He shot himself. He was an extremist antisemite.

BBC article. The band blue say "mental health wasn't a thing back then".

Wikipedia dating Blue's debut album as 26 November 2001.

Speaking as someone who is self-employed, Charlie Kirk was a fascist fuckhead.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

I'm trying to find out the employer of the person who wrote the "Hitler has only got one ball, the other, is in the Albert Hall" song so that I can demand that they be fired. It's a disgrace! Something something patriot something.

Remembering Adolf Hitler: a family man and dog lover.

He expressed ardent opinions about certain demographics, but is not known to have harmed any of them with his own hands.

After suffering many assassination attempts by leftists, he was ultimately killed by an extremist antisemite.

Thanks, Stu. Search shows they've ripped off 4 books by me, so added all those to the contact info. 🤞

Drove around the valleys of Iceland this year and was spectacular. Surprisingly hot; actually got a burned arm while driving. Less spectactular: accidentally taking a hire car nearly into a ravine.

On Brewski, people post like you're part of an ongoing conversation, giving no context. On Mastodon, people give context and often citations.

Typical Brewski post on a hated political figure: "He's such a vile sh**bag isn't he?"

And on Mastodon: "Trump shat himself in public while saluting [link]"

You forgot the part where the average full-stack developer is deeply resentful that he got assigned to do front end that week.

Hiring only full stack developers is a solution for a management problem (staffing flexibility) but at the cost of product team efficiency and user experience.

No human should have the power to put JavaScript in one place, let alone two.

Well... no. Because nobody is asking front-end developers to do back-end work. The back-end is usurping the front-end, not the other way around.
