Was about to jump into a conversation here that I wasn't part of, with someone I don't know, to defend someone else I don't know, on a point they may not have been making, about a subject I am not an expert in.
But didn't. Feel like I am growing.
Can't guarantee I won't next time. Baby steps.

@fairphone.com trying to tempt me with the Fairphone 6, which looks great, but I'm nearing 3 years with the excellent Fairphone 4.

My hair doesn't naturally go up at the front, it's cause I spend so much time with my head in my hands.
guy next to me in the café was quite dramatically sitting with his head in his hands so I glanced at his screen to see what he was working on, and it was a doc with "IDEAS:" written at the top and absolutely nothing else
my brother I hear you, I feel you, we are as one

In years to come we will view the mainstreaming of transphobia with the same contempt and disgust we view Section 28 and those who supported it. That doesn't help trans and non-binary individuals facing it now though. That requires a concerted effort to push for change, support and recognition.

Really wanted to be dismissive of the @politicsjoe.bsky.social Kneecap ep, but, imo, Sean knocked it out of the park.

Thankfully it wasn't where MLK made that speech, any excuse to go back and re-listen to that speech though!
A lot of quotes on here of the "first they came for socialists..", but what Dr King says here is we should act, not because they come for us, but because they've gone after them.

Umm, I don’t see this mentioned in any national news outlets… but the historic Clayborn Temple in Memphis, the site of MLK’s “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speech, burned down this morning. My sadness is immeasurable. www.fox13memphis.com/news/watch-h...

I know I'm just an amateur camera jocky, and this is a fine stock image of a type of shoot, but I find this advert depressing.
Surely a camera advert should be a bit more ambitious?

A lot of chat about self service check out lately, and I can't help thinking it's mostly missing the point.
Reminds me of the Flight of the Conchords lyrics:
They're turning kids into slaves
Just to make cheaper sneakers
But what's the real cost?
'Cause the sneakers don't seem that much cheaper
