A sad tale on how moving from smaller local schools to one large school outside of town has externalized costs to everyone in terms of commute time, increased pollution, and making impossible healthy options like walking or biking.

your anti-imperialism should extend to imperial units of measurement
I subscribe to The Athletic and read an article about Player X in Safari on my IPad. Next I went to the YouTube app and saw a page of recommendations, one about Player X. Google sees all, total lack of privacy.
Extremely maddening and frustrating to talk to your local politiicians in 2019 and hear them spout things like "changing light bulbs" and "better recycling education" as climate change solutions.
Pal, we need a massive carbon tax and ban on plastic. Anything else is fiddling while the world burns.
Nothing will change until cities are burning and citizens are rioting in the streets.

omg making transit free is definitely and seriously being proposed as a means of fighting climate change in Oregon. Source: https://static1.squarespace.com/static/59c554e0f09ca40655ea6eb0/t/5dead93f9aa1093be5b513f4/1575672127872/2019-12-12-OGWC-Draft-Transport-Recs.pdf

If you're not coming down hard on toxic and often violent bigoted behavior, you're contributing to the problem.
PV is proof positive that we don't have to deal with any of this non-sense if we just *try*.
If you have a bigot problem in your community, it's because you want it there.
Period.
Y’all know that England has a bunch of official #cats with job titles?
My latest mechanical watch, a Sugess chronometer. The quality and detail work are amazing for the price ($220), the movement is beautiful thru the display back.
climate strike, depressing
My sign for the local climate strike tomorrow
This is parody so pure, it’s art. 👍🏻 https://youtu.be/yPvKhFXc7ck
Really good set of articles on building distributed systems. I wish I'd had this when starting to build @sidekiq.
I saw "The Lighthouse" yesterday. It was weird and confusing, I wish I had those two hour of my life back.
