I have cancelled my spoon symphonic orchestra appearance at the Trump Kennedy Center, due to it being too highbrow for those yokels.

The frequency with which Palestinian voices are silenced on this platform is disturbing. I do not believe that they are treated equally, given what I see others say.
It's shameful, and a reminder that this place may be better than Twitter but it's not the answer.
Slightly less evil is not enough.

Lexi Alexander, a Palestinian activist, has been suspended from Bluesky, again
This is not the first case where Pro-Palestinian voices are suspended from the platform with no reason at all!
I have emailed @support.bsky.team 👇
Stop the censorship! ‼️

Not for nothing, but men using tampons as a joke to dismiss a program as "not serious" is a really classic misogynist trope. We can all see what's happening here.

Four-Song Peel Session of soul singer Ann Peebles from October 9, 1974. John Peel thought she was “the owner of one of the world’s great voices” and “I Can’t Stand the Rain” (written with husband Don Bryant) was one of his favourite singles. #RIPDonBryant

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)
