminiscent of a dark time in history.

I wonder what percentage of Americans are aware we now produce nearly 50% more oil than Saudi Arabia

Oakland City Council passed a reso calling for Gaza ceasefire. When a council member asked to add language condemning Hamas, a stream of public comment praising & supporting Hamas ensued. The council then rejected the request to condemn Hamas. Just awful.
Incredible. It never fails to correlate.

@Tyler_The_Wise The Book of Mormon states that the law of Moses, which includes circumcision, should be done away among believers, so that their children might remain without circumcision.
Maine House Maj leader: If Nebraska Republicans “were to change their electoral system this late in the cycle … to unfairly award Trump an additional electoral vote, I think the Maine Leg would be compelled to act in order to restore fairness to our country’s electoral system.”
There will not be a magic day when we wake up and it's now okay to express ourselves publicly. We make that day by doing things publicly until it's simply the way things are. 🏳️🌈 #LesbianVisibilityDay
Let’s not pretend it’s normal that the Supreme Court is deciding whether the president gets to be a dictator.
sometimes I really want to return to the days when politicians made no sense at all like why can't we have Democrats elected in Idaho who deny climate change or Republicans elected in downtown Chicago who support ACAB

@StatisticUrban @Tyler_The_Wise This should be taxed so that it is unaffordable. We need a massive carbon and curb weight tax.
“Can you call the philosophy department and tell them I’ve been arrested?” is an all-time quote.

My hot take is that 2024 is going to be a comfortable win for Biden and democrats up and down the ballot. I don’t think conservatives realize how much normal and real Americans hate the Republican Party.
