Had a good sleep! Time for coffee and some links.
Today’s will be abbreviated because we have our granddaughter over and she’s more fun to play with. 😀
Ten days after a shooter unloaded 152 rounds inside a Nashville school and killed six people, Tennessee House Republicans on Thursday expelled two Democratic lawmakers for breaking House rules and mounting a gun-reform protest on the chamber’s floor.
Yeah, they kick out the two black representatives and allow the white one to stay. Good job saying the quiet part out loud. It’s disgusting on so many levels to watch out country regress back to 1950’s America.
I had a corpse on my phone, and I kept checking in on it. Ever since January 12th, my preferred iOS Twitter app had been locked in stasis, frozen on an error modal informing me that “there was a problem authenticating with Twitter,” and wow, was there ever. Without any notice, Twitter had revoked the mainline access credentials for Tweetbot and every other third-party client not operated by Twitter itself.
I’m happy the Tapbots folks were able to somewhat recover from Space Karen’s sudden decision to destroy a third-party ecosystem without notice.
Ivory is a beautiful app for Mastodon. Go buy it and support this amazing indie shop.
In 1991, Warren Burger, the former Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, appeared on PBS News Hour and said exactly what he thought about the Second Amendment: “If I were writing the Bill of Rights, there would be no such thing as the Second Amendment—that a well-regulated militia being necessary for the defense of the state, the peoples’ rights to bear arms.”
Once again, it’s the guns.
For over 20 years, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been treated to luxury vacations by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow.
The man is now saying “Oh, I thought those trips were ok because they were personal trip.” Really? 😳
Come on man, we’re not that dumb. Time for an independent ethics oversight. Sorry Clarence, time to pay for your own luxury trips. Better yet, it’s time to resign in shame. Of course he won’t do that because Republicans only care about money and power. Zero ethics.
Since the beginning, GitHub.com has been a Ruby on Rails monolith. Today, the application is nearly two million lines of code and more than 1,000 engineers collaborate on it daily.
I had no idea GitHub ran on Rails. Huge codebase with a huge team.
Horrible leadership, racism, sexism, abuse, and violations of countless labor laws in both the U.S. and internationally could only lead to one possible outcome. The lawsuits are piling up and the employees are going to take the hit. Payroll is going to be missed.
This is a great playbook for destroying a company.
Beyond supporting Denver PrideFest, Molson Coors has a distinguished history of supporting LGBTQ communities across the country, with significant support for organizations such as Human Rights Campaign (HRC), Matthew Shepard Foundation, National Amateur Gay Athletics Association of America, National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce, LGBT Victory Institute, Out & Equal, and One Colorado.
I haven’t looked into the whole kerfuffle but apparently Budweiser became enemy number one to MAGA’s everywhere.
Guess it’s time to add Coors to the list?
