This is definitely the fault of somebody on here I just don’t remember who #eMudhra

On this day in 1977, Queen released ‘News of the World,’ featuring “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.” With Freddie Mercury's soaring vocals and Brian May's mighty guitar, the band created two stadium anthems for the ages.

THIS IS JIM CROW 2.0

and it’s why in New York State, it is enshrined in our state constitution everybody eligible has a right to vote; and that the state has to make sure everybody does.

so, for example, in #NYS you register once. if your address changes, you just tell the board of elections to update your info. YET, if you do move and forget to change your address, you have a right to an affidavit ballot.

Mississippi is one of the original Confederacy (slavery defending) states.

Remember the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon game? Turns out: “Kevin Bacon is not the center of Hollywood. In fact, he never has been, and almost certainly never will be.” https://pudding.cool/2026/10/kevin-bacon

I don’t know if you Americans are following closely what’s happening with Bolsonaro, but your president has aided someone to enter the country on an a cancelled passport, granted them a humanitarian visa and is assisting him as he attempts a coup on the democratically elected president of Brasil

This is very serious - war level serious - and it baffles me you’re saying you’ll deal with it on the midterms, you should be going to the streets and trying to stop it from happening.

OPINION: "For most people, the spirit of analog photography was mainly channeled through Instagram filters. But within the past five years, younger people have been increasingly drawn to the old way of doing photography," Rozen Rozental writes.

Rest in Power Dolores Huerta.

Grateful for #DoloresHuerta sharing her truth before she left. It makes it easier to stand on the right side of history.

Does anyone know any not-for-profits or charities who would be interested in hiring a senior ruby on rails engineer? I am based in London but happy to work remotely, or potentially split my time.

I would also be very interested in working on an open source project.

I was tech lead at a health tech in my last position. Have worked in tech for 20 years from systems administrator, to php, to ruby.

Please boost. Please DM me if you have ever worked at the kind of place I am looking for.

Still remembering when the CEO of #Substack called me a loser blogger in a forum for keeping this list. https://sightlessscribbles.com/posts/substack/

“Well. That’s just the way the world is.”

No, you incompetent crumb bum. That’s just the type of abuse YOU settled for. That’s not how we operate over here.

They are currently making it impossible for me to schedule my own hysterectomy. Via absolute incompetence and laziness. It has been a week of being ignored. First they scheduled something without my permission, and then canceled without me knowing. Both the hospital and I have been calling for a new date. No one returns the calls.

I literally don’t know what else to do other than to go into the office and have a nervous breakdown.

It’s already hard enough. This is just…. Fucking insane.

#BenitoMussolini's #Blackshirts' #MarchOnRome began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1922. Italy's prime minister was not allowed use of the army to stop this show of force & intimidation; instead the king put #Mussolini in charge. Élites think they can control #fascists and never learn.

Side neither with nations nor with parties. Be neither Russians, Poles nor Slavs. Rather, be men who hunger for truth, free from any thoughts of particular interests, and from speculative ideas concerning the Chinese, Africans or Europeans. The patriot always ends up hating the foreigner, and loses the sense of justice that once kindled his enthusiasm.

OPINION: "A small but growing number of randomized clinical trials (show) that reducing maternal depression has benefits for babies, including improved emotional development and changes in stress-related hormones," Davis et al. write.

@yayaver the actual problem is the rule change that Reagan did in 1982 to the Security and Exchange Commission rule 18 B. This is the rule that allows stock buybacks. Prior to 1982, stock buybacks were considered to be market manipulation and were against the law. This is what ushered us into shareholder only capitalism. Rolling back that one rule would mean that profits could not be used to raise shareholder stock value. Prior to 1982 the additional profit was distributed to the employees in the form of higher wages and new research. #ResistOfTheDay
