@JillsJoy Can’t believe the government of the USA is finally doing something to fight climate change.

"An organization’s culture sets the foundation for what it can achieve. Working in a space where people feel safe to experiment, explore, connect, create, and be human, enables creative and valuable outcomes. Alternatively, an organization that commands, controls, judges, reprimands, and considers people expendable significantly limits creative output and value delivery. A healthy culture can make a huge difference in organizational success." - Janet Gregory, Lisa Crispin

Why reactive moderation isn't going to cut it, aka, "The Sucker-punch Problem".
Imagine you invite your friend—let's call him Mark—to a club with you. It's open-door, which is cool, because you like when a lot of folx show up. Sure, it might get a little rowdy, but they have a bouncer, and you've never seen things getting out of hand.
So, you're busy dancing when a new guy walks in wearing a "I Hate Mark" shirt and promptly sucker-punches Mark. You didn't see it happen, but Mark is upset and tells the bouncer, who kicks the guy out.
A few minutes later, the same guy walks back in and sucker-punches Mark again. Same result. Some people in the club say they'll tell the bouncer if they see him come in again.
Mark wants to leave, but you tell him it's not that bad—after all, you've never been punched, and you didn't see Mark get punched, so maybe he's just being sensitive.
A different guy walks in wearing a "I Plan On Punching Mark" shirt. No one tells the bouncer, because they've never seen *this* guy punch Mark.
He sucker-punches Mark. At this point, Mark is pissed and yelling about being punched.
The club members talk about putting up a "No Punching Mark" sign, but the owner is worried it'll hurt his club's growth.
Another Mark in the club proposes they turn away anyone wearing an anti-Mark shirt or espousing anti-Mark rhetoric at the door, but this gets shot down for the same reason as the sign idea—then someone sucker-punches him.
By the end of the night, your friend Mark is beat to fuck and says he'll never come to this club again. In fact, he's going to tell anyone named Mark to stay clear of this place.
The next time you go to the club, half the folx there are wearing "I Kill Marks" shirts, but there aren't any Marks there, so it doesn't come up.
I've been sucker-punched every day, for the last three days in a row by some of the most vile hate-speech and imagery. The accounts are using open registration servers and signing up with variations on the username "heilhitler1488". I fully expect it'll continue as long as we have open registration servers.
And no, username pattern blocking alone won't fix this, it'll help a little, but mostly it'll just make them wear a different shirt while they sucker-punch us.
I'm thinking of getting a salaried job after years of freelancing. (The stress and overhead isn't worth it with a toddler, I'd rather have it calm.)
If you know someone who needs a #Swiftlang dev with 10+ years of experience, macOS and iOS, also some C and #Rust, who can self-manage and also manage-manage and act as product owner etc. (I'm also an indie with the full spectrum of experience), do share!
Thanks 🙏

Instead of reporting on the dollar amounts of corporate fines, the news should just say how many minutes of profit the fine represents. "The EPA slapped Apple with a two second fine," is much more honest.
The man who gleefully did this was just awarded a trillion dollar pay package by his shareholders.
Karma is a myth and life is defined by injustice.
If you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 million years to earn a trillion dollars.
If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.
Tax the rich.
The absolute fanaticism of the Republican elite class cannot be underestimated.
Here's Steve Bannon telling a conference of big donors and activists that they had better get even more extreme because he and they will be going to prison if they keep losing.
Democrats and high-level people on the left must become more passionate and dedicated to the work. Bannon fantasizes about jailing and executing the opposition, without question.

BTW the THINGS didn’t want their faces in the photo, so here’s my boob and their chests showing you the 3 votes for #ZohranMamdani from chez Liza.
ALSO, you know what scares fascists the most? #antifa mothers. especially if they have more than one child. double especially if their children happen to grow up to be antifascist, antiracist, feminist men.
The 430 lb donkeys don’t accept the idea that their 1000 lb horse buddy gets a lot more food than they do.
