On a flight to southern Oregon (on a tiny Bombadier plane, which I hate, and they say it’ll be bumpy, which I super-hate). Every second person is wearing a MAGA or Turning Point logo. Very different from the communities I usually hang out in.

Mandatory internet labeling laws have been rejected over and over again as unconstitutional. I don't see how this passes any level of scrutiny. Which @agounardes.bsky.social@bsky.brid.gy was told multiple times by constituents (some of whom shared this with me). His response was to call them big tech shills.

Just had someone leave feedback on my F/OSS project saying “maybe that's fine if a product is focused on your Chinese community.”
I'm Korean. Every single piece of documentation is in English. There's nothing in Chinese anywhere in the project.
This kind of microaggression is exhausting. As a non-white maintainer, you deal with these assumptions constantly—people who feel entitled to your labor while casually othering you based on your name.
It chips away at your motivation. It makes you wonder why you bother.

@hongminhee I'm sorry you had to (very gracefully) deal with that idiot. I took a look at their resume and, yeah, a couple of red flags right there.

Amazing work from whoever was up in N6914W over Ohio … www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...
At the very least, makes me wonder if someone internal who is pissed about this segment being pulled decided to post this note as a sort of alert, knowing it would call extra attention to it. If they had just quietly pulled it and not aired it, a lot of people would have missed it.

Just noting this came out the same day JD Vance insisted that the left was a mono-view unthinking borg of leftist views controlled by Soros, as an attempt to defend the MAGA internal fighting over just how racist the GOP should be.
